• Minute Taking

  Minute Taking is a key skill and is often far more involved than is given credit. Many people embark on this with little or no training.

  
  Minutes are of vital importance to a meeting. They summarise the discussion, record action points and confirm decisions made. However, if this is not done correctly, they are of little or no use as a record for the meeting.

  
  Undertaking our Minute Course will ensure you know what to listen for, how to note it and how to turn notes into a set of Minutes.
