Diary, Meetings and Travel Coordination
Managers, teams and clients depend on someone to make sure meetings happen at the right time, in the right place, with the right people and papers, and that business trips run smoothly. When diaries clash, venues are double-booked or a traveller arrives at a hotel with no booking, it costs time, money and goodwill. Good coordination is invisible: everything just works. This course teaches you how to manage an electronic diary, schedule appointments without clashes, plan meetings, write and send agendas, book and prepare venues, arrange flights, car hire and accommodation, write a clear itinerary, handle changes and cancellations and keep travel costs and records under control. The course is fully online and self-paced. Each lesson has a short activity in your workbook. You finish with a practical task and a final assessment, and you receive a MetaCo Certificate of Completion that you can add to your CV.
