Why Choose the Programme?
A bricklayer builds bricks from raw materials and then uses the final product to build walls, floors, partitions, and other brick structures. Depending on your preference or skill, you may choose to become skilled in a specific type of material, e.g., fire brick or cinder blockwork. The more skilled you become, the more you can take on larger projects like fireplaces, arches, steps, and more complicated structures.
