Who is it for

Anyone who is required to take factual records of meetings.

What is it about

People frequently find themselves called upon to take minutes. Sometimes with very little training and support, they are expected to produce an accurate record of a meeting as if by magic.

Course Overview

This 75 minute session will highlight some useful pointers for taking effective minutes, such as the importance of developing good listening skills and the ability to note down and summarise large amounts of information. You will gain a greater understanding of the role of the minute taker and how you can make sure that you are effective. There will be also be an opportunity for you to undertake a practical exercise to try out your listening skills.

We recommend that you attend one of our Learn How to Learn Online sessions before attending this Virtual Classroom to ensure that you get the most out of the course. To book a free place, click here or contact us on 0800 170 7777.
