10 Day Bricklaying Courses - Bricklaying Training Courses
This is a practical 10 Day hands on Bricklaying Course. These courses are designed to give you sound knowledge of brickwork for use at home or site but is also flexible and can be tailored to include any specific project you are planning. Our 10 Day Bricklaying courses are as good as it gets.
Our Instructor and Assessor not only teaches bricklaying but actually does it for a living. From Site developing to Domestic he knows his stuff which can only be advantageous to the students. You will be confident on completion of your course in tackling various projects having had the best training that Goldtrowel is known and respected for.
The first two days of the course are fixed and consist of the following elements:
