Australia’s property market is experiencing a construction boom, which has fueled a growing demand for bricklayers. This means becoming a licensed bricklayer can be a great way to secure your future in the construction industry. It’s a physically demanding job that pays well, and it’s something that you can be proud of.
Bricklayers and blocklayers can work in a variety of settings, including new home construction, commercial construction, and renovations.
There are many benefits of becoming a licenced bricklayer in Australia, including:
A trades licence ensures that you are qualified to work as a bricklayer and that you have the necessary skills and experience. This includes the ability to prepare the required building materials and carry out the work in a precise manner.
If you want to work as a bricklayer in Australia, most states and territories will require that you have a licence or building practitioner registration. This is to make sure that everyone working in the trade adheres to Australian quality standards.
To obtain a bricklaying licence, you must first have a trade certificate and industry expertise. The Certificate III in Bricklaying and Blocklaying CPC33020 can accelerate your career by bringing you one step closer to getting a licence.
If you don’t have formal bricklaying training or education, but do experience in the field, you may be able to get your skills nationally recognized through Recognition of Prior Learning.
