Bricklaying PDA

Course code 94K2

What is special about this course?

The PDA in Bricklaying provides further development of competences which you will already have achieved through the SVQ programme. It gives invaluable practical experience and knowledge should you aspire to other professions in construction outside the role of a developed craftsperson, such as supervision and management.

Completion of your PDA will also give you the opportunity to progress to an HNC which will further develop your hand skills and more specialised and traditional craft skills.

Special features

  • The course will equip you with an increased knowledge and understanding of the construction industry; you will also advance your craft skills
  • On successful completion you will have increased flexibility and options should you wish to progress into supervision, management or technician areas

Entry requirements

  • PDA level 6 or an SVQ in a relevant trade, such as Modern Apprenticeship Bricklaying 
  • All applicants must be in full-time employment in the trade
