Overview
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.
