The concept of establishing an international public relations association first took concrete shape in November 1949 during a meeting in London between two Dutch and four British public relations practitioners. As they discussed their respective activities, the idea emerged of organising public relations professionals into a transnational society with the objective of raising standards of public relations practice in the various countries and improving the quality and efficiency of practitioners.

Makini College is the tertiary education and training arm of Makini School and it started its operations in 1997 at Kaboke House along State House Avenue – Nairobi. The college was running Marketing courses on a part-time basis with only five students.

In 2005, the college won 10 of the 15 highly coveted awards in the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM-UK) examinations. As a result, the college introduced new programs spanning the entire business related studies in the principal areas of Public Relations, Accounting, Purchasing and Supply, and Information Communications.
