  • LCT is a very good place to learn. Thanks.

  • Truly fascinating and a decent beginning stage for expanding my comprehension and learning. Simple to access whenever, modules were pleasant and short so great blasts of data and straightforward. I feel that I have picked up information that I can take forward inside my present calling and apply my insight to get the most ideal outcomes for my association in all types of media. Would prescribe this course for anybody.

Enhance your organisation's profile internationally with this Strategic Public Relations, Protocol and Travel Management Course, imparted by London Corporate Training.

This programme is designed for both executives new to the role and mid-level executives who want to build on their existing knowledge of working in this area of PR. Week one of this course introduces PR as a discipline distinct from marketing and advertising with its unique role to play in business and government.

Training consultants also discuss how PR strategies need to relate to the modern international media landscape characterised by the internet, mobile technology, and social media. In order for stories to have an impact on the news, it is necessary to understand the basis of what makes a good story and how to write for media, as well as assessing target markets effectively so that messages are delivered to the right audience.

Increasingly, Public Relations departments are undertaking the duties of protocol and travel management as part of corporate PR strategy. The lessons in week two of this course therefore examine how to develop successful strategic planning for overseas travel, from obtaining visas and organising accommodation to meeting and receiving international VIPs.

Finally, the schedule analyses how Protocol and Travel responsibilities should be integrated into an overall PR programme as well as techniques for the successful planning of exhibitions, conferences, visits and events. Discussions also cover effective planning of domestic travel arrangements.

If you want to be part of this training, please ask for further information to the centre through emagister.co.uk. You won’t regret it!
