What do we offer?

We have structured this Level 1 course in such a way that it works out to approximately 90% hands-on practical and only 10% classroom-based theory, as we will be sending out a reading pack for you to complete most of the theory at home, at your own pace. This way, we manage to offer you great value for your time and money, as it allows you to quickly finish an in-depth course without skimping on the essentials, as nearly all the time you spend with us on this bricklaying course will be invested towards being taught practical tasks in the workshops at our local training centre. 

As professional training providers, the most important thing for us is that by the end of the course we will have built your confidence and your ability to start any basic bricklaying projects. Here at CBWA we employ only the best tutors: friendly & professional tradespeople who have decades of trade experience. Therefore, our tutors have up to date industry knowledge and lots of experience in training people. 

This course has a maximum of 10 students at a time so that each student gets enough guidance and tuition from our expert tutors, ensuring you complete the course with all of the required knowledge and understanding.  It allows you to ask questions on your mind and get plenty of one-to-one tuition throughout the course.

About this course

This is a fantastic introductory Bricklaying course that could be the first step towards an extremely rewarding career. In only 10 days, this course gives you direct access to the CSCS test (green card), which allows you to work on a construction site. The course provides you with a high-quality introduction to the bricklaying trade and helps you to progress to the next level with ease. 

Being the quickest entry point to start working on site as a bricklayer’s mate, this starter Level 1 course is ideal if you do not feel ready to commit to the full Level 2 Bricklaying 8-week course yet, or if you have a time-sensitive opportunity lined up to start working on a site nearby; which is why the contents of this Level 1 course also cover the site safety aspect taught in our Health & Safety Course, allowing you to sit your CSCS test at our computer suite, which is included in the price!

Embark on a transformative journey into the world of construction with CBWA's Level 1 Bricklaying Course. This comprehensive program serves as the bedrock for aspiring construction professionals, providing a solid foundation in bricklaying techniques and industry best practices. Taught by seasoned experts in the field, the course blends theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience, ensuring that participants not only understand the intricacies of bricklaying but also master the practical skills essential for success in the construction industry.

which course to choose and what comes after?

While the journey to become a professional tradesperson can be different for everyone, the ideal career path to becoming fully qualified would often resemble the steps below: 

  • Gain a Level 1 Qualification
  • Gain a green CSCS operatives card
  • If you want to work on a big housing site, then look for on site opportunities to gain experience
  • Gain a Level 2 Qualification
  • Gain a Level 2 NVQ
  • Gain a blue CSCS card

Aside from the time commitment, there is a noticeable difference between our Intensive, Level 1 and Level 2 courses.
 
If the 5 day course is a great workshop opportunity to finesse your DIY skills and learn face to face how to do your own projects with ease, and the 8-week course at our local academy is the best way to become a qualified professional bricklayer in record time, this 10 day course is the perfect middle ground: packed with the very same DIY skills, while covering some of the theoretical aspects needed to work on site, it allows you to get a wider grasp of the bricklaying trade without feeling neither lacking nor overbearing on your time schedule.
 
While our 8-week bricklaying course is more than enough to become a qualified bricklayer, and enables you to further pursue an NVQ and a blue CSCS card, the advantage of this course is that the 2 extra weeks from this Level 1 course can potentially make a big difference when it comes to your employability, skills, knowledge and confidence as a tradesperson, and will most definitely be putting you ahead of your peers who have only finished the Level 2 Diploma. For that reason, if you start as an absolute beginner, it is always worth pursuing the Level 1 Award before moving onto the Level 2 Diploma.
