>Universal Accreditation Launches Online Study Course
>
>NEW YORK CITY (January 8, 1999) -- The Universal Accreditation Board, which
>oversees the premier program for accrediting public relations
>professionals, has developed an online, 12 session study course to assist
>participating organizations in preparing candidates for the Accredited in
>Public Relations (APR) examination.
> The online Accreditation Review Study Course was developed in
>response to requests for a standardized study process. The website is
>exclusively for use by Accreditation chairs and their prep course leaders
>in preparing candidates for taking the APR examination.
> "During the past decade, we have taken many steps to bring all
>aspects of the Accreditation examination fully into line with the best
>practices in professional testing and certification. The introduction of
>this standardized preparation program is a capstone event in this ongoing
>process, and opens new doors for future enhancements to the Universal
>Accreditation process," said David Kirk, APR, Fellow PRSA, chair of the
>committee formed two years ago to design the online study course.
> The format was derived from a highly successful APR prep course
>designed by Ferne Bonomi, APR, Fellow PRSA, and taught at the Central Iowa
>Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America for 15 years.
> The curriculum is available now as a study source for the spring
>Accreditation examination, March 12-21, 1999. The website is password
>protected and information on how to access it has been forwarded to
>Accreditation chairs. Chairs unable to access the website will have a hard
>copy included in the forthcoming 1999 Universal Accreditation Testing
>Procedure Handbook.
> The Universal Accreditation program creates a professional standard
>for public relations and seeks to unify and advance the profession by
>identifying those who have demonstrated broad knowledge, experience and
>professional judgment in the field.
