CRPC News from Jeff Nall, APR, CPRC, FPRA VP of Accreditation & Certification
Many CPRC eligible fence sitters have said, “I’ll do it when someone else does.” Well, here’s your chance!!!
In response to strong interest in sitting for the CPRC exam prior to Annual Conference, we have arranged two CPRC written testing dates for candidates from throughout the state on Saturday, June 27 and Saturday, July 18 from 9 a.m.–3 p.m. in Gainesville at the Florida Farm Bureau Federation, 5700 SW 34th Street, just off I-75. Many thanks to Rod Hemphill, APR, CPRC for making this opportunity available. He also may be able to arrange a reasonably good rate at a Gainesville hotel for those who prefer to spend the night prior to the exam. Please let me know if you are interested.
Candidates need to complete the application (found at www.fpratreasurecoast.com), return it (along with payment) to the State Office with their preferred date indicated on the application. There are 14 computer work stations at the facility. Seats will be assigned first come, first served. Space cannot be reserved until a completed application and payment are received. We will contact you regarding the availability of your preferred date.
The oral presentation will need to be arranged locally through chapter Accreditation and Certification Chairs. This is not part of what is being offered in Gainesville. Oral presentations for those doing the written test on June 27 will need to be done prior to the written testing date. Those doing the written test on July 18 will need to do their oral presentation by Friday, July 10. The CPRC video is posted on our blog at http://www.fprablog.com/.
