The increasing demands of everyday PR practice and the sharper focus of clients and bodies such as the OGP on professional development in assessing potential providers highlights the need for continuous professional development. Last year’s RFT for the Framework for the Provision of PR /Communications for all Public-Sector Bodies stressed the importance of Professional Development. Indeed 10% of the overall marks in that process were awarded for the key individuals ongoing professional development. The OGP required that companies submit verifiable proof of attendance or certification of the ongoing professional development undertaken by the key individuals put forward.
It also looked for membership of a relevant professional body.
Supporting members in developing their professional practice is a objective of the PRII and our Spring calendar of workshops and certificate courses is well underway.
