Prepare yourself for a successful career in public relations

The Public Relations Finishing School is an online learning opportunity designed to prepare and train public relations professionals and those tasked with the responsibility for communications and PR for a rewarding career in the field.

PR Finishing School students study at their own pace, and are assigned a Mentor Coordinator to help guide their customized learning and development. Receive real-world tools, practical tips and proven techniques that you can immediately put into practice. Take advantage of course modules that feature video teaching with correlative assignments, live-stream presentations, networking opportunities, optional bootcamps, and more.

All teachings are designed to augment university curriculum, internships, and job experience. There is no pressure to rush through training in order to receive your certificate of completion. Each module will be thoroughly understood prior to moving on to the next.

Course offerings are not meant to rush through in order to achieve the Certificate of Completion, as each module needs to be successfully studied and completed before moving on to the next.

The teaching augments learning provided by a university curriculum, internship, or job experience to date.
