One Day
Course
A successful meeting
is due not only
to the discussion
and decisions taken,
but also to accurate
taking of minutes
to show what has
taken place and
what action is required.
This course will
give delegates a
good understanding
of the purpose of
meetings. It will
also enable them
to take concise
minutes which will
be easy to read
back and form an
accurate record
of a meeting.
By the end of the
course, participants
should be able to
plan, organise and
manage a meeting,
demonstrate an understanding
of the function
of minutes, use
the skills of effective
minute-taking through
practical activities
and have the confidence
to interrupt when
clarity is required.
