AI-Assisted Minute Taking Training — The Human Skills That Make AI Work
AI transcription tools are being rolled out faster than the skills to use them properly — and a minute-taker who doesn't know what to check, edit or discard ends up with minutes that look polished but aren't accurate.
This programme combines strong minute-taking fundamentals with practical AI tool skills, so every delegate can produce accurate, action-focused minutes whether they're using AI on the day or not.

AI Can Record the Meeting. It Cannot Take Responsibility for the Minutes.
AI transcription and summary tools are being switched on across organisations, often with little guidance on how to use them. The output looks polished, but it can contain hallucinations, misattributed comments and missed decisions. An inaccurate record of a meeting causes real problems when actions are disputed or decisions are challenged later.
The person responsible for the minutes still needs to know what to check, edit and discard, and must understand the GDPR and consent issues that come with recording. This programme combines sound minute taking fundamentals with practical AI skills, so accurate, action-focused minutes are produced whether or not AI is used on the day.
Half-Day Skills Session vs Full-Day Programme
Both formats deliver real, immediate improvement in AI-assisted minute taking. The difference is the depth of practice, the legal and compliance content covered and how thoroughly the prompting framework is embedded.
| Half-Day Session | Full-Day Programme | |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning | Core foundations, key AI tools and the CTAFT prompting framework | Full programme — extended practice, legal considerations, quality control and personal workflow development |
| Duration | 3–3.5 hours | 6–7 hours |
| Best For | Teams already using AI tools who need structure and quality control | Organisations investing in a consistent, professional AI-assisted minute taking capability |
| Tools Covered | Teams Copilot, Otter.ai, Fireflies — core prompting and editing | Full range of tools, extended CTAFT practice, legal awareness and personal prompt library |
| Practice Volume | Structured hands-on tasks with real meeting scenarios | Extended practice including live meeting simulation and full transcript editing workflow |
| Investment | Lower — efficient for busy teams | Premium — stronger embedding and more confident, capable AI minute takers |
