Brickwork Students Lay First Brick on New Cutting-Edge Rig

Our Brickwork students have just laid their first brick and block on our new state-of-the-art brickwork rig at our Beverley campus.

Through our partnership with the ABC Assessment Centre, Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), and ACS Stainless Steel, we’ve got cutting-edge equipment and training courses that teach our students the latest bricklaying skills. These courses, led by expert trainer Nick, combine theory and hands-on experience giving our students the skills and certification to prove they are industry ready.  

We’re proud to be the only college in Hull and East Riding chosen for this brickwork rig, providing our students with invaluable real-world experience that’s crucial for their future careers. This unique training opportunity equips them with in-demand skills, making them stand out in the construction industry.  

Jeremy Hara, Brickwork Tutor, said:

“I’m incredibly proud of the partnership between the college, ABC assessment Centre and CITB in relation to this amassing opportunity for our students. These courses will give our students the skills, knowledge and confidence including installation of wind posts, brick slip systems, installing fire barriers and brick soffit systems and many other fantastic courses. They’re not just building walls; they’re building solid futures.” 

Kegan, bricklaying student, shared:

“I will have more opportunities with the construction industry to gain a career, not only on domestic buildings, but this also now opens a door for me to work on large commercial projects and high-rise buildings.”
