On the other hand, public affairs for companies, associations, foundations and trade unions needs a lot of applicable knowledge about methods and instruments of interest representation + political communication, general management processes and leadership. The Certified Public Affairs Leader, as a public affairs further education, brings all this to the point in four presence phases in an application-oriented manner in order to professionalize you in your daily practice in action and on paper as a certification.
