Where should we send your report?

We email you a link to confirm. Your report opens after you click it.

How we use your details: only to send this report and, if you ticked the box, tips about training. You can unsubscribe or delete your data from any email. For people aged 18 and over. Privacy notice version 2026-10-16.

This is a self-check, not an exam or a certificate.

Why check this now?

Find your gaps before an audit or a review does.

Reputation is built in many small exchanges with investors, regulators, agencies and staff, and lost when those exchanges are unplanned. Planned PR programmes with clear policy, budget and evaluation keep every audience informed and confident in the organisation.

What does the assessment ask?

Rate each statement from Not yet to Always. These are the statements, by area.

Stakeholder relations

  1. We have a stakeholder map showing each group's interest, influence and the owner of the relationship.
  2. Each key stakeholder group has a communication plan with messages, channels and timing.
  3. I record significant stakeholder contacts and follow up on commitments made.

Change and international communication

  1. When the organisation goes through a major change, I prepare a communication plan before it is announced.
  2. Key messages are agreed with management so that every spokesperson says the same thing.
  3. For overseas audiences, I adapt messages to local language, culture and time zones.

Public affairs and government relations

  1. I track policy and regulatory developments that could affect our organisation.
  2. We know which ministries, agencies and officials are relevant to us and keep contacts current.
  3. Our dealings with government officials follow our anti-bribery procedures, including on gifts and hospitality.
  4. Our position on public issues is approved by management before it is shared.

Internal communication

  1. We have an internal communication policy covering channels, approvals and tone.
  2. I plan internal communication programmes for the year, linked to business priorities.
  3. Staff hear important news from us before they read it outside.
  4. I measure whether internal messages reached and were understood by staff, using surveys or feedback.
  5. I prepare a report on internal communication results with improvements for the next cycle.

How is my score worked out?

You rate each statement from Not yet (0) to Always (3). Your score is the percentage of the maximum points, and your lowest scoring section shows which course to look at first.

Does a high score mean I am certified?

No. This is a self-check of your current practice, not part of the Certifyd Public Relations Manager assessment. The certification is earned by completing its core courses and assessment.

Who is this Readiness Check for?

PR managers, corporate communication executives and public affairs staff who manage stakeholder, government or internal communication in Malaysia.

Is the Public Relations Readiness Check free?

Yes. You can answer every statement and see your readiness band without signing up. Your email is asked for only if you want the detailed report and the PDF checklist.

Do you store my answers?

Not until you ask for your report. Until then your answers stay in this browser. After you confirm your email, they are kept with your report and you can delete them from any email we send.

What happens after the assessment?

Your report recommends one next step: the core course for your weakest area, or the full certification when you are ready.
