Overview

Public Relations Basic Level 1 Online

Certificate in Public Relations QLS Level 1. The course comes with easy to understand e-learning study materials.

Interested in learning how public opinion shapes the fortunes of businesses worldwide? Ever fancied yourself as the next high-flying PR guru? Discover what it is that makes positive PR the most valuable marketing tool in the world with this exclusive Level 1 Public Relations Course from CPD Courses!

To remain competitive or even survive long-term, organisations need public approval. Regardless of whether or not the business works directly with the public, PR can singlehandedly determine success or failure. When an organization develops a strong and stable reputation with the general public, success is all-but guaranteed. By contrast, fall out of favour with the public and even the largest businesses can be brought to their knees overnight. The public holds in its collective hands truly extraordinary power. Which is precisely why those who know how to manage (and sometimes manipulate) public opinion represent the most valuable assets the modern business has access to.

This inspiring Level 1 Public Relations Course has been designed to provide newcomers with an entry-level overview of the PR profession and its purpose. Whether looking to advance an existing career or explore PR for the first time, this introductory course comes highly recommended. With the help of CPD Courses, a rewarding lifelong career as the next PR guru could be right at your fingertips!
