Bricklayers work on both new build and renovation schemes, on projects
ranging from house extensions to city centre commercial development. This course
aims to provide a basic knowledge of bricklaying and to develop and practise the
skills for employment and a career in this craft area.
This is an ideal course for those who are looking to learn on a full-time
basis and have identified that they want to enter the construction industry and
have a career as a bricklayer.
Bricklaying study programmes start with a Level 1 Certificate or Level 1
Diploma. Learners progress from this to the Level 2 programme and progression is
available to the level 3 T level study programme.
Alternatively with an employer students can transfer to an apprenticeship
programme in year..
A bricklaying labourer could earn up to £17000 per year and a qualified
bricklayer can earn over £40000. Qualified experienced bricklayers also have the
potential to set up their own company.
These study programmes include learning that relates to the following UN
Sustainable Development Goals.

On a bricklaying study programme, you will learn through classroom teaching
and activity incorporating IT access. The college has designated bricklaying
workshops and through practical activity, you will develop your bricklaying
skills.
This learning is supplemented with industry engagement. The extent of this
depends on the level of the study programme and varies from guest speakers and
site visits to carrying out practical activity in a live
environment.
