Our colleges all have the same underlying values to give all students great opportunities and a guaranteed high-quality education. We all strive towards the same high values and quality standards, but each offer specific course routes supported by the very best facilities.
We have highly successful colleges. Our excellence is reflected in Pendleton Sixth Form College’s 97% A-Level pass rate, with 66% achieving high grades. Once again, Eccles Sixth Form College, FutureSkills at MediaCityUK, City Skills and Worsley College achieved 99% advanced Vocational pass rate.
Our success is down to our commitment to ensure that students choose the right course and are given all of the support and guidance that they need in order to achieve their full potential.
Students also have the opportunity to progress internally, with a wide range of Higher Education and professional qualifications offered at our University Centre at Salford City College.
You will learn how to use the tools of the trade, how to work safely and make sure others are safe at the same time. This introductory course will help you to learn about these skills as well as the principles of building, block laying and how to do it.
This qualification has been developed for delivery in a training environment; this means that you do not need to be employed to study this qualification.
You will have the opportunity to work on many live projects and benefit from site visits, industry talks and demonstrations from experts. You will also be encouraged to showcase your skills at local and national competitions, including the Guild of Bricklayers Southern Regional Craft Competition.
This Level 1 course is a mixture of practical and theory, with the majority of the time spent in the workshop, developing the hand skills needed to build cavity walls, solid walls, blockwork and the ability to transfer levels.
Our qualification is aimed at people wanting to learn skills in bricklaying, to progress on to becoming skilled in their chosen trade, or to progress through an apprenticeship and work towards becoming a fully qualified bricklayer.
