I enrolled in the Public Relations and Communications course at Stanmore School of Business looking to enhance my skills in corporate communications. The course provided a thorough overview of PR principles, including research, planning, and implementation. I found the module on stakeholder engagement particularly useful, as it taught me how to identify, analyze, and prioritize stakeholders. The course materials were comprehensive, with a range of resources, including e-books, articles, and videos. One aspect that could be improved is the addition of more African case studies, as the course content was somewhat biased towards Western examples. Nonetheless, I gained a deeper understanding of PR concepts and practices, which I can apply to my work in corporate communications. The instructor was knowledgeable, and the support team was responsive and helpful.
