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).
Our first IWD conference
Birmingham Adult Education Service recently hosted our first International Women’s Day Conference at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.
The conference embodied this year’s theme for International Women’s Day of Inspire Inclusion. We welcomed Kalvinder Kohli from Birmingham City Council, Clare Hatton from the West Midlands Combined Authority and Councillor Suleman, who along with other speakers shared their personal stories with the audience.
Opening times: Easter
Our classes are closed from Monday 25 March until Monday 8 April.
However, most centres will remain open on normal work days during the Easter period with some changes to opening hours.
We advise that you check with the centre before travelling.
