Media and Public Relations Course

$49

Using Media and PR (public relations) is one of the most effective ways to give your organisation or yourself profile. It covers many channels and means of communicating from personal networking to appearances at conferences or in traditional media such as print or on television. In addition is the new wave of social media that gives you more control but easy to lose your message in the noise. Our course will give you an overview of many different practical tools that give you the skillset in dealing with the media and public, both in proactive and reactive situations.

In all our business courses, you get access to around six hours of e-learning that you can watch, listen and read. There are usually 100 questions and at the end of the course you will receive a certificate of completion that you can use against any personal or professional development requirements. As well as the course, you also receive a FREE e-book that you can read on your Kindle or other e-reader. You also get a FREE audiobook of the course so you can listen to the whole course uninterrupted on your device.

Who It's for?

This course is for anyone who needs to have an overview on basic media relations for maybe their own business, managing marketing focused teams or new in post.

Prior knowledge

You don’t need any specific prior experience in marketing but any work you have done will help you understand and relate to the key principles outlined here.

As you develop your career, there will be a constant requirement to not only refresh and update existing technical learning but also to develop new skills and ways of thinking and behaving.

Technical Skills

Whether you’re in production, distribution, sales, finance, human resources or management your technical skills will always need to keep up with the latest developments in technology and change. The learning for this will generally come from your peers, industry trends and specialised training.

New skills

However, as you move up in seniority through an organisation or become and entrepreneur, you will be faced with learning a much wider array of skills. You will need to learn how to be a generalist but with the ability to look at the whole of a business and how it all interlocks.

People Skills

Most importantly, you will need to master your own behaviours and character and emotional intelligence in order to influence, inspire and bring people along with your vision.

Your career, personal and professional development should never stop, whether you are learning because of a company or professional body requirement or whether you are just wanting to grow.
