Learning today for a brighter tomorrow
Birmingham Adult Education Service (BAES) is one of the largest adult learning providers nationally with around 7,000 adults studying with us every year.
We are a “first steps” provider and a perfect way to get back into learning if you have been out of education for a while, or school wasn’t a comfortable fit. Our part-time courses begin at basic entry levels and progress up to level 3 qualification courses (A level equivalent).
The long ladder of language success
Learning a language comes with an extra challenge for Howard because of a speech impediment.
This difficulty sometimes means he needs a bit more time to answer questions in class. However, his desire to succeed, and the trust he has in his fellow learners means he has the confidence to take his time before he speaks. When he does answer, he is invariably correct in his response.

Happy to see them exploring their options, there was a part of her that regretted she had never had the opportunity to reach her own potential as a learner.
“I just love my numbers!”
Geoff had to leave his job as a care worker when he needed to have a hip replacement.
In March 2021, he decided to get out and start looking for a new career. With a lifelong love of numbers, he chose an Accounts course at Brasshouse.
Motivated by the desire to live his best life
Shane has a catchphrase “Don’t just sit there in the corner. Go out and do something about it!”
That is exactly what Shane has done, and he is now reaping the rewards.
