It may be considered by people interested in foundational public relations and workplace communication, subject to confirming that the qualification is still available and suitable for their circumstances.

How this qualification may support career preparation

The qualification is mapped to roles such as Account Clerk (Public Relations / Communication) and Advertising and Public Relations Manager.
