This course covers the practical skills you need to lay bricks and blocks on a construction site.

The training also covers reading simple drawings, choosing the right tools and materials, and working safely around scaffolding and plant.

Frequently asked questions
How much does bricklaying training cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your group and the delivery mode, so the course is quoted per booking. Email us at info@rehtraining.co.za for a quote and we will come back to you with a figure. Group bookings are negotiable. Training can run online, at our centres in Midrand or Durban, or on site at your premises.
How long does the bricklaying course take?
The duration is quoted when you book, because it depends on group size and delivery mode. A small group at our Midrand or Durban centre may finish faster than a large group trained on site. Daily classes run with no waiting period, so you can start as soon as a date suits. Email info@rehtraining.co.za or call 010 746 6954 to arrange your dates.
Do I need experience before I can do bricklaying training?
No, the course suits beginners and workers with some site experience. The trainer takes you through the basics step by step, and practical work happens under supervision. If you already lay bricks at work, the course is a good way to have your skills checked against a standard and to pick up better techniques.
Can you train at our site in Johannesburg or Durban?
Yes. On-site training at your premises is one of our standard delivery modes, and it suits contractors who need a whole team trained at once. We also run daily classes at our centres in Midrand and Durban, and online theory where it applies. Email info@rehtraining.co.za with your location and group size, and we will put together a plan and a quote.
