Certificate in Public Relations Practice

The international free flow of information, globalisation and the speed at which news is being disseminated via social media have made the fields of PR and Marketing imperative for any business, government organisation, or corporation.

From world-leading nations to small islands, global corporations to local businesses, all are finding themselves exposed and vulnerable to the speed of communication and the power of unchecked narratives channelled through the web.

Today more than ever, they are vulnerable to crisis, as they are constantly put under the microscope. It is within this new media world order that the need for constant "engagement" and "relationship building" has become the bread and butter of PR and Marketing professionals.

This course will touch on the latest trends and techniques used today in the public relations industry while highlighting the shifts in the practice. Throughout the four days sessions you will learn the "how to", "when" and "what" constitute a successful public relations campaign.

• Executives who wish to sharpen their public speaking skills
• Managers that need to get a fresh outlook on latest trends in PR
• Mid-Management Staff who are tasked with handling content and promotional collateral for company social media platforms
