Our online training is designed to re-create the classroom chairing meetings training experience as closely as possible.

It is a live training session using Zoom or Microsoft Teams and the trainer is there throughout.

If you have a question we would encourage you to ask it as you go along, as you would in a class.

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.

We don’t want to be the biggest training company but we are trying to be the best.

We have now won the Feefo Gold Award for customer service for 7 years in a row.

We always limit our chairing meetings training classes to a maximum of 8 delegates but try to keep them smaller.

During 2020 our average class size was 4 people.

To back up our promise of great training we offer a 100% money-back guarantee.

Meetings represent a significant investment of time and company resources.

A chairperson is responsible for ensuring that a meeting is run efficiently and effectively to achieve its aims.

A good chairperson will manage the entire process from distributing an agenda before the meeting to ensure that everyone who attends knows what is to be discussed, through to distributing minutes after the meeting with agreed action items to ensure that decisions are followed through on.

A good chairperson will bring a great deal of value to a workplace.

Please come wearing whatever you are most comfortable in.

We do not have a dress code for our courses.

Effective meetings allow for efficient information sharing, discussion, and decision-making.

If you chair meetings where you struggle to keep them on time and on topic then this training would be helpful for you.

Chairing meetings well is a learned skill and increasingly important as you progress through your career.

Learning to facilitate an open and honest discussion before guiding a group to a decision isn’t straightforward.

The skills required to do this are often acquired over a lifetime of work. Hence chairpeople often being some of the most senior employees in the room at a meeting.

We offer two standard training courses: One day and Half day.

If you will be chairing meetings occasionally then the half-day efficient meetings course will give you a great grounding. However, inevitably it can only cover the key items.

If you will be chairing meetings frequently, or those meetings will be contentious, we recommend our full one-day training course. This covers the entire process in detail and gives you the best grounding possible.
