What are the classes about? • Learn the knowledge and skills of the fundamental principles and techniques to build structures with brick, concrete, hard tile, marble, and related materials. What skills will students learn? • Students learn to build walls, partitions, outdoor fireplaces, and other structures with brick, concrete, and other masonry materials. • Learn to use hand tools such as trowels, brick hammers, levels, chisels, and rules. Power saws are often used for cutting and fitting bricks and other masonry materials as specified by blueprints. Students will also perform several “hands-on” activities that involve elevation dimensions, layout, squaring techniques, blueprint reading, foundation building, several bricklaying projects, outdoor fireplaces and concrete placement. Academically, students advance through 3-4 books throughout the two years in the Masonry Program. Core, NCCER Masonry Level 1, parts of NCCER Level 2, and Residential Masonry are covered and students test on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. What Certifications are available? • OSHA 10 hour • NCCER level 1 masonry • NCCER Core Safety • Bobcat Skidsteer Training (over 18) What jobs/job titles are available to the students after graduation? • Bricklayers Union • Concrete Finishers Union • Laborers Union Students may also decide to work non-union with their skills or even open their own small business! What work skills will be needed for these jobs? • Mathematical • Enjoys working with your hands & physically strong • Strong concentration • Strong motor skills What skills should a student have to be successful in your program? Students interested in the Masonry program at PCTC should have good motor skills, math skills and above all else a WANT TO LEARN attitude. Students will also need to be drug free. MASONRY The Masonry program revolves around eight courses where students gain entry-level skills in laying brick, block, stone and placing concrete flatwork in accordance to A.C.I (318). The Masonry program focuses on careers that will build a knowledge base and technical skills in all aspects of the Masonry industry. Masonry studies the art of bonding several different types of units with mortar for use in building structures, encompassing the tools and techniques of bricklaying, concrete work and stonework.
