Industry-Backed. Not-For-Profit. Focused on Your Future.
Why Choose Bricklaying or Blocklaying?
You’ll earn while developing a hands-on trade that’s always in demand. Apprentices typically receive competitive wages throughout the term of their apprenticeship – which increases every year as you progress.
Step out of the office and into ever-changing worksites – from new builds to heritage restorations – enjoying fresh air and varied scenery that keeps your workday dynamic and engaging.
Bricklaying is just the beginning. Apprenticeship qualifications open pathways to site management, business ownership, and advanced construction careers.
Bricklaying isn’t a solo gig; you’ll collaborate with experienced tradespeople and watch your collective effort turn raw materials into functional, lasting structures. There’s real satisfaction in seeing a project go from foundation to finish.
