Overview

We offer In Company training at your offices. All you need is a suitable room, and we can bring your training to you.

Our Minute Taking course will push your Writing Skills skills to a new level.

We're really pleased with our new Minute Taking Made Easy course!

We take you through the role, the skills you need and how you can improve them. We show you how different styles of minutes suit different types of meetings, and what to do before, during and after a meeting.

There's lots of interactivity, with role play, questions, exercises, and discussion points.

There is also discussion of how to overcome some of the problems that arise in the role.

What's more, you get a workbook for your notes as you go along, and which you keep so you can refer back to it after the course.

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.
