APR

Distinguish Yourself...Earn Your APR. The Cincinnati Chapter can Help!
An Accreditation in Public Relations (APR) reflects an understanding and mastery of the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to develop and deliver strategic communications. For more than 50 years, APR has been the recognized gold standard for the profession.
The Cincinnati chapter offers classes for PR professionals interested in earning their APR certification, as well as practitioners interested in a comprehensive overview of our profession. The classes are designed specifically to help APR candidates prepare for their Panel Presentation (formerly Readiness Review) and the computer-based exam.
Details for the 2026 are not yet available, but will be posted on this page when they are finalized. Contact our Accreditation Director if you are interested in taking part in this year’s prep class.
