COURSE

OVERVIEW

Our bespoke workshops support the practical delivery of this course allowing you to develop your bricklaying skills and learn more complex techniques. Theory lessons play an important part in developing your understanding of the industry and how to succeed safely in it.
You will learn the practical skills relating to different structures in the bricklaying industry. You will learn to develop drawings and the calculations involved in creating your designs. You will look at more complex bricklaying bonds and patterns and will also learn how to design and create basic brick arches.
On this course, it is important that you have a good understanding of health and safety and how it relates to the industry. In your theory lessons, you will also look at the different properties in the materials you will be using, the types of bricks you use and why and how to calculate your quantities to ensure your work is of a high quality.
On this course, you will have an opportunity to compete in the regional Skill Build competition in bricklaying. Previous students have gone on to represent the college in the national competition. Previous industry linked visits have included visiting the redevelopment of Halifax’s Piece Hall to see the specialist skills involved there, as well as visits to brick factories and building sites.
