"I am grateful. Raja is a jovial and humorous trainer and I have learnt a lot from him in a day. The course was short but it fulfilled my requirements adequately." Thomas Lim - PA/Office Manager, Ipac Financial Planning Singapore Pte Ltd
 

Efficient Minutes Writing

Everyone has to write minutes of meetings, if not sooner, then later.  However there is good news: It is a simple skill that can be learned in one day of systematic step-by-step instruction.

Through my years of working in executive and managerial positions, and as a trainer, I have written minutes hundreds of times, and taught hundreds of courses on how to write them. My students include those in Diploma Level courses in PSB Academy and MDIS, in HDB and other government departments and private companies.

I know I can teach you how to write minutes in a single day.

Bonus Value: What is more: I will be available to help you vet through the minutes of meetings you have written for three (3) months after the course. This is service is free of course.
