Certificate III in Bricklaying/Blocklaying

You'll learn from our teachers who have worked as apprentices themselves and know what it's like starting out in the industry, while you practice with the latest tools and technologies in our state-of-the-art Building and Construction Training Centre.

From there, the options are open.

You can work for yourself, set up your own building business, work for major construction companies or as a subcontractor on residential builds.
