Effective minute taking is vital to successful meetings. The minute taker is responsible for producing a lasting written record of a meeting – making sure that discussions and decisions are properly noted. Whether taking minutes is something you need to do often, or very occasionally, being able to create clear, professional minutes is a crucial skill to have.
This course will familiarise you with the practice of minute taking. It takes you through necessary preparation before the meeting, provides note taking strategies to employ during the meeting and details the steps involved in producing the final minutes document.
