Minute taking is an integral factor in the success of a meeting – accurate meeting minutes should record what has taken place, decisions made and what actions are required. Minute taking can be daunting but with the right preparation minute taking can be handled with confidence.

You will gain the confidence and skills required to take accurate and concise minutes in suitable language for the audience. You will leave with a better understanding of your role and the confidence to manage the meeting more successfully and professionally.
