An apprenticeship has been my best decision to date where I have developed both personally and professionally. I have been given responsibilities that I would not have otherwise known I was capable of, as well as gained confidence in interacting with clients and colleagues. Couldn’t recommend enough!

I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities I’ve been able to take on and the knowledge I’ve built from my role at Champion and through the apprenticeship scheme. The apprenticeship has challenged me, but also enabled me to grow into my role and become a key person on some amazing accounts and campaigns. I can’t wait to progress further in my career!

My apprenticeship with the PRCA was a challenging but rewarding experience. There is a lot of work that goes into the diploma, but this is because it teaches you so much. Although I don’t think I will pursue a career in Public Relations, I have taken away many skills that I can apply in my new role and the future. Thank you to everyone involved.

My apprenticeship has given me the opportunity to become a recognised professional in an area of expertise that I am passionate about whilst also receiving full pay and support from my employer. I’ve made far more valuable connections and progressed a lot further professionally completing the PRCA apprenticeship than I would have done in a full-time educational setting. It was a bit of a balancing act, but well worth the hard work – I still can’t believe I got a distinction! https://www.prca.org.uk/LucySalvageFactFile

Within my apprenticeship role, I had the opportunity to be hands-on in all elements of the exciting and fast-paced business, from press releases to face-to-face client proposal meetings.

If you're considering undertaking an apprenticeship with the PRCA, I would implore you to take the leap and to do it. Not only do you earn two PR qualifications from the course, you also learn the vital skills and knowledge that are needed to pursue a career within the PR/comms industry. Everyone at the PRCA is extremely helpful, so don't be afraid, take the leap, you won't regret it.

The apprenticeship has given me a range of opportunities and experiences which I never would have been offered had I gone onto university. I have gained valuable skills that simply cannot be taught from a textbook. The apprenticeship has boosted my self-confidence and has provided me with the professional skills needed for a successful career in PR. https://www.prca.org.uk/MollyFennemoreNAW2021 & https://www.prca.org.uk/MollyFennemoreLessons & https://www.prca.org.uk/MollyFennemoreFactFile
