Accreditation in Public Relations (APR)
APR is a mark of distinction for public relations professionals who demonstrate their commitment to the profession and to its ethical practice. Individuals are selected based on broad knowledge, strategic perspective, and sound professional judgment.
Why become Accredited?
APR is a symbol of professionalism. It demonstrates that individuals have the knowledge, ethics and experience that set them apart. Increasingly, job listings are specifying APR preferred. Many senior public relations professionals have been outspoken in support of Accreditation.
