“APR Month is about removing barriers.”

These words from PRSA CEO and APR holder Matthew Marcial highlight the purpose behind APR Month 2026.

The journey to earning an APR is challenging, but through new and enhanced learning tools and expanded access to APR leaders, PRSA is helping make that path more structured and achievable.

• APR Virtual Study Course: Provides a more structured, accessible, and comprehensive learning experience, including strategic communication frameworks, guided exercises, and preparation tools aligned with both the Panel Presentation and APR Examination.

• Ask the APR Expert: Offers prospective candidates direct access to APR leaders and recently accredited professionals, helping demystify the process and provide practical insights.

Whether you’re just starting or already in the process, the journey comes with its challenges. APR Month 2026 is a great opportunity to take advantage of these new resources and keep moving forward.
