Public opinion has a direct influence over the success and stability of every organisation. For a business to remain competitive, it needs to carefully manage its reputation. Just as strong public opinion can propel organisations into the spotlight for all the right reasons, negative PR can have the exact opposite effect. The public as a whole has the power to determine which businesses succeed and which are ultimately rendered unviable. To master the art of PR management is to hold the power and influence of public opinion in the palm of your hand.

Those who master PR at a professional level are among the most valuable assets in the world to employers and business leaders.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
