Minute Taking

Business Writing

H2 Training & Consultancy Ltd
Minute taking is an essential skill in the workplace today, and good quality minute taking is an asset in great demand. Many people struggle with minute taking simply because they have not been given the tools and confidence to do it. And yet, there is often pressure on the minute-taker to get it right - to produce a clear and concise document that serves as an official record.

This course will instruct delegates in a range of skills and techniques to enable them to take, to write up and to present minutes more effectively and confidently. No prior experience is necessary - we will give you the opportunity to practice your new skills, and we'll show you how to take the pain out of minute taking

It is particularly recommended for anyone required to take formal minutes or notes at meetings on behalf of their company - whether they are a beginner, or an 'old-hand' who would like to increase their confidence and skills.

"I am very pleased with the course I have attended. The standard and quality is much higher than our current in-house training. I hope that your company is used again "

"The trainer helped lots with confidence, which is a lot of my problem. Also gave me various options and ways of capturing info."

"The course met all my needs it gave good hints and tips that will improve my minutes."

"Being self-taught surprised me how much I already do correctly but I still picked up lots of good tips for minutes especially more formal meetings."
