Why Study Minute Taking?

The responsibility of taking minutes is often assigned to an individual with little or no specialist knowledge of minute taking.  Consequently, minutes are taken more as something of a word-for-word transcription of what took place, rather than a concise and informative summary.  This is where the knowledge and skills of a professional minute taker can make all the difference.  To study minute taking is to learn how to make meetings more efficient, become a better listener and develop advanced interpersonal communication skills. It’s also to become an invaluable asset in the eyes of employers and decision makers, with a comparatively rare set of skills and competencies.  Even if you have been taking minutes for many years, this endorsed course could help with your continuous professional development.  Whether pursuing promotion or simply looking to broaden your horizons, this Level 5 Diploma in Minute Taking comes highly recommended.
