Minutes Made Easy
One-day training course
Dates just being set
Anyone can be called on to take minutes and most people get ‘thrown in the deep end’. It is a skill that many assume a secretary or administrator has, but this is often not the case as even secretarial colleges seldom teach this useful skill. Many committees do not have the luxury of having a someone to take notes, so the task falls to a member of the group. . This course gives delegates the skills and confidence to take relevant notes and to present them as useful minutes
.

If you have more than six who would benefit from the training (maximum of 12), an in-house course is the most cost-effective way of developing skills. The content can be the changed to suit the needs of your staff if you wish. We bring everything except the furniture,video/TV, flipchart and coffee.
