The aim of this apprenticeship study is to develop the knowledge, skills and
behaviours required to work successfully as a bricklayer in a sector working
towards Net Zero.
Our programme of study is sequenced to address resilience and wellbeing at
the start of the programme through a one-day programme leading to formal
certification upon successful completion.
This is followed by an intensive Health and Safety programme that supports
knowledge around the Standard. Whilst there is no mandatory on-programme
assessment for this element, upon completion it is possible to achieve the Level
1 Award in Health and Safety, this will support CSCS card attainment.
The knowledge and skills around cavity walling; solid walling; feature
brickwork and brick repairs are developed. This supports skills being developed
in the workplace.
Knowledge associated with the principles of construction is developed with
modern methods of construction and retrofit knowledge embedded. Whilst there is
no mandatory on-programme assessment of this element of the programme it is
possible to achieve a Level 2 Award in Retrofit to demonstrate attainment.
Where a Level 2 qualification in English and Maths is not held on entry, you
will be required to:
- Study and achieve Level 1 English and Level 1 Maths (this could be GCSE,
Functional Skills or other).
- Study and take the assessment for Level 2 English and Level 2 Maths
assessments (this could be GCSE, Functional Skills or
other).
