Recommended as a face-to-face course delivered one-to-one. The attendee can provide specific examples of minutes and tasks before the course date so that we can go through the questions in our session.
Virteffic would review your in-house minute templates and meeting and minute policies and procedures before tailoring a course that is suitable for your requirements. We would also provide useful checklists and templates.

How Virteffic can help with your training needs
Our courses can help you train your new colleagues, enhance the skillsets of your established employees, and reinforce procedures specific to your company.
Virteffic Limited has a team of qualified chartered secretaries and experienced individuals. Together, we develop training courses that touch on the statutory requirements (in Jersey, Guernsey, UK or the Cayman Islands) whilst also giving useful “Tips and Tricks” and guidance through your in-house policies, procedures and precedents. You choose how the course is to be delivered, and whichever option you choose, we make sure it is interactive and easily absorbed.
We can offer a bespoke solution to fit your needs. Please complete our simple request form to provide us with the below details we need to provide a fixed fee proposal. The number of sessions and the length of sessions will depend on what you want the course to cover.
How does it work?
Your organization can benefit from custom in-house training sessions tailored to your specific needs. Practical knowledge and skills are applied to real-life situations.
Our bespoke training courses are suitable to support:
- Secretarial officers, governance administrators, and anyone who is responsible for coordinating meetings and taking minutes for companies or committees.
- Directors or anyone on the path of becoming a director.
It is helpful to receive further information about the attendee(s) to tailor the training plan accordingly. We recommend that separate group training sessions be held for each level where possible, as the training delivered to someone with no experience would be very different from someone who is receiving training at the board level.
The training can be delivered face-to-face or virtually via Teams. We can also set up online training sessions with quiz functions (minimum 2 months’ notice required).
