The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR)

The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) is the world’s only Chartered professional body for public relations professionals. It supports PR and communications practitioners, agencies and organisations through professional development, training, qualifications, networking and professional standards.

Members have access to continuing professional development (CPD), training courses, qualifications, industry resources, mentoring opportunities, professional guidance, business support services and networking groups. Membership also includes access to resources, webinars, publications and discounted learning opportunities.

The CIPR’s professional development framework supports members in developing their skills and working towards Accredited and Chartered status.

Non-members can also access selected training courses, qualifications and events, usually on a paid basis. This support can help businesses and organisations strengthen communications capability and develop the skills of PR and communications staff.
