TWO women employed by the Asian Elders initiative in Bolton have received introductory awards from the National Examination Board for Supervision.

Sabera Mangera and Shabeen Rehman joined the NEBS Management Programme at BTG (Bolton training Group) in August last year. Their training was funded by the Quest Centre in Halliwell.

Julie Connolly, Sales and Marketing Manager at BTG, said: "It is pleasing to see two ladies achieve this management qualification.

"Following conversations with Derek Bennett, the tutor, we see no reason why Sabera and Shabeen could not move on to undertake the full NEBS Management certificate."

BTG offers a range of management training courses.

It is based on the Horwich Business Park in Chorley New Road, Horwich.
