Overview

This Minute Taking course will enhance your ability to effectively take records of meetings and capture crucial points as required.

Meetings are important in many businesses, but often their effectiveness is lost in translation as the information discussed is not captured accurately or clearly communicated. If you are someone who is required to take formal, factual records of meetings and distribute points of action after such, this is the course for you! This course is popular among PAs and administrators as Minute Taking is a pivotal element of their role but it can also be suitable for any role within an organisation.

Attending this course will allow delegates confidence in their note taking abilities and will address challenges faced by delegates such as filtering information and applying best practice of minute taking in the context of their organisation’s needs.

The Minute Taking course focuses on drawing out key points and making relevant notes around the needs of stakeholders present in the meeting rather than relying on speed-writing. The course highlights on how best to compile clear and concise meeting notes that cover all key points effectively.

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.
