"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!! :)

City of Gold Coast

"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."

"Trainer was extremely knowledgeable and it was great to be part of the group. I think the trainer delivered the course in a clear, concise and engaging manner."

UQ
