Skilled Bricklayers are always in demand, as they are essential to every community, building homes, schools, and other structures that people rely on every day.
This one-year course is a great way to get started and will allow you to progress to a higher-level qualification or apprenticeship.
You will learn to work safely and with confidence in construction, with a focus on bricklaying skills. You’ll develop your speed and dexterity in laying bricks and learn to use various tools and equipment to construct block walling, half-brick return corners, and cavity walls.
You will need five GCSEs at grades 3-9, or equivalent (including English and maths).
Once completed you may be able to progress to Level 2 Bricklaying, alternatively into an apprenticeship.
