    The Minute Taker’s Workshop complete with certificate

    No matter who you are or what you do, whether at work or in the community, you are likely involved in meetings. Meetings are costly, whether they are held in a company boardroom or at the local coffee shop. To ensure that meetings are productive and worth the expense involved, three ingredients are necessary: an assurance of closure, a strong chair or leader, and accurate minutes. It has been said that if accurate minutes have not been recorded, then the meeting may just as well not have taken place. If people can’t remember or agree on what actually occurred at a meeting, how can the group effectively accomplish its objectives? After this course you will understand your role as a minute-taker and the best techniques for producing minutes that include all the essential information needed.

    Learning Outcomes

    • Recognise the importance of minute-taking.
    • Develop key minute-taking skills, including listening skills, critical thinking, and organisation.

    The Practical Trainer

    Original price was: £20.00.Current price is: £9.47. + VAT

    The Practical Trainer complete with certificate

    Most people who call themselves trainers today probably didn’t start out to be trainers. They often work in a field where they develop extensive knowledge and then are asked to share what they know. Many trainers have some experience with teaching, writing, or leadership, although they come from nearly every field. As such, people who work as trainers are often put into difficult situations without much understanding of what training is or how to do it well. We know that being a good trainer is the result of developing skills to bring information to an audience. This information will then engage, empower, and encourage continued learning and development. This course will give you the skills that you need so that your students not only learn, but also enjoy the process, retain information shared, and use their new skills back in the workplace.

    Learning Outcomes

    • Recognise the importance of considering the participants and their training needs, including the different learning styles and adult learning principles.
    • Know how to write objectives and evaluate whether these objectives have been met at the end of a training session.
    • Develop an effective training style, using appropriate training aids and techniques.
    • Conduct a short group training session that incorporates these training concepts.
