FAQ
Here are some of the common questions we get asked about our Minute Writing Skills training course:
Who delivers your Minute Writing Skills training courses?
Our Minute Writing Skills courses are delivered by our friendly and highly experienced trainers. We live and breathe what we talk about in these sessions as we use most of the tools and techniques ourselves on a daily basis and bring this real-world experience into the session and the examples that we use.
What language is your Minute Writing Skills training course delivered in?
Our Minute Writing Skills course, along with all of our other courses, is delivered in English.
Are minutes still used?
Yes. Many organisations today still widely use Minutes to communicate the main points of meetings and agreed actions.
Can't I just record a meeting and type up the minutes afterwards?
Yes, but believe it or not, this takes more time as you have to watch the whole meeting back through again. Plus, there are some privacy issues around this. If minutes are taken well, they can be quickly reproduced into a document as you will have only captured the major points you needed.
Is there a practical element?
Yes. We've designed some activities so you can have a go at capturing minutes during the course
Do you have any Minute Writing Skills articles I can read?
Yes. We have lots of articles about Minute Writing Skills in the business writing section of our blog.
