Testimonials

"When I first came to Birmingham Academy, I do not have a great impression as the academy wasn't very big. I was thinking of transferring school but decided to try for a week. It was amazing. The lecturers are very professional and experience. I learnt a lot from them. The student welfare was delighted and it makes me really at ease in a foreign country. What surprise me is that when I try to check the value of the Diploma awarded by Birmingham Academy by applying for a job, I was shortlisted for the job. I'm happy I got a proper and recognised academy to study. I will be more than willing to recommend an international student to study here."

Chal Bau

Diploma in Business Management

Placed to Catholic High School, Secondary 1: "I studied at Birmingham Academy to prepare for the SPERS-SEC exam in 2025. I really enjoyed my lessons there. The teachers are very kind and patient. When I did not understand something, they explained it to me slowly and clearly. They also gave me a lot of practice, which helped me feel more confident. Before the exam, I was a bit nervous, but my teachers encouraged me and told me to believe in myself. Because of their help, I passed the SPERS-SEC exam and got admission to Catholic High School in 2026. I was very happy and proud. Thank you, Birmingham Academy, for helping me achieve my goal. I will always remember my time there."
