Free Online Course: Public Relations from OHSC

Oxford Home Study Center offers a free online course in Public Relations.

Course Overview:

Public opinion is the single most powerful and influential factor in determining whether or not any business or organisation will succeed. The same is true across private and public sectors alike – public opinion having the power to make or break a brand in record time. Just as strong public opinion can propel a business to success in an instant, a poor reputation can have the exact opposite effect. The Internet has made constant and aggressive reputation management more important than ever before - a process orchestrated and managed by PR professionals.

As a profession, public relations is challenging, rewarding and fulfilling equal measures. Along with practical experience and a very specific set of character traits, it takes a strong educational foundation upon which to build a life-long career in PR. Ideally suited to those looking to join the industry at an entry-level or continue studying at a much higher level, this free course introduces the basics of both the concept of PR and the profession itself.

Course Content:

This free public relations course covers the following topics:

1. Introduction to Public Relations
