The PD Training Minute Taking Training course will enable you to understand the important role of a minute-taker as well as efficiently recording all the important information discussed. Learn key skills like deciding what should be recorded, active listening, how to create drafts and reports, organisational skills and much more.
Both formal and informal meetings are taking place every day in any organisation, but who is taking and recording the minutes from these meetings? Are accurate records of key business decisions being recorded?
Who were the key decision makers? Does anyone know what happened in the meeting and what decisions were made and carried? What ideas were discussed and motioned? Are your business units effectively implementing decisions made after the meeting?
You will learn about your own personality type as well as other personality types and how to engage others in an entirely new way that provides a path to better communication and improved minute-taking skills.
PD Training can provide a complete professional development program for your organisation which includes personality profiling and automated training needs analysis, so contact us today to learn more!
This action packed day will include fun mock-meetings and activities run by one of our expert minute-taking trainers and is now available throughout Australia, including Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth.

"I've learned that whenever you take minutes it is not like writing a script but only keywords. What are the responsibilities of a minute taker. How to be more confident and be a good listener."
-SkillsTech Australia
"I liked that Louise got us to work out how much a meeting actually can cost a company. It gave me a whole new perspective on Meetings and the importance of getting them right! Louise shared apps and Youtube clips to watch to reinforce out training. I loved her "Car Park" idea. A tool which I will definitely utilise."
"The Trainer addressed our individual needs first which gave her time then to go through the manual. I thoroughly enjoyed the delivery of the minute taking course. The Trainer used different methods to keep the class attentive and focused. Thank you for a helpful day."
-Bega Garnbirringu Health Services
"Anne was a wonderful trainer. She made the environment very relaxed and easy to learn in. She had good, solid examples of each the types of minutes for different meetings. Very insightful. Personally, I benefited from her examples of how to truncate/tighten my minutes. She did not make me feel as if I was a crap minute-taker. She said that it was my personality/style to be as detailed as I am."
-Sydney Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine
-Family and Community Services - Aboriginal Housing Office
"The Trainer was fantastic- I didn't realise minute taking was so involved, however she explained all steps of the process and how factors such as personality are relevant to the process."
-Department of Aboriginal Affairs
"This minute writing course affirmed that my current techniques and approach is on the right track. The most important thing I've learnt is understanding the big picture of what is discussed and to sum it all up noting actions and deadline."
-Hope Community Services Inc.
"The course was useful and informative. The trainer was good at accommodating the different levels of experience of attendees and I learned some useful tactics."
"Loved how the trainer included everybody in the group/asking questions to all - put me out of my comfort zone and was able to participate fully in the class."
-National Native Title Tribunal
"I was fortunate to have a One on One half day session for the Minute taking course. Jen structured the course to suit my needs and learning requirements. She also went above and beyond to provide me with her own experiences to share what she hasn't learnt. Surprised myself with how I much I already knew but also how quickly I could relate new skills to future roles. Thanks very much Jen. Would love to attend more courses with Jen and look forward to attend the course again in the next few months to recap."
-Civil Aviation Safety Authority
"The course and the trainer were great, I wish I did this training in my early days of Business Administration, a lot of the content was something I had learnt myself and when I completed my Business certificates III & IV, however a proper training course will help me better my learning career as there is always room for improvement. I have taken away a lot of strategies and tips from this course. I guess for me, it'll be implemented in future employment opportunities as there was a lot more formal content, however the trainer helped me with listening strategies to pay more attention to the speaker and not to lose focus which is a huge thing for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and stayed on track all day, learnt a lot about myself as an employee too!! Thank you so much!! :)
-Individual Course Participant
"Interesting delivery for Minute taking. Never thought about the 'personality' aspect influencing the type/quality/delivery of Minutes before, so that was fascinating for me. Better dynamics with the tables and good to work in groups with different people for bouncing ideas and brainstorming. Theory based learning was also well presented. Kate knows her stuff. Thank you." "Have found the different approach to minute-taking refreshing and innovative. I have done another course at AIM many years ago and it did not touch on any psychological factors or offer alternatives for different styles as this one has. Kate is an engaging presenter and has done a stellar job of bringing together the group from very different work environments to one platform for learning. She has endeavoured to involve all members of the group to openly participate."
