Level 2 Apprenticeship Standard in Bricklaying

To successfully complete the apprenticeship, you will need both maths and English at grade 3 or above, or Functional Skills Level 1. If necessary, these can be studied at College alongside your apprenticeship.

You will be required to attend College one day per week throughout the duration of the apprenticeship programme.

You will spend 6 hours of your apprenticeship working towards your off-the-job learning, which can consist of College attendance, homework/coursework, project related work, employer training, mentoring, and coaching – plus a number of other tasks.

Throughout your apparenticeship, you will build a portfolio of work and workplace assessors will be in regular contact to provide support, and to arrange on-site visits to observe your ability and skills in your daily role. It is important for you to take ownership of your own learning by seeking out opportunities to gain new skills on the job with your employer. Learning in College will be delivered through a mixture of classes, work-related activities and independent study and research.

Your final grade will be determined in the endpoint assesment, by a collective performance in the three areas below:
•    online knowledge-based tests
•    skills test (knowledge and behaviours are observed in the workplace)
•    professional discussion (to demonstrate that you can apply the broad range of knowledge, skills and behaviours in the Standard).

You can progress to a higher-level full-time course or apprenticeship within the construction industry, such as site management or surveying.
