Effective note and minute taking
It’s easy to underestimate the importance of well-taken notes or minutes. But they’re usually the basis for business-critical documents and communications – and the decisions that go with them.
Overview
It’s easy to underestimate the importance of well-taken notes or minutes. But they’re usually the basis for business-critical documents and communications – and the decisions that go with them.
This means it’s vital that minutes and notes capture key information and present it succinctly, clearly and accurately. Effective minutes and notes also make it easier and more efficient to create whatever comes next, whether that’s a report, article, email, company update or any other kind of communication.
This practical and interactive meeting-notes writing training will show your team best-practice techniques, including how to prepare for meetings, capture the points that matter and follow up to ensure they have every necessary detail.
Outcomes
By the end of their bespoke training, attendees will know how to:
- plan effectively for meetings to ensure they’re prepared
- understand their ultimate audience and objectives
- use best-practice techniques for taking notes or minutes efficiently
- identify the key information that needs capturing
- follow up as needed and ensure they don’t miss vital details
- use the active voice in notes, minutes and their write-up
- apply a consistent style to notes and minutes
- write notes and minutes that are easy to turn into reports, articles or updates.
As part of the training, you can choose to include our unique pre-course writing analysis for all attendees. The analysis covers 15 different areas of writing skills and helps us ensure the training meets attendees’ precise writing needs, focusing on weaker areas and allowing for rapid, targeted improvements in their own writing.

Our note and minute taking courses are ideal for any teams who have to write minutes or notes as part of their roles.
