BURNLEY College has reached the finals of the National Training Awards, to be judged on October 3 in Manchester.

The awards are run by the government's department for education and skills.

Peter Cresswell, co-chair of the North West judging panel, said: "It's encouraging to see so many people and organisations achieving their business or personal goals through a commitment to training.

"Each one of these finalists deserves recognition for their effort and hard work because they have achieved very real successes through their learning and development."
