Brasshouse Languages

Currently learning mandarin there. Great teachers, very respectful staff. It's been about 6 months in now and I've had no issues. For the price of the course, I'd definitely reccomend it.

I have had a horrific experience here. Became a target of hate on both the Podcasting course (Kanas Wong) & Digital Photography course (Mark Holloway). Both tutors made vulgar remarks in every sentence. Kanas included a case study & a presentation with implied nasty remarks. Some students were also instructed to make nasty remarks of 5 weeks! I have made 2 complaints both have been deliberately ignored! Neither tutor taught the course properly & Mark Holloway made sure I didn’t receive the learning like the rest of the students! I had my enquiry about courses ignored. The marketing manager also made inappropriate digs. Management know the game they have been playing. I have been a target of hate crime by University of Birmingham, Birmingham MPs,, Conservative & Labour government, corrupt police.

A great place to study in peace and learn new things depending on your own pace.The teachers are very friendly and they offer great help through-out the week whenever you need it. The tutors do not behave like at secondary schools or colleges.I have been studying for 5 years at Brasshouse and I am deeply upset at its departure in August 2016, so it can merge with the useless Library of Birmingham.

It in the library really nice place to visit

Been going here for years, teachers are great- I had Luc and Lucy. Its very sad that its closed but the online sessions have been good. Not enough students so the classes get shut down since its government subsidised. Shame really, until next time!

I did my English L2 at this centre and passed! I loved attending the centre at the library. I met some great people in class, including the tutor.I am looking forward to returning this September for my Maths GCSE.

Birmingham City council why have you closed down (August 2018) what was a vibrant department for English language? Only four years ago when I studied a teaching qualification here there were many international students coming to improve their English and spend money in Birmingham ; up till recently I worked examining here and there always seemed to be demand for English language studying and exams. What is the rationale for closing this service and what message does it send to the world that the second city of England cannot provide an English language service for visitors and immigrants?

I was learning Chinese there last year . Such an amazing experience and competent teachers . I’ve learnt so much each term. Now I’m confident enough to talk to native Chinese speakers . Thank You to my teacher and the lovely staff at the front desk who always helped me with any query .

Tried to register last year and was told they didn’t have any spaces. Tried again this year well in advance however their phone went to answerphone as no one picked up and I therefore emailed them and never received a response. Really poor service! Do they have anyone manning the phone and responding to emails?

I learnt a lot, it was very fun and engaging.The teacher is very high quality.The material given is clearly developed over time.It is a safe environment.The guidance is professional.The administration staff are experienced and polite.
