Bricklaying Masonry [Nova Scotia Community College, NSCC]

Bricklayers prepare and lay bricks, concrete blocks, stone, and other masonry units to construct, erect, and repair structures such as walls, partitions, patios, arches, paving, fireplaces, smokestacks, and chimneys. Their work also encompasses the laying of fire brick and other refractory materials used in the construction of industrial furnaces, retorts, and boilers. In this program, you learn to safely construct decorative and load-bearing walls using a variety of tools and equipment. This program is well suited for individuals who are detail oriented, self-starters, creative, and enjoy hands-on work.
