First and foremost, what are minutes? Minutes provide a summary of the structure of a meeting. To guarantee that the meetings performed maximizes the expense involved and are productive, three elements are compulsory: a declaration of closure, an effective facilitator and accurate minutes.

In the end, if all individuals involved in the meeting cannot remember or come to an agreement on what essentially took place during the meeting, how will the team successfully carry out the objectives? Hence, the Minute-taker exists to accurately record the minutes of an informal or formal meeting. To develop the abilities and skills of a Minute-taker, you should consider enrolling into a Minute-taking training course.

The Minute-taking training course delivered by PD Training offers techniques to Minute-takers on how to efficiently record all the important information discussed. This training course teaches you how to keep track of the vital information discussed, ideas generated and planning steps presented.

This action packed day will include fun mock-meetings and activities run by one of our expert minute-taking trainers and is available now throughout Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur.

This Minute-taking training course can be delivered at your premises by one of our expert local or international trainers or live online using our HIVE technology.
