Brickwork Level 2

As part of their everyday work bricklayers must be able to interpret technical documents, understand the properties of various mortars and building materials, and understand the basics of health and safety on site. Brickwork Level 2 is highly illustrated throughout and in full colour. It has been adapted from John Hodge's classic Brickwork for Apprentices - the established textbook on brickwork for generations of bricklayers. This new edition reflects new Occupational Standards and includes recent changes to the Building Regulations. It has been tailored to match Level 2 of the current Occupational Standards at Diploma, Technical Certificate and Apprenticeship. Each chapter follows the syllabus and contains a section of multiple choice questions to provide trainees with vital practice for the job knowledge test. The companion website for adopting course instructors includes practical training packs, end tests and mark sheets, power point slides for each chapter, written job knowledge test and answers, and teaching lesson plans and schemes of work. Written by Malcolm Thorpe, past President of the Guild of Bricklayers, who acted as a CITB adviser and was involved in the drafting of the Intermediate Construction Award syllabus (bricklaying route), Brickwork Level 2 will remain an essential reference for qualified bricklayers and other professionals working in the construction industry, as well as NVQ students wishing to embark on a career in bricklaying.
