NEB Students Come Out Tops in Management Course

Eleven South Lanarkshire men and women have come up trumps after passing a National Examining Board for Supervision and Management (NEBSM) course.

The eleven, who work for six Lanarkshire companies, passed the Introductory Award at Diploma Level (Intermediate) which will allow them to go on and do the NEBS Management Diploma.

The programme consisted of 60 hours of study built around a Personal Development Plan and Generic Management Studies including managing information, people, operations and resources.

The participants, who all have a minimum of two years of relevant experience in management attended day and evening workshops. They were also given tutorials, carried out a company based project and gave a presentation to their employers and the NEBSM External External Assessor.

• from Merson Signs Ltd - Andy Henderson, Donnie Murdoch, Mark O?Gorman, Gael Davidson and John McMullen
• from British Heat Treatments Ltd - Nigel Geeson
• from The Boxshop Ltd - Paul O'Conner and Graeme Calder
