Accreditation possibilities/availability

As one benefit of membership, RCC members may seek accreditation in public relations. The voluntary APR designation identifies communicators who have demonstrated broad knowledge, experience and professional judgment in planning and managing public relations activities.

To earn accreditation, candidates must have at least five years of full-time public relations experience and demonstrate mastery of a specified body of public relations knowledge by passing a six-hour written and one-hour oral examination.

The independent Universal Accreditation Board manages the accreditation process. RCC is one of nine communications/public relations organizations represented on the Board.
