Bricklaying is a vital part of the world of construction – and a varied one too. From basic walls and house building to major developments or even helping to preserve old and historic buildings, bricklayers work on a huge range of projects serving all different kinds of purposes. If you want to break into this field, our Brickwork Level 1 course will give you the grounding to start your career and help meet the urgent need for thousands of new construction workers in the UK and beyond.
Our Level 1 Bricklaying course is hands-on and will enable you to develop practical skills for creating and maintaining everything from walls, chimneys and fireplaces to floors, roofs, foundations and other structures. You will also study core themes within construction such as modern sustainable construction methods and green technology, health and safety, interpreting drawings and checking resources. You will also continue to develop your English and maths skills alongside your bricklayer training, as well as building general employability skills such as communication and teamwork to boost your career progression.
To support your practical training, you will study in state-of-the-art facilities at our purpose-built Centre for Sustainable Construction on campus. On completing the Level 1 Bricklaying course, you will be able to progress onto further construction courses, apprenticeships and careers in this field.
