Bricklaying Apprenticeship (Level 2)

What is a bricklayer?

Bricklayers are one of the most recognisable trades in construction, responsible for creating one of the project’s most essential elements, the structure itself. They work with bricks, pre-cut stone, and concrete blocks to build, repair, and extend a wide range of structures. 

They also: 

  • Work precisely from construction plans and specifications
  • Measure build areas and set out the first courses of bricks
  • Use hand tools, power tools, and brick-cutting machines
  • Repair and maintain brick and blockwork
  • Apply damp-proofing to protect foundations

How does the apprenticeship work?

1 day a week at AccXel – You’ll study both theory and practical skills on our live mock site, designed to simulate real construction environments.  

4 days a week with an employer – You’ll then put your learning to practice on actual construction projects, gaining valuable experience and knowledge alongside skilled professionals.  

Portfolio & Final Assessment – You’ll build a portfolio of evidence throughout the programme, then complete an End Point Assessment (EPA) to achieve your qualification. 

Earn While You Learn – You’ll be paid a wage for the entire duration of your apprenticeship, gaining a recognised qualification at no cost to you.
