The end-point assessment of this standard will consist of a knowledge test of 40 multiple-choice questions, a two- day skills test of three simulated practical tasks and oral questioning of approximately 15 questions.

When you finish the apprenticeship, you don’t just get a recognised qualification - you gain solid hands-on experience that makes you stand out to employers. There are plenty of chances to move up, whether that’s becoming a site supervisor, project manager, or even starting your own bricklaying business. This apprenticeship isn’t just about learning the trade; it’s about laying down the groundwork for a fulfilling career in construction. You’ll develop bricklaying skills that help create and restore buildings built to last.

To apply for the Level 2 Bricklaying Apprenticeship, candidates must:

Secure Employment: Have an employer in place who is committed to supporting them throughout the apprenticeship.

Work Hours: Be employed full-time, working a minimum of 30 hours per week, and be on the company’s PAYE scheme.

Educational Qualifications: Ideally hold a minimum of 3 GCSEs at grade 3/D or above (or equivalent). If candidates do not hold maths and English at grade 4/C or above, they will be required to complete Functional Skills qualifications alongside their apprenticeship.

Pre-Employment Checks: Successfully complete a scope of work review to ensure your job role aligns with the apprenticeship requirements, a skills scan, and initial assessments in maths and English.
