Overview

This intensive 1 day, hands-on Minute Taking course helps you gain comprehensive, practical skills any successful minute taker needs to master.

No matter who you are or what you do, whether at work or in the community, you are likely involved in meetings. Meetings are costly, whether they are held in a company boardroom or at the local coffee shop. To ensure that meetings are productive and worth the expense involved, three ingredients are necessary: an assurance of closure, a strong chair or leader, and accurate minutes. It has been said that if accurate minutes have not been recorded, then the meeting may just as well not have taken place.

If people can’t remember or agree on what actually occurred at a meeting, how can the group effectively accomplish its objectives?

After this one-day Minute Taking workshop you will understand your role as a minute-taker and the best techniques for preparing and producing minutes.

Throughout the course you will be taken through a step-by-step approach to producing effective minutes, using templates to help you produce structured agendas and take notes effectively. Practical exercises will help you build confidence and put your own ideas into practice.

You can choose either our Classroom training at one of our venues or Live, Instructor-led Virtual training from the comfort of your home.

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.
