43 new PR specialists with federal certificate of proficiency
A total of 55 candidates took this year's professional examination. Of these, 43 earned the federal certificate (30 from German-speaking Switzerland and 13 from French-speaking Switzerland), representing a pass rate of 78.2 percent.
At last week's graduation ceremony in Thun, examination supervisor Barbara Forster presented the newly qualified PR specialists with their federal certificates. In keeping with tradition, the best of each year were honored: Céline Rod achieved the highest grade of 5.3. Sophie-Anne Correvon and Samuel Balsiger each achieved 4.9.
The quality of this protected title is guaranteed by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI). With their degree, the new PR specialists have the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical skills to professionally plan and implement planned PR measures in companies, agencies and organizations.
The names of the 43 new PR specialists and pictures of the graduation ceremony are published on Pr-ex.ch.
