Training is in small groups so that every individual gets one-to-one attention

Learning should be motivational, relevant and help delegates achieve their goals
Learning is more effective when it’s evaluated and supported on an on-going basis

Communicating with others is an integral part of life. While most exchanges are easy and successful, there are times when communication is misunderstood, and relationships are damaged.
Minute taking is a skill that everyone should learn. Taking minutes means effectively recording the key elements of a meeting, either verbatim or through summarising decisions and actions or creating a narrative.
From planning to coordinating resources, business management plays a role every step of the way. As business management bears such significance, only skilled individuals get the opportunity to become a part of this department.
