About CommPR Academy

Shaping the future of communications and public relations professionals in Cyprus and beyond

Our Story

CommPR Academy was founded in 2018 with a clear mission: to bridge the gap between theoretical communication knowledge and practical professional application in the Mediterranean region.

Recognizing the unique communications challenges faced by organizations in Cyprus—a bridge between Europe, the Middle East, and Africa—our founders saw the need for specialized training that addresses these regional complexities while incorporating global best practices.

What began as a series of workshops for local PR professionals has evolved into a comprehensive academy offering professional certification programs that are recognized throughout the region and beyond.
