BRICKLAYING
The construction of today’s buildings stresses the use of brick and block more than ever. This course teaches the students’ current building and construction methods in a clean and safe working environment. Classroom theory is reinforced by "hands-on" brick and block construction projects. In addition, the course includes components of tile setting, patio and fireplace construction, and other applications used in the masonry trades.
This program is well suited to a person who desires working outdoors and enjoys physical activity. Graduates from this program can enter the work force or continue into post secondary education.
