Mr Majid Khan, 24, who was taking part in a national traineeship, gained his level two award, and Mr Tony Appleyard, head supervisor in weaving at the company, gained an Institute of Occupational Safety and Health managing safely qualification.
The textile manufacturing company encourages its new employees to take the course accredited by the Huddersfield and District Textile Training Group.
The scheme, co-ordinated by Calderdale and Kirklees Training and Enterprise Council, offers on-the-job training for the under 25s.
"The benefits of the courses are that employees learn on site about the company as well as having structured modular training," said personnel director, Miss Ingrid Holdsworth.
Also at the presentation were Mr Jack Yarker, chief executive of the Huddersfield and District Textile Training Group, managing director Mr. Michael Holdsworth, personnel director Miss Ingrid Holdsworth, and production director Mr. David Holdsworth.
