As a PR practitioner, consultant and educator, I’ve seen how learning improves confidence by enhancing current capabilities to help achieve future potential.
As a public affairs professional, I know that digital is an increasingly important aspect of the political communications mix. It’s vital that practitioners of all disciplines get to grips with this ever-changing landscape and how it can best be used to manage organisational reputation and build meaningful relationships with online stakeholders. I would recommend a digital course to anyone who wants to add a truly valuable string to their bow.

Its great news that your employer is investing in your development. The first thing to do is get a purchase order - you will need it when you enrol. This is really important as without it we aren't able to raise an invoice. Alternatively you can pay using a company credit or debit card at checkout - that's probably the easiest way.
The second thing is to allow plenty of time! We need payment before the course starts and we know that sometimes company's payment processes can take a while. So act now to get it all sorted in plenty of time.
