Minute and note taking

Accurate records of all those meetings

This intensive one-day programme will enable delegates to considerably improve their minute and note taking skills, whether they are new to note taking or wish to improve their existing performance. Using an action-learning approach, the course involves a simulated meeting in the afternoon at which delegates will need to take notes to practise the techniques they have learned and transcribe these into a full set of minutes on which they will receive feedback.

A course manual and handouts will be given, although delegates may also wish to take notes.
