Brickwork (Level 2 Traineeship)

City and Guilds
Trades & Crafts

Course Overview

Bricklaying is a skill which is in high demand by small and medium sized construction companies and therefore apprenticeship and employment opportunities are good across Northern Ireland. There are a number of different types of ‘brick’ each one differing in what it’s best used for and what it’s made of. That’s before you get to colour and size differences. Using the right brick is integral to creating solid, durable structures. As a Bricklayer you will work within the Construction Industry both on commercial and residential projects. You can work internally / externally on residential and commercial projects. Enrichment activities and personnel development workshops on mental health, road safety and cultural diversity are built into the programme. Our students also have the opportunity to compete in Regional and UK Competitions.
