Participate in PRSA’s online training session, “Getting Ready for the Readiness Review,” on Feb. 14, 2012 3–4 p.m. EST. This public relations accreditation training sesssion is free to PRSA members.

Like many would-be APRs, I was a bit intimidated at the process — all through college, my professors all held APRs, and it seemed like some kind of distinction for the “select, chosen few.” But after completing the application process and the questionnaire successfully, the intimidation factor certainly diminished.

Three Steps to Help You Get Accredited in Public Relations (APR)

Ever since I was a student at Buffalo State College and a professor brought in an APR to discuss the benefits of Accreditation with the class, I knew the APR was something I wanted to pursue. Many of my peers in the Buffalo Niagara Chapter of PRSA had earned Accreditation and I wanted to take my career to the next level, as they had.

Make Time for Accreditation

I had never been so nervous about clicking a mouse.

After spending nearly four hours taking my computer-based Examination for Accreditation in Public Relations, I was about to learn the unofficial results and see if all the effort I had devoted to studying had paid off.

The process began nearly a year earlier when I mailed in my APR registration form. Although I’ve worked in public relations for more than 20 years, S&A Cherokee is the first company I’ve worked for that promotes the value of Accreditation and encouraged me to pursue it.

I never studied public relations in college, but was confident in my ability to learn and demonstrate my knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs). The major obstacle for me was time.

Recently, PRSA rolled out new webinar offerings along with a shiny new system.  I was lucky to be invited to present their first webinar on the topic maximizing digital news releases. In true PRSA style, everything was buttoned up and well managed. But the most exciting change was a chat feature than enabled hundreds of PRSA members across the country to communicate with each other throughout the webinar.

Being a working mom, I like to think I’m good at juggling multiple things at once. But I have to admit, presenting while chatting was a bit too much for me. So it wasn’t until after the webinar that I really had a chance to read all the comments and appreciate how much the participants likely got from each other. This is our digital world working just as it should!
