Thinking About Getting Your APR?

Where your career in public relations takes you is based on individual drive, determination and diligence. One next step all seasoned practitioners (those with five or more years of full-time public relations experience) should consider is earning the Accredited in Public Relations (APR) designation. Earning the APR certification proves you have successfully demonstrated competency in the broad knowledge, skills and abilities required to practice public relations effectively in today's business arena. The only professional certification program open to public relations professionals, the APR signifies a high level of experience and competence. As our own Joe Epley, APR, Fellow PRSA, says: "APR is a symbol of professionalism. It also demonstrates that they care about their own profession and that they are dedicated to enhancing their own personal abilities."
