We encourage participation and questions throughout.

It is work noting, the trainers like to see you! They much prefer it if you have a camera on so they can see you as well as you being able to see them.

Yes. We provide everyone who completes one of our courses with a certificate of attendance.

 

Minute taking is like many skills. It’s difficult when you start but with practice becomes far easier.

The problem that many people have is that they’re not clear on what they’re trying to achieve.

So when learning the first task is to get clear on what you are trying to achieve – clear, useful minutes – and then taking minutes becomes more straightforward.

There are obviously a fair few other things involved but just that one step will make a big difference.

The simple rule is that all attendees for a meeting should receive the minutes.

In addition, a usual attendee who couldn’t attend for some reason should receive the minutes as the meeting will impact them when they attend in future.

Other people who you should consider sending minutes to will depend on the structure of the organisation that you work for.

Meeting minutes should allow someone not at the meeting to understand how the decisions made at the meeting were reached. 

This will obviously vary meeting to meeting.

Meetings discussing contentious matters will be more detailed than meetings where there was general agreement on the matters discussed.

Please call us if you would like to discuss this. 

If you are looking for a quick introduction to taking minutes then our half day workshop would be the best course for you.

If you are looking for a full course covering minute taking in detail then our one day minute taking course would be the best course for you.

If you are looking for training covering both minute taking and also running meetings better our effective meetings course would be the best course for you.
