Why does a wall built forty years ago still stand straight?
A wall is only as good as the thinking behind it. Mortar mix, bond pattern, and what frost does to a brick over twenty winters. Our free bricklaying course teaches that side of the trade rather than just the motion of laying. Official construction training figures name bricklaying among the trades employers struggle hardest to fill. The same forecasts put the industry's need at over forty thousand extra workers a year. Around four in ten of the current workforce is already past forty-five. So the work is there. What is missing is people who know why a job is done a certain way.
Mortar, techniques, repair, building codes and estimating are all feature. And nothing here assumes you have picked up a trowel.
Our free training is great because you can study in a way that suits you. For example:
Our free online bricklaying course follows a build from first course to final joint, including:
Most guides show you how to lay a brick. Fewer mention that old walls need soft lime mortar, not modern cement. Use the wrong one and the brick cracks instead of the mortar. Our free basic bricklaying course covers repair work like that, plus estimating and regulations. That is what people pay a bricklayer for.
Our course is open to complete beginners. Our free course is perfect for you if you can do these things:
Our free bricklayers course suits DIY builders tackling a garden wall. And labourers already on site use it to move up. Some learners are comparing brick laying courses before paying for a college place, whether that is a bricklaying course London providers run or something closer to home. Anyone looking at brickwork course options can test the subject here at no cost.
Yes, you read that right! Our course certificates never expire. Want the high-quality version? That costs just £5 once you finish. A hardcopy costs a little more.
Laying brick is learned with a trowel in your hand. So treat our free bricklayer training as the knowledge beside it. Bricklayer courses like this support:
Our bricklayer course covers a build from the ground up. You will study principles, techniques, mortar and construction basics. Then specialist work, repair, building codes and estimating. So as your confidence grows, you will look at a wall and see how it was put together.
