Minute Taking Skills Training

Producing accurate minutes every time

What is this Minute Taking Skills Training about?

This Minute taking skills training course is about producing accurate, easy to understand minutes that are vital to an organisation’s decision making process. Without training, minutes may be too scanty or too comprehensive, unclear and disjointed, or fall short of accurately reporting the meeting and the actions to be taken. Participants will get the opportunity to practice note taking, writing and setting out minutes.
