Why should I become accredited?

The ABC designation behind your name says that you have successfully met a global standard in organizational communication. You have a specific level of education and experience as a communicator or public relations practitioner. Your work has demonstrated that you can think strategically, establish meaningful goals and objectives, and measure your success. Your work has been reviewed by your peers and has successfully stood the test that demonstrates you have a well-rounded, problem-solving approach.

IABC’s biennial survey of the profession, Profile, shows that accredited members’ average salary is significantly higher than that of non-accredited members.

Earn your ABC in three steps: application, portfolio of work, and a written and oral examination.
