44 new PR specialists
A total of 55 candidates took this year’s professional examination. Of these, 44 earned the federal certificate (24 from German-speaking Switzerland and 20 from French-speaking Switzerland), representing a pass rate of 81.5 percent.
At last week's graduation ceremony in Thun, examination director Barbara Forster presented the 44 newly qualified PR specialists with their federal certificates. In keeping with tradition, the best students each year were honored: Karine Henchoz and Pauline Weber achieved the highest grade of 5.0, Ellen Brugger and Isabelle Koller scored 4.9, and Violaine Coard, Michèle Jöhr and Anna-Barbara Mertenat graduated with 4.8.
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.
