The new exam from the Universal Accreditation Board (UAB) is here! PRSA National has posted a Frequently Asked Questions page about the new exam, and a new application has been developed.
Maintenance
Most APRs have to renew their accreditation every three years. A copy also goes to the chapter accreditation chairs. Re-accreditation is based on activities and requires no testing.
To maintain your accreditation, you need to accumulate a minimum of 10 points within our specified three-year period in any of the following areas: continuing education, professionalism or public service. To view a list of activities and programs that count toward points, please review the APR maintenance application form. Chapter programs earn 1/2 point toward accrediation maintenance. Winning Mercury or Merit awards earn two points toward accreditation maintenance.
