What do we offer?
Our course is a City & Guilds Level 2 qualification and is benchmarked at the same level as a GCSE A-C grade. The course is approximately 25% classroom-based and 75% practical, and also includes a certain amount of home study that takes approximately 2 hours per week.
As training providers, the most important thing for us is that, by the end of the course, we will have built your confidence to start working and completing your own projects. Here at CBWA we employ only the best tutors: friendly, time-served & professional tradespeople who have decades of trade experience. Therefore, our tutors have up to date industry knowledge and lots of experience in training people which they can pass on to our students.
Our bricklaying courses have a maximum of 10 students at a time, so that each student gets enough guidance and tuition from our tutors, ensuring you pass the course with all of the required knowledge and understanding, as it allows you to ask questions and get plenty of one-to-one instruction.
Diploma
To achieve the Level 2 Diploma in Bricklaying (6705-23), learners must complete the following units: 201, 202, 204, 205 and 206.
