Hi, I'm looking to get trained up quick as a brickie so I can get out on site earning dosh. Advice please. 

Where are you based? Here's a few places that offer short courses:

This place sells teach-yourself DVDs:

Or you could contact your local adult education college.

Or your local ConstructionSkills office:

I live in Croydon. 

Hi Clem, you could try this place: http://www.buildertrainingcentre.co.uk/courses/brick.htm

It's by Waddon train station, I pass it every day on the way to work, looks quite a decent set up. Bricklaying courses last a week and cost 350 quid.

Cheers, Will.
 

Yeah, that's not a bad place Will. They do some decent courses.

I don't know how old you are clem92, but they do a number of courses at Croydon Skills and Enterpise College.

There is a course in Brickwork on their website, as well as a number of other construction related courses.

Hope this is useful.

Cheers lads.

It seems gov is offering free courses as well now.
