TWO sisters are celebrating after both graduating college with first class honours.

Stacey Bisson and Carla Kesterton both completed courses in business management at Heart of Worcestershire College (HoW College).

In addition, Ms Bisson has now got a job at the college as a business lecturer.

Speaking about her experience, Ms Bisson said: “Compared to Universities the classes are small so you really get to know your lecturers and the support they offer is amazing.

"The course price is less but that doesn’t mean the qualification is any different.

"It was hard work doing the degree alongside everything else but the expertise of lecturers and knowing what a difference it would make to my career pushed me on through the difficult parts.”

Sister Ms Kesterton said: “I would highly recommend the HND and BA (Hons) business management as the knowledge and experience of the lecturers made learning enjoyable and shows how the theory applies to real life situations.

"The small class sizes mean that the teaching feels personal and relevant to everyone.

"I have now achieved a first class BA (Hons) in business management and it has already opened up opportunities for progression in my workplace.”

Bridgette Bennett, coordinator of higher education business management, added: “Our super siblings Stacey and Carla are an amazing double act.

"Their achievements seem even more impressive, when we consider they 'fast-tracked' through these qualifications.

"Both sisters completed their degrees in three years part-time, instead of the usual six years.

"The sisters are truly amazing and testament to the fact that the College's unique fast-track delivery method really works.”
