Who can enrol on the basic bricklaying course?
We recommend the basic bricklaying programme to anyone who wishes to learn the essentials of bricklaying, particularly those with little or no prior experience of the trade. The course was developed with beginners and novices in mind, and our candidates tend to find this programme far more accessible than advanced courses that presume some prior knowledge on the part of students.Of course, we are still happy to hear from candidates who already have some bricklaying experience – we frequently help such individuals to refresh their skills and bring their knowledge up to date – and those who need vital qualifications to prove their existing skills.
