We are very proud of the great correspondence we receive, here is just a few of our recent reviews about our bricklaying courses:

Looking to take up Bricklaying? Maybe you are sick of your current line of work and you're looking for a change of pace or you've just left school and have no idea what to do one of our Bricklaying courses could be for you... Bricklaying is an honest and highly profitable line of work to get involved with, there is a huge demand for bricklayers at the moment! 

No previous knowledge of Bricklaying? then we recommend taking an Introduction to Bricklaying Course.  If you feel confident and want to move forward in this trade then the Advanced Bricklaying Course is well suited for those who want to take their skills to the next level in order to tackle more complex areas of bricklaying such as:

  • Building archways (segmental)
  • Swoops
  • Ornate pillars
  • Birds beak detail
  • Brick on Edge with Creasing Tile
  • Quetta Bond Walling
  • Plinth Brickwork

The next step after that would be a 3-week basic bricklaying qualification City & Guilds Bricklaying Course which will give you a real insight into the working life and day-to-day activities of a bricklayer and will prepare to carry out most basic aspects of bricklaying, efficiently without fault! You will learn the following units:

  • Health and Safety in construction
  • Constructing half brick corner
  • Building cavity walls in brick and block
  • Constructing 1 brick walling (English bond)

If you are completely confident in your ability after completing aCity & Guilds Bricklaying Course, then you may want to consider taking a Level 2 Bricklaying Diploma or NVQ. A National Vocational Qualification is a work based competency test. At Able Skills, we offer an NVQ Level 2 Bricklaying Course that will give you all the tools you need to pass the test with ease!

“Course content was very good. The tutors have great knowledge about bricklaying and this was clear from the way that they teach. They have high-quality standards rub off on you. I feel like I’ve made a great progression from the basic skills that I learnt in the introduction course. I feel confident to try some small jobs at home.”

Overall Rating – Excellent

“Excellent delivery. I never expected to learn so much in 5-days. Julian & John taught in a fantastic manner, I progressed far better than I ever expected. The training was so spot on! I developed skills I couldn’t imagine again in 5-days!.”

Overall Rating – Excellent

"I must say, I’ve done different training courses before and not completed them because of the way I was taught. It’s not like that with John and Tony. They taught you as well as making your time enjoyable. They don’t talk down to you and they treat everyone the same. One of the main reasons I finished the course was because of John. He was a mate as much as a teacher which made it better to learn."

Overall Rating – Excellent

“Really well presented by the teachers, they took the time to explain how to go about setting up & were always there to give advice and help. It was a friendly and relaxed environment but structured and meant that I felt at ease while training here. A place to have a laugh but also get some serious knowledge, I think I progressed greatly since being here.”
