The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) has appointed Bernard Carey FCIPR as its new Centre for Learning (CfL) Course Leader after an extensive recruitment process.

A current CfL trainer and CIPR Fellow, Bernard brings his vast experience to the post as a public relations professional of over 25 years and as an academic, having held posts as visiting lecturer at the University of Greenwich, the New University of Buckinghamshire, the University of Bedfordshire and the University of Hertfordshire.

Bernard’s first task as CfL Course Leader will be to work with the CIPR team and the trainers to make sure that both the CIPR Diploma in Public Relations and CIPR Crisis (Response) Diploma are in alignment with the developing criteria set by the Awarding Body. He will also be instrumental in working with the CIPR training team in ensuring it provides the best customer experience for all qualifications students.

Bernard Carey
In a fascinating period of rapid change and development in public relations practice and theory, I look forward to building on the excellent standard that the Centre for Learning offers to PR professionals. We have a highly skilled and experienced team of tutors and management to deliver the courses and a first rate facility at Russell Square.
