The Accreditation in Public Relations (APR) distinguishes you and is a true measure of excellence in progressive public relations practices. Power up your professional life and write the next chapter in your career!
Led by Jennifer Kemp, APR, this local APR Prep Course is designed to:
- Guide you through the APR application process
- Help prepare you for the APR panel presentation
- Review content that is covered in the APR exam
- Help you be successful as you pursue the APR credential
In-person attendance is preferred, but there will be a virtual option if needed. Learn more about the course instructor at www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-kemp-apr/
While you are not required to be a PRSA member to enroll in the course or to apply for the APR, membership reduces the cost by half. Also, consider submitting your APR application prior to July 1 before costs increase from $385 to $495.
