Minute Taking Professional - Course Overview
Clear, concise minutes are essential to effective meetings - they drive actions, track decisions, and provide an accurate record of discussions. This one-day Minute Taking Professional course is designed to equip attendees with the core skills of traditional minute taking while also introducing innovative ways artificial intelligence (AI) can support and streamline the process. Participants will learn how to prepare for meetings, identify key points vs unnecessary detail, and structure minutes to suit different audiences. You will practise live minute-taking techniques in various meeting formats (e.g. formal, informal, hybrid) and discover how to stay focused and accurate under pressure.
In addition to these core skills, the course explores how AI tools such as transcription services, summarisation software, and speech-to-text apps can assist with drafting, checking, and formatting meeting notes. You will gain confidence in balancing human judgment with AI efficiency - ensuring your minutes remain accurate, consistent, and professional. Interactive, practical, and future-focused, this training is ideal for modern administrative professionals who want to elevate their role and embrace smart tools for better outcomes.
