Apprenticeships
Bricklaying - Your Future Freedom!
Take on a bricklaying apprenticeship and discover a hands-on satisfaction like no other.
Australian apprenticeships are not all the same and bricklaying is no exception. If you enjoy being outdoors, like working with your hands and love seeing the end results of your work – becoming a qualified bricklayer could be just for you.
Just like other Australian apprenticeships, you'll earn good apprentice wages while working towards your trade certificate qualification. After that, the sky's the limit! You can become your own boss, hire other bricklayers as part of your own bricklaying gang - and even progress further, with a successful career in the building and construction industry.
- And that's just a glimpse of the possibilities available to you. For more information on Australian apprenticeships in bricklaying, or about becoming a qualified bricklayer, explore the rest of this site.
For state specific information on bricklaying apprenticeships use the blue State Apprenticeships menu located at the top of the page.
