An accredited PR professional instructs each class, and candidates are provided with a structured process for learning the material and studying with each other. The course includes instructional classes, mock panel presentations, portfolio preparation, and formally evaluated panel presentations.

WHEN

The course officially begins March 2 and will proceed every Monday at 6 p.m. PT virtually through May 4, culminating with panel presentations on May 8.
