Minute Taking Training Course

5 / 24 reviews

Introduction

Learn how to produce accurate, effective minutes in a relaxed fashion.

Producing clear, easy-to-understand minutes is vital to an organisation’s decision-making processes. Without training, minutes may fall short of accurately reporting the meeting and the actions to be taken.

This practical one-day minute taking training course will lead you step-by-step through the process from meeting preparation, active listening and note-taking though to the final production of the minutes.

By the time you finish, you’ll be comfortable taking minutes for a variety of different types of meeting.

✔ A complete beginner’s course that covers all of the basics.
✔ Plenty of one to one attention and time to ask questions.
✔ Friendly expert trainers, small groups and a comfortable place to learn.
✔ All the materials and extras that you’ll ever need.

What Will I Learn?

By the end of this course, you will be confident taking minutes for a variety of different types of meetings.

This is achieved through practical minute taking exercises and, ideally, the use of real-life examples from your work.

If at all possible, please bring along copies of minutes you have previously produced or details of meetings which you will be taking minutes for (and if possible examples of previous minutes from these).

These examples will be used as the basis of the examples for the course.
