Level 2 Bricklaying

I have enjoyed everything at NHSC, the tutors are nice and

I’ve made loads of mates. I have acquired lots of new skills in

Bricklaying and really enjoyed it.

I trained for my Level 1 and liked it so much I moved to NHSC

to complete Level 2. I like building something out of nothing

and everything you need for the course is at NHSC. I would

recommend the College, it’s very friendly.

The tutors are always there if you have a question. The tutors

are always there to help you if things go wrong, helping you to

get it right. Do a full year before you decide what to do next,

stick to the course and give it a chance. I have been involved

in enrichment, given a talk to Park Lane School, with another

student, explaining what the course is all about and worked

on some bricklaying projects for local organisations. The

centre has helped me do bricklaying charity work to get used

to working. What next? …I’m staying on at NHSC and studying

for my Level 3 B ricklaying.

Summarise�your�experience�in�5�words!�…Energetic, fun and

confi dence boosting!
