The Essential Bricklaying Course enables students to learn the
essential skills involved in building substantial solid brick walls. The
course will appeal to those students wanting to tackle DIY and home
improvement projects such as garden and boundary walls as well as non
regulated outbuildings. The Essential Bricklaying course will also appeal
to the professional trades person looking to add bricklaying to their
offered services.
It is the objective of the Essential Bricklaying
Course that you will learn how to use a comprehensive range of tools and
materials in order to build walls that are accurate, straight and true
rather than getting as many "wavy davey" courses laid as possible. With an
ability to build accurate walls you can then go forward and work to your
own balance of height and accuracy depending upon your own needs and
available time.
