Libby Gibson, PR Diploma

Studying for the CIPR Professional PR Diploma has transformed the way I approach my work.

Boosting existing practical knowledge with a deeper understanding of PR theory and best practice, whilst completing assignments with direct applicability to my day job, has been invaluable. In particular, the grounding the course offers in PR strategy and planning has been a refreshing influence, with the assignments offering a chance for in-depth exploration.

Add to that the opportunity that the fantastic Saturday sessions offered to discuss ideas with tutors and other students alike, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the course to those looking for the next challenge in their career.

My tips for anyone starting out on the course?

Prepare to challenge your thinking, get stuck into the reading and discussion, and enjoy!
