After each semester, students are eligible for a National Certificate on that level. We recommend

Learning Outcomes

Communication: A PRO often has to deal with clients, advertising companies, the press and the public. Maintaining the value of the brand among such people require excellent communication skills.
Office practice: This subject will expose you to common and best practice in the office environment – everything you need to know to ensure that the offices run effectively and efficiently.
Public Relations: Public relations centres on how the PRO manages information about the company and how it is perceived in the public eye. Understanding marketing, perceptions, and how to liaise with the wide variety of people that make up “the public” is essential to your success.
