Overview

“Resources are hired to give results, not reasons.”

These days, if you can push yourself a bit and acquire an additional skill, you'll be ahead of the competition in the ongoing economic downturn. You must be relentless in your quest to upskill and reskill yourself.

Keeping that in mind, the skills and methods needed to capture and produce minutes during meetings properly are taught to learners in our minute-taking course. The course covers a range of topics, including how to listen and record accurately, how to structure and format minutes, and how to use technology to assist in the minute-taking process. By the end of the course, learners will be able to take clear and concise minutes at meetings and use them to facilitate follow-up and decision-making.

Here are a few important skills you will achieve from our course:

  • Understand the role and purpose of minute taking

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
