Level 2 Technical in Bricklaying

The course is aimed at students who have already begun their journey as a bricklayer, have completed a Level 1 qualification in bricklaying and can provide a valid certificate. 

You should have passed a Level 1 qualification in bricklaying. 

Consisting of skills, behaviours and knowledge, the course covers intermediate bricklaying skills to meet the new technical standard. 

Core subjects are:

• Health and safety
• Principles of construction
• Building and communication
• Setting out
• Bricklaying
• Block laying
• Cavity walling
• Solid walling

Mathematics and English skills will be embedded into all lessons.

You will learn on-site, in the classroom and in the practical workshop. There may be some requirement to complete work online, but this will be kept to a minimum. 

While we make every endeavour to run programmes as advertised, we reserve the right to cancel those which do not enrol sufficient numbers to make them viable.

You will need to supply your own basic stationery, notebook, padlock, safety footwear, work trousers, safety glasses and work gloves. You will also be required to purchase a uniform once you have started the course.

There is an expectation that you will purchase a basic tool kit once you are settled into the course.

A range of assessment methods will be used throughout the course:

• A portfolio of ongoing training and assessment in both practical and theory work, which will be graded for quality and content
• Final skills assessment which will be graded against set criteria
• Final knowledge assessment in the form of a multiple-choice exam

You can progress to a Level 3 Technical qualification in Brickwork as a full-time learner. You could also progress to an apprenticeship.
