I was surprised with how quickly I felt like part of the team. The great thing about being on an apprenticeship is that your employer is signing up to help you progress. My colleagues have supported me to get hands-on straight away and learn something new every day. To me, this apprenticeship means a wide-open horizon for my future. https://www.prca.org.uk/NaomiBennettNAW2021

My apprenticeship has helped me flourish in my interpersonal skills, developing relationships with a range of people who work in different roles to me. I have also been able to develop my understanding for writing for different audiences and how to effectively target the specific audience. I am both understanding the theory behind PR and communications, as well as being able to use the theory in real life situations. https://www.prca.org.uk/GeorgiaCantrillNAW2021

This apprenticeship has already taught me so much in such a short space of time, and I am really looking forward to continuing my journey and pursing the career that I have always wanted.

I would wholeheartedly recommend an apprenticeship for someone who is looking to launch themselves into a career in PR. The nature of my work has exceeded my expectations, I’ve been fortunate enough to attend industry events and as somebody who loves history, I feel privileged that I am able to work in, and write about six of the most important palaces in the UK. https://www.prca.org.uk/RosieMoffat

For those considering this apprenticeship, PR is for people who thrive on analysis and strategic thinking, those with a creative personality, a curious nature and (most importantly for me) those who want to change perspectives with the power of communication. https://www.prca.org.uk/The-Apprentice-2

My apprenticeship really supported my on the job training as I was able to implement new techniques I learnt through the coursework into my role. Additionally, it has helped me to develop professional skills such as negotiating and selling into the media. I have been offered a permanent role and I am excited to continue to work for a company that is at the height of film ingenuity. https://www.prca.org.uk/AmySpringett

I am glad that I chose the apprenticeship route over going to university as it allows me to gain experience whilst earning a qualification (and money)! Not only am I learning the theory behind PR, but I am also working with clients at the same time, putting that theory into practice. Day to day, my job changes; no two days are ever the same.https://www.prca.org.uk/MollyProut

The gravitas of the course was proven when I was looking for my next career move, as all of the agencies I interviewed with mentioned that having the higher diploma and invaluable experience had made me stand out. I would recommend to anyone looking for a way into the PR world or even a step up from a more junior role, to consider the PR & Communications apprenticeship through the PRCA! https://www.prca.org.uk/LaurenAmbroseApprentice
