Though competence of RCM missionary trainers in the area of dedication to duty and spirituality has been assessed before, no study has been carried out on the assessment of their intercultural competence. Fantini’s Intercultural Competence Assessment Scale was used to assess the intercultural competence of the trainers. Descriptive research design was used for the study. The population of the study included the 38 full time trainers at the permanent site and the 278 adjunct trainers scattered all over Nigeria. Out of the entire population of the study (316 persons), copies of the questionnaire were privately sent via Google Form to 250 participants and 204 of them responded. In addition, ten (10) senior trainers were purposively selected for interview and the analysis was done using descriptive statistics while data was presented in pie and bar charts. The study reveals that 50-56% of the trainers possessed a very high competence level in all the four dimensions of intercultural competence which are: intercultural knowledge, intercultural skill, intercultural attitude and intercultural awareness. Yet, it has been discovered that there is still much to do in order to improve the RCM trainers’ intercultural competence; for instance, there should be more investment on culture and language learning. It has been recommended in this study that the college should be taking the staff through periodic assessment of intercultural competence so that needed areas of adjustment could be identified and necessary adjustments made.
