Frequently asked questions about Minute-taking: efficient and results-oriented in-company

Where does the in-company Minute-taking: efficient and results-oriented course take place?

Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.

Can the content be tailored to our organisation?

Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.

How large can the group be?

That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.

What does Minute-taking: efficient and results-oriented in-company cost?

You get a fixed price for the whole group, in a tailored quotation. For a group this works out cheaper than registering everyone individually. For comparison: a place on the scheduled course costs EUR 625,- excl. VAT per participant.

Can the course be delivered in English?

Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.

Do participants receive a certificate?

Yes, every participant receives a certificate of attendance afterwards.

How do I request a quote?

Via the quote form: state the course, the number of participants and roughly where and when you would like it. An adviser will then contact you.

Do you need prior knowledge to take the Minute-taking course?
No, you do not need any prior knowledge for the Minute-taking: efficient and results-oriented course. The course is suitable for anyone who will be taking minutes for the first time shortly, already takes minutes but would like some tips, or wants to improve the presentation of their minutes. During the course you will learn to separate main points from side issues, set up a clear structure and quickly work up your notes into a clear report.
Who is the Minute-taking course suitable for?
The Minute-taking course is suitable for anyone who will soon be taking minutes, who already has experience but wants to sharpen their technique, or who wants to improve the presentation of their minutes. No prior knowledge is required. Think of secretaries, management assistants, project staff and board members. During the training course you learn to separate the essentials from the side issues and to turn notes into a clear report.
Which techniques do you learn during the Minute-taking course?
During the Minute-taking course you learn various techniques for capturing the main thread of a meeting. Think of selective and active listening, separating main points from side issues, making clear notes and quickly working these up into a clear report. You also practise drawing up an action list and writing in an engaging way. The course lasts
Do you receive a certificate after the Minute-taking course?
Yes, on completion of the Minute-Taking course you receive a certificate of participation from Learnit. This certificate confirms that you have successfully completed the classroom course. You can add it to your LinkedIn profile or CV to demonstrate that you have the skills to take minutes efficiently and in a results-oriented way during meetings.
Can you also take the Minute-taking course in-company or tailored to your needs?
Yes, the Minute-taking course can also be delivered in-company. Beforehand, an individual intake takes place in which your learning objectives are identified. The final programme is determined on that basis, tailored to the prior knowledge, practical experience and wishes of the participants. In this way the course fits in perfectly with the meeting culture and minute-taking style within your own organisation.
What is the difference between this classroom Minute-taking course and an online course or e-learning on minute-taking?
The Minute Taking course at Learnit is classroom-based, lasts The biggest difference with an e-learning lies in the practice: you work with audio material and realistic meeting fragments, you receive immediate feedback from the trainer and you exchange experiences with other participants. That makes distinguishing the essentials from the side issues a skill you actively experience, rather than merely read about. An e-learning is suitable if you want to work through the theory at your own pace. The classroom course is a better fit if you want to practise selective listening, sharpen your notes and receive feedback on your own reports. You leave after with concrete techniques, a workable structure for minutes and more confidence to start taking minutes straight away in your next meeting.
How do I know whether this Minute Taking course is right for me, or whether I would be better off choosing a writing skills course?
Choose the Minute Taking course if you have to summarise meetings and want to get a grip on that: separating main points from side issues, choosing a workable structure, drawing up an action list and writing up your notes quickly. The course is classroom-based. You practise with audio material and exchange experiences, so you get immediate feedback on your own way of taking notes. Is your main concern clear writing outside of meetings, such as reports, e-mails and policy documents? Then a writing skills course is a better fit. The Minute Taking course does cover writing (writing clearly and engagingly), but always linked to recording what was said and agreed in a meeting. Not sure? The intake beforehand helps determine whether your learning objectives match.
How soon after the Minute-taking course can I apply the techniques in practice during a real meeting?
The Minute-taking course is set up in a practical way, so that you can apply the techniques immediately after the course. During the course you practise with audio material and realistic meeting situations, so that you already have a grasp of separating main points from side issues and working with a fixed minutes structure before you go home. For your next meeting you can get started straight away with the preparation checklist provided, the structure for decision and action lists, and the write-up techniques. Expect the write-up to still take some time during the first two or three meetings while you get the working method under your belt. After that, most participants notice that they take notes faster, select more purposefully and produce clearer reports. The costs are.
