The first course will start on 13 March 2014.
“The uniqueness of this course is that our tutors are all fluent Spanish speakers who are PR qualified, work in the industry, and offer real-world up-to-date advice and guidance to students” said Ellen Gunning, director of the Irish Academy.
There is a hunger to learn how things are done in Europe and on an international stage. The Academy’s courses combine academic knowledge with European and American-based tutors who bring the theory to life.
“If you want to learn theory, you can study a book. If you want to acquire skills and learn how to practice professionally, you need advice, guidance and mentoring. Each student on our online course has their own personal tutor”, she added. On graduation, students join a world-wide alumnus of Academy PR professionals.
The public relations course is of benefit to people who run small to medium sized businesses and want to learn how to promote their products and services. Larger companies often enrol staff members to increase their skillsets, while individuals study the course to add new qualifications to their CV and enhance their employment prospects. The course is taught online over ten weeks. Participants complete one module per week and can enrol directly at irishacademy.com/us .
“On behalf of the World Trade Centre Montevideo, I am delighted to bring this prestigious course to Uruguay and Paraguay.
