Bricklayer (93627)

Build a solid future in the construction industry with this practical Bricklayer programme, designed to equip learners with the technical knowledge, hands-on skills, and workplace experience needed to construct, repair, and alter a wide range of masonry structures. This course prepares learners to work confidently with bricks, blocks, stone, mortar, and paving materials in real construction environments.

Learners will develop a strong foundation in bricklaying trade theory, including reading and interpreting drawings, measuring and setting out, material selection, quality control, construction legislation, health and safety, first aid, and the use of hand and power tools. The programme also builds essential knowledge in masonry, concrete work, paving, and finishing techniques required on modern building sites.

A major practical component gives learners hands-on experience in preparing construction sites, excavating and building foundations, mixing mortar and concrete, erecting access equipment, and laying bricks, blocks, stone, and paving to construct superstructures, substructures, and decorative features. Learners are also trained in finishing operations, quality testing, and housekeeping practices to ensure professional, compliant, and high-quality workmanship.

With strong workplace-based learning built into the qualification, learners gain real exposure to planning and preparation, bricklaying on site, constructing walls and paving, carrying out alterations and repairs, and completing finishing and quality assurance processes under supervision before progressing to greater independence.

Ideal for individuals who want to build a career in the construction trade, this programme prepares graduates to work as skilled Bricklayers in residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects, while creating a pathway for growth into broader construction and site leadership roles.
