Bricklayer apprenticeships: Apprenticeships, further training, information and schools at a glance

Bricklayers are specialists in building walls for new buildings, maintenance work, restoration jobs, refurbishments and renovations. They are counted on wherever construction is taking place. They can read complex execution plans and implement them professionally. They are adept at using state-of-the-art machines and traditional hand tools. They ensure the professional execution of concreting jobs with formwork and reinforcement, construct masonry of all kinds and insert special elements and insulation in accordance with planning. Bricklayers take care of the professional installation of prefabricated wall, ceiling, staircase and window sill elements and then plaster them. In addition, they take on jobs involving piping, earthworks and filling work and build shafts. As this work is usually carried out outdoors and often at dizzying heights, professional bricklayers need to be physically strong, in good physical condition and have a head for heights in their day-to-day work.

Do you work as a bricklayer and have no basic training? Or have you completed a completely different apprenticeship, but have been working in a bricklaying business for several years and carrying out bricklaying tasks? Would you now like to complete your basic training with the Swiss Federal Certificate of Competence (EFZ) in order to take on more responsibility in the future, increase your chances on the job market or be better paid for this strenuous work? If you are looking for bricklaying apprenticeships, it is worth taking a closer look at the basic training courses for adults. Various apprenticeships are now offered specifically for those in full-time employment. These basic training courses can be completed without a reduction in workload, as lessons are mainly held in the evenings and at weekends. The bricklaying apprenticeship therefore only lasts two years and is aimed at people with a few years of professional experience in the bricklaying trade. So instead of continuing to look for traditional bricklaying apprenticeships and attending a conventional vocational school with an apprenticeship, take a closer look at the courses on offer at Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch.
