Brickwork Apprenticeship Level 2 the best young bricklaying professionals! get into career mode

Apprenticeship Overview

How will I be Assessed?

The construction sector is the driving force behind the UK economy, employing three million people and contributing 6.4% of GDP. Not only that, the construction industry is central to delivering the homes, schools, hospitals, energy and transport infrastructure our society demands.

The End-point Assessment (EPA) will assess how an apprentice can apply their skills, knowledge and behaviours acquired in their Apprenticeship, through the following three assessments carried out at the end of the Apprenticeship after the apprentice has completed the 24-30 month duration of on-programme learning:

A career in the construction industry is like no other.

Bricklaying is a core function within the construction sector, particularly the house building sector. The Government has a target to build significantly more new homes over the coming years and therefore the demand for bricklayers has never been higher.

• Knowledge test (multiple-choice questions on a computer based platform) • Skills test • Oral questioning

Bricklayers lay bricks, blocks and other types of building components in mortar to construct and repair walls, foundations, partitions, arches and other structures e.g. chimney stacks. They might also refurbish brickwork and masonry on restoration projects. The range of sites and projects that bricklayers will work on include large commercial developments, new builds in housing, alterations, extensions and restorations. A bricklayer may work one-on-one or on larger jobs where their bricklaying group (gang) may work on a particular section of a building alongside other bricklaying gangs as well as other trades.

What You’ll Learn • Correct preparation of materials • How to select appropriate tools, equipment and materials for each project • How to interpret drawings and specifications • Different brickwork construction techniques • The importance of energy efficiency • Health & Safety practices

Entry Requirements Entry requirements will be determined by individual employers.

If not already achieved, you will have to complete Level 1 English and Maths and take the test for Level 2, prior to taking your end point assessment.

The occupation involves carrying out advanced skilled work, primarily using timber products, either on a construction site, or in a workshop, creating and installing building components. The Advanced Carpenter and Joiner is able to undertake complex job tasks, requiring high levels of practical skills and knowledge, in addition to managing their own work and leading small teams.

Entry requirements will be determined by individual employers. The Apprentice must have Level 2 Functional Skills or GCSEs in Maths and English.

The main differences between a Level 2 Site Carpenter/Architectural Joiner, and a Level 3 Advanced Site Carpenter/Architectural Joiner are that the Carpenter/Joiner has responsibility for managing their own and other people’s work, as well as being required to complete complex and non-standard work. Examples of complex tasks include curved products, irregular joints and bespoke work.

An Advanced Site Carpenter will normally work on a building site, or in domestic and commercial premises, preparing and installing complex and often bespoke building components e.g. high quality doors, shaped linings, staircases with turns, complex wall and floor units, erecting bespoke structural carpentry (inclined roofs and joists) and erecting complex roof structures (e.g. inclined roofs with hips, valleys and dormers).

How will I be Assessed?

• The apprentice must complete all elements of the on-programme learning to achieve the assessment gateway requirements.

• The end-point assessment will assess the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to undertake the work of an Advanced Site Carpenter or Advanced Architectural Joiner.

• The employer, in consultation with the training provider, will make the final decision on when the apprentice is ready to progress to the end-point assessment, based upon the achievement of the on-programme and assessment gateway requirements.

What You’ll Learn • Utilise advanced trade skills to carry out complex carpentry work to highly skilled standards • Installing complex window and door frames, linings, partitions with openings and staircases with turns • Install accessible service encasements, bespoke wall/floor units and fitments, panelling and stair components (e.g. balustrades, handrails and spindles with turns) • Install doors, ironmongery, wall and floor units, cladding and staircase components • Erect inclined roofs with gables, roof verges and eaves, including finishings, joists and roof coverings • Understand the key aspects of health, safety and welfare good practice
