Overview

Whether we do it for ourselves or because we are asked by others, it is essential that we can create an accurate record of conversations and meetings that we are involved in. Knowing what to record, how to do it without missing critical decisions and information, and how to ensure actions and next steps are complete is an important skill. In this collection you will learn about preparation, short-cuts and tips for recording information as well as how to finalise the documentation and minutes.

This course will introduce you to a few simple yet brilliantly effective techniques to make minute taking quicker and easier. You will learn how to take control, ensure that the meeting is productive, and develop the confidence and competence to know that you’ve got everything covered.

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.

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.
