Minute Taking Masterclass - Course Overview

This Minute Taking training course in Bridgend (and Online) will enable delegates to take quick, accurate and most importantly relevant minutes saving your organisation time. Minute taking is a vital element of any board or staff meeting. Most employees at some time or another will be faced with the stressful task of taking minutes. With minute taking training your staff will be able to conduct themselves efficiently whilst being calm and composed. Once trained they will understand the correct methods to use regardless of the environment they are in.

We use a range of activities so delegates will have the opportunity to gain practical experience of taking minutes during the session. Delegates will be taught a step-by-step guide on the meeting taking process and their role within it as the minute taker (pre-meeting, the meeting, post meeting).

Minutes are a descriptive summary of the events that take place in a meeting. They highlight such things as key issues, discussion points, decisions decided, actions agreed upon, identifies who is responsible for those actions and states when those actions must be completed. However many minute takers make common errors such as excessive detail, ambiguous language and language that is open to misinterpretation.
