Feedback on the Introduction to Bricklaying Course from Graham via Trustpilot

“I have a few brick laying jobs - repair outside wall and block up a doorway - this course was an ideal intro to the art!

Simon was a great teacher, very engaging and helpful answering any and every question.

Totally recommend it. Stayed locally given travel considerations, Able Skills very close to the train station so worked well. Very well organised.”

City & Guilds Bricklaying Course

This is a City & Guild accredited bricklaying course. It’s an ideal entry point for anyone wanting to start training as a bricklayer as it offers a basic bricklaying qualification and certificate.

Feedback on the City & Guilds Bricklaying Course from Yuichi via Trustpilot.

“I attended 3 weeks bricklaying City & Guilds course as international student from Japan. I have about 6 years’ experience in construction industry as block layer and a few time bricklaying experience as well. However, I wanted to get a good international qualification because I would like to go overseas especially go to Australia as brick layer. That's why I decided to choose to take this training and through assessment.

I really believe that this training was great opportunity to improve my skill and knowledge from great lecturer feedback and effective course compositions. Thank you very much! I strongly recommend learning at Able Skills!"
