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).
