@Remmy
The Institute for now does not have any practical website. So all information about the institute could be gotten from the National secretariat or their various state offices.

Note that preparation for the next exams (june) is on, contact me if you are willing to partake in it.

I have gotten the web address of NIPR -
www. nipr-ng.org

If anyone needs study materials for the exams, contact me through 08058586158

NIPR regulates the activities of public relations in the country including certifying students to become members through their bi-annual exams.

To be a member, you have to sit for their examinations especially if you are not a graduate of Mass comm or marketing. These exams are written in May/June and Nov/Dec yearly.

For more information, visit the "frequently asked questions" section of this website - www.pes-ng.com or better still, fill the enquiry section concerning specific areas you will want to know about.
