Quality Bricklayers are one of the most in demand trades in the construction industry
What is this course about?
CPC33020 – Certificate III in Bricklaying/ Blocklaying As a Bricklayer, you could be employed by bricklaying subcontractors and building and construction companies; or you might decide to be your own boss, as a self-employed tradesperson. If you have a few years of experience as a brickies labourer, you could be on your way to your licence with this qualification.
Did you know?
Current building statistics show quality bricklayers are one of the most in demand trades on job sites. The NSW Department of Fair Trading regulates trade licences in New South Wales. You need a licence to complete any build-related work valued over $5,000 (including materials and labour), or someone who is licenced and registered must supervise the work.
Who should do it?
Anyone looking to have a career in bricklaying and blocklaying.
How will undertaking this course benefit you?
Upon completion participants can apply to NSW Fair Trading for a Brick and Blocklaying contractor’s licence and may pursue further studies as a pathway towards a building contractors licence.
This is also one of the two structural trades which means that you only have to do a Cert IV in Building and Construction to apply for your builders licence.
