Course overview
Bricklaying courses at Redcar & Cleveland College are designed to prepare you for work. The courses could be the building blocks of your own career and on completion could put you on the right path to a successful future in the construction industry.
During your time on the bricklaying course, we have various competitions that you can actively take part in, these include Skillbuild, The Guild of Bricklayers Competition and Inter College Competitions. These competitions give you the chance to compete against other colleges and to travel to different parts of the region.
Developing your skills from level 1 you will learn more complex skills, knowledge and behaviours such as learning about safe
working practices, quantities, communication with others, building structural and decorative brickwork, repair and maintenance of masonry structures and building complex masonry structures.
Course information
Progression is available on to our Level 3 Diploma in Bricklaying where you will continue to develop your skills or by securing yourself an apprenticeship.
Four GCSEs grade 4 or above and a level 1 qualification in a related course.
Full-time 16-18 year olds who do not have a grade 4/C or above in maths and/or English, will attend weekly sessions with specialist tutors to work towards the relevant qualification(s). This is really useful to support you on your main course and is really valued by employers.
The course covers both practical and theoretical content. You will be assessed by online unit tests at the end of each module. The course is very practical based and the focus will be on learning and practising in the workshop.
