Bricklaying Level 2

Contact Salt Training Limited directly on 01227 204444 or email apprenticeshipsinfo@salt-college.co.uk

This occupation is found in both the new build and refurbishment sectors of the construction industry. Projects vary in size, scale, and duration, ranging from the repair of a garden wall to new build housing and large-scale commercial projects such as office blocks, hospitals and retail developments.

Employers and contractors of bricklayers vary in size from small, local family building companies to major home builders and commercial contractors. Bricklayers sometimes choose to specialise in certain types of projects and go on to become masters in their field. Examples include refurbishment work, new build homes or commercial works. There is growing demand for Bricklayers to help meet the need for new homes.

With sustainable construction at the forefront of all projects, it is expected they would give consideration to the environment and sustainability of materials, waste awareness and recycling.

A Bricklayer Apprenticeship is the ideal way to develop the practical skills and knowledge needed for a successful career in the construction industry. Working alongside experienced professionals, you'll learn how to construct, repair and maintain brick and block structures on a range of residential and commercial projects.

Training can be delivered in a variety of ways to meet the needs of both the employer and apprentice, including:

• One day per week at our training centre (day release)
• Block release, where apprentices attend training for a number of consecutive days at agreed intervals
• Training delivered at the employer's premises where appropriate

Throughout the programme, apprentices will receive support from an experienced trainer, who will carry out regular workplace reviews and provide guidance to help them develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required by the apprenticeship standard.

Apprentices will complete practical training, build a portfolio of evidence, and prepare for their End-Point Assessment.

Apprentices must secure an employer that is willing to support them through the apprenticeship and provide a role that aligns with the apprenticeship. English and maths qualifications must be completed in line with the apprenticeship funding rules.
