5 Day Introductory Bricklaying Courses

Welcome to Able Skills 5 day Introductory Bricklaying Courses

If you are looking to learn bricklaying then Able Skills is certainly the place to start learning with this 5 day introductory, hands on Bricklaying training course.

Our 5 day Introductory Bricklaying Course will provide you with a great insight and understanding of bricklaying whether you are a total beginner or have some previous bricklaying experience.

This 5 day introductory course has been structured to suit those of you looking to learn bricklaying from scratch however, we are also able to tailor to suit the individual and can design courses to suit, from building a garden wall to an extension or garage; we will try and help you through each step of any project you may have. If you bring your plans/drawings along we can offer advice and guidance.

If you set out with the intention of attending purely for the purposes of DIY then you will not be disappointed; this bricklaying course will meet your expectations and you will be ready to give that bricklaying project a go.

At the same time, if you have a desire to move onto a bricklaying qualification, then this will also act as your underpinning knowledge to move forward when you are ready.

We are not claiming to make you a qualified Bricklayer in 5 days but we do promise to provide you with dedicated bricklaying training and an excellent opportunity to progress further if you want.

Our 5 day bricklaying courses will act as a great basis for work within the bricklaying industry but we do recommend that you consider additional training if you want to sustain a long term career as a Bricklayer.

We try to make all training as accessible as possible to everyone so if you have weekly commitments but would still like to learn bricklaying, we offer bricklaying training over 2 consecutive weekends.

After having spent a week with us bricklaying on an introductory course you may decide to upgrade to the City & Guilds or NVQ option, this is a 5 or 7 week course and will provide you with recognised bricklaying qualifications.

If you decide to upgrade, we will adjust your training time and fees to accommodate for the 5 day bricklaying course completed. Whether you do decide to upgrade or not, the week spent with us will not have been wasted as you will have gained a great deal of practical knowledge.

Additionally, if you would like to learn that little bit more about bricklaying, but do not want to commit to a qualification, we offer a 5 day Advanced Bricklaying Course, this is also available over weekends.

As a City & Guilds Approved Centre, with Assessors and Internal Verifiers on site, you can be assured that equal training and facilities will be offered to everyone attending all courses.
