• Mixing and turning mortar, loading boards
• Moving, stacking, and passing bricks
• Laying of bricks and blocks
As with any trade apprenticeship, you will spend up to 6 months doing general work relating to the trade. The quicker you learn these tasks and showcase your work ethic and ability, the quicker you will progress into laying bricks/blocks. The work will be beneficial for adding to your portfolio and skillset.

The qualification you would be working to is the Level 2 Brickwork (Standard) where we will be looking to partner with a training provider for your course work.
