CIPR courses

Our range of CIPR qualifications covers public relations, internal communications and public affairs. Whether you are just starting out or looking to take the next step in your career, there is a qualification to suit you.

The CIPR Foundation in Public Relations is taught at A-level, the CIPR Advanced Certificate in Public Relations at degree level and the CIPR Diploma in Public Relations at Masters level.

The PR Diploma is the CIPR’s flagship qualification. It is a ten-month course covering a broad range of theory and practice. While the CIPR Internal Communication Diploma and CIPR Public Affairs Diploma are also taught at Masters level, they are shorter courses. Either of the short diplomas can be substituted for the final module of the 10-month PR Diploma, making it that bit easier to obtain two qualifications.

The Advanced Certificate is a great choice of course if you want to gain a deeper understanding of PR and to develop your strategic skills. While the CIPR Internal Communication Certificate is also taught at degree level, it is a shorter course and can be substituted for the final module of the 10-month Advanced Certificate.
