More information about this Course
Introduction
This apprenticeship is designed by key employers in the Construction industry
and is one of the new ‘trailblazer apprenticeships. It provides the skills and
underpinning knowledge for Bricklaying. Apprentices will learn how to lay
bricks, blocks and other types of building components in mortar to construct and
repair walls, foundations, partitions, arches and other structures e.g. chimney
stacks. They might also refurbish brickwork and masonry on restoration projects.
The range of sites and projects that bricklayers will work on include large
commercial developments, new builds in housing, alterations, extensions and
restorations. A bricklayer may work one-on-one or on larger jobs where their
bricklaying group (gang) may work on a particular section of a building
alongside other bricklaying gangs as well as other trades. Off the Job

This must make up at least 20% of the apprentice’s contracted hours, over the

must be directly relevant to the apprenticeship standard and must take place
within the apprentice’s normal working hours. The new learning must be
documented and reflected on through the Learner Journal on
e-portfolio.

weeks, depending on individual needs. A full delivery plan will be provided when
the apprentice starts on the programme. End Point Assessment During their
time on-programme, the apprentice will build a portfolio of evidence of their
work and their knowledge. The assessor and employer will help the apprentice to
create a ‘Showcase portfolio’ which will be used by an Independent End-Point
Assessor during the End-Point Assessment. The Final Assessment forms a large
part of the assessment of the apprenticeship and will be delivered by a 3rd
