New minute taking course for staff

The Learning and Development Team is pleased to announce that there are spaces on a Minute Taking course provided by Jarrold Training.

Minute Taking is an essential part of the meeting process and, in many cases, a legal requirement. Whether you are conducting online meetings or face to face meetings, the recording of information and capturing thoughts, ideas, decisions and actions is extremely important yet it should also be an easy process - so we show you how.

You will learn in a relaxed environment with a small group of people. A specialist tutor will guide and encourage you through all the learning necessary to develop your skills and questions are always welcome.
