Bricklaying

Bricklayers play an essential role in the construction industry, a sector that accounts for over £2 million jobs. With current skills shortages and demand rising for skilled bricklayers, now is the time to join this interesting trade.
 
A bricklayer is a craftsperson who works with clay bricks, concrete blocks, and other types of building materials to construct and repair brickwork. 

Students on our courses progress from learning basic techniques through to advanced work such as building arches. Alongside theory, students benefit from extensive time working on practical exercises in our purpose-built construction hall.
