After five or more years of experience, practitioners are encouraged to consider the value and importance of achieving the Accredited in Public Relations (APR)® designation.
The APR has been a respected measure of professional experience and competence in the field of public relations for more than 50 years. Once earned, it distinguishes you as being committed to the highest professional standards.
The yearlong accreditation process will test your proficiency in all areas of public relations and communications through rigorous evaluation of the skills and abilities needed to practice at a senior level. While evaluating experience and strategic thinking are the primary focus, it is also important to have a foundation of knowledge of public relations theory and policy issues, plus an understanding of the ethical practice of public relations and comprehension of the standards outlined in the CPRS Code of Professional Standards.
