Overview

Do you spend half of your life attending meetings and consider them to be a complete waste of valuable time? Do they lack direction, co-ordination, structure and focus? An effective meeting should leave attendees energised, inspired, with a feeling that they have really accomplished something tangible. This 1 day course will give you the necessary skills, methods and techniques to effectively chair, run, plan and organise a meeting in the most productive and inspiring way possible.

    performance.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
