I wanted to be a Bricklayer because there are a lot of jobs available and the pay is good. I like that most of the course is practical. The construction facilities at Brunel are great.
I’m most proud of gaining an Apprenticeship and doing well in my practical and theory classes. I’ve learnt how to fit and install bathrooms and maintain central heating systems. The apprenticeship provides a lot of variety and you learn a lot through a mixture of theory and practical.
I enjoy learning practical skills, such as building a wall, as well as the theory side. After I finish this course, I want to become a qualified builder and gain some experience within the building industry and one day start my own business.
I really enjoy the practical elements of my course and learning new skills that I will need to be a successful plasterer. Once I complete my course I am either going to look for an apprenticeship or set up my own business.
