Download a template or sample minutes and discuss the structure, layout and recording of them.
Students should set up a template that could be used for the next activity.
This role-play requires preparation and attendance of an informal meeting from both the trainer/assessor
and students. Students will enjoy this role-play if they spend the time preparing.
o Students should prepare for an informal meeting to be held in either the classroom, or if possible a
meeting or board room at the college in attendance, which the trainer/assessor should organise in
advance.
o The students will be the attendees.
o The class should be divided into small groups of three or four.
o Timings would be approximately one day for preparation and one day for meetings and follow up.
o Create an appropriate scenario for a meeting for each group. For example, a production meeting to
identify where a film shoot should take place, for a client’s promotional video. Use something
appropriate to the student cohort. The meeting should cater for some collaboration software being
used along with two employees who will be on video-conference. The agenda items can be to create
discussion or alternatively to come to a conclusion. The scenario used in the activity in Topic One
could also be given or extended upon.
o Allow 10 minutes for each meeting to be held.
o Write out several disruptive behaviours and hand out to various students to perform during the meeting

o Appoint one person from each group to be the chair of each meeting.
1. Prepare an Agenda:

o State a date, time and venue;
o List the items for the agenda; each participant is to have at least one matter to address.
o Send the agenda via email to all participants to invite them to the meeting
2. Meeting Preparation Statement that identifies:
o The way the room should be appropriately laid out, with the right equipment stated
o Catering arrangements
o A list of protocols that participants should follow (consider the video conference participants in

The content of this unit has now been covered. The next two weeks have been allocated for the
trainer/assessor to review topics and for students to complete their assessment tasks.
The trainer/assessor should allow time to review any topics or activities undertaken by students to
consolidate their learning.
Students should use these sessions to work on their assessment tasks, with support from the
trainer/assessor where relevant. Reasonable adjustment should be made where appropriate.
Support
The trainer/assessor should provide as much support as is appropriate for students whilst they undertake
their assessment tasks. The trainer/assessor may have to timetable meetings or role-play’s that require
observation for assessment so it is important to ensure that this has been considered into the lesson
planning over the last two weeks of assessment.
