Level 2 - Bricklaying Apprenticeship

Do you like working in a hands-on environment? Do you like learning in a more practical way? Are you a hard worker and prepared to work outside in all weathers?

If so the construction industry might be for you!

You will spend either one day a week (day release) or one full week (block release timetabled throughout your time on your apprenticeship) with Hull Training and Adult Education and the rest of the time with your employer on site.

You will learn the basics of bricklaying and once your skills have been developed we would move on to more advanced skills.

During this course you will learn a full range of skills that a qualified Bricklayer needs including:

Health safety and welfare in construction

Setting out brickwork

Mixing mortar

Laying bricks and blocks

Moving and handling

You will work towards gaining an apprenticeship standard in Bricklaying. The apprenticeship standard contains a list of skills, knowledge and behaviours you will need to have learnt by the end of your apprenticeship.

Standards are occupation focused, the learning happens throughout the apprenticeship and you are assessed at the end of your apprenticeship.

It is at this point you will need to prove you can carry out all aspects of the job. This is called the End Point Assessment (EPA).

You need to be aged 16 years and over

GCSE’s at grade’s 9 – 4 in Maths and English (A – C)

You do not need any prior bricklaying qualifications but you do need to be employed to start this course.

If you are not employed then we can help look for an employer or the level 1 might be a great starting point for you.

On completion of this apprenticeship, the apprentice will have satisfied the requirements to obtain a Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) Card at the appropriate level. Apprentices will progress to a wide range of employment opportunities in the workplace. Self-employment or starting a business may also be an option. Candidates may also progress on to higher level qualifications.
