I took the APRP exam (pre-Universal Accreditation) in 1996 and received a $100 rebate from the Foundation when I passed the exam. The real benefit of taking the exam was the studying process that lead up to the exam. It solidified my understanding of good, ethical public relations practices and the importance of a well-written PR plan (RPIE). I appreciate the Foundation providing this opportunity to me so I could realize the value of the APR.
