When choosing a PR course last year, I was trying to find an institute that is offering a practical course and at the same time it is really covering the most important topics of public relations. Since I am always on the way, it was absolutely perfect for me to have the possibility to do the course online. The assignments related to every single topic were very interesting and useful, not only to get an insight into the different areas of Public Relations, but also to fully understand and have the chance to work on the details, just as in real life. The evaluation of the assignments were very clear and encouraging. If you are interested in learning, I definitely recommend to take the course!

The PR degree from the Irish Academy of Public Relations combines practice with theory in ways that allow a graduate to tackle any real world promotional challenges. The ability to work with those involved in the Smoking Ban campaign, build projects for Enable Ireland and other organizations with international reach enables a graduate to hit the ground running, as it were. In my own case, I was able to take lessons in writing press release and strategic communication into rich curriculum activities that I can offer my students at the University of Cincinnati. The alumni network also provides opportunities for ongoing professional development and growth.

My job requires me to travel a lot so when it came to choosing a course, it had to be done online and in my time, so The Irish Academy was the perfect institute for me.

The teachers were fast and efficient to replying to emails and were always there to help when needed.

I wanted to learn more about Public Relations and the course that I did covered all of the important topics of PR. The modules and assignments were very clear and easy to understand. When it came to the evaluating of the assignment, the teachers were always very precise in their marking and encouraging. I would highly recommend this institute to everyone that is looking into it!

I am fortunate to be a graduate of the Irish Academy of Public Relations having earned my Diploma at UCC in 1998. I can categorically say over the last 21 years this course has been invaluable in every area of my career journey. Having recently spread my wings and launched the Just for Men brand with my two business partners once again the Public Relations training has been instrumental to the growth of our brand. While the medium of information may have to be adjusted to meet current market digital media demands; it is at the very core of the course that the ability to read, adjust and respond to the needs of our target audience was learned, it is this foundation that has stood the test of time. Ellen Gunning is and has been a positive influence over the spanning years, a force to be reckoned with, and, a genuinely nice woman I am proud to be associated with! I greatly admire Ellen, a dynamic lady who walks the walk!

I found the IAPR Diploma in Public Relations a very thorough and fulfilling course. Its modules gave me a clear and valuable appreciation of practical PR theory – and also fuelled ideas as to potential career opportunities. The feedback I received from my tutor (and Ellen) was always encouraging and maintained my motivation, which is key to distance learning.
