Brickwork

Brickwork Level 1, 2 and 3: City and Guilds Diploma (Full-time)

Each level has a theory and a practical element, and the units covered include health and safety, principles of building, producing thin joint masonry, building solid walls, constructing cavity walling, and interpreting drawings. All theory and practical tasks are delivered by our experienced team of staff.

You may also study maths and English during your course.

The course will run over 3 or 4 days, totalling around 15 hours per week.

We also aim to provide you with at least 35 hours of work experience.

Multi-Trade Construction - Level 1

This course is designed to provide an opportunity to study the different elements of construction if you are not certain which pathway you want to follow.

Each of the listed units generates an end exam, which will be undertaken in our examination suite. There are two online exams in Health and Safety and Principles of Building; all the others are paper-based, and all exams are multiple-choice.

Assessments are carried out throughout the year in both practical and theory work to enable you to reach and exceed your full potential.

You will have opportunities to progress to each level, provided you have successfully completed the previous level. So, from Level 1 you can progress up to Level 3 in your third year.

Once you have completed your diplomas, and whilst you are still studying, you will be able to look at progressing into an apprenticeship, where you will then have the opportunity to gain an NVQ in brickwork.

Completion of a Level 3 Diploma and NVQ can open up opportunities to progress into professional construction studies such as an HNC, where you can move up the ladder into site management and other professional roles within the industry.
