Hello, I would like to work in construction, mainly interested in bricklaying however I don't know how I should go about it and I don't know anyone in the trade to ask so I decided to try and ask here. I thought of taking a "intensive 5/ 10 day course" from a training provider or college which costs around £500- £1000 to get my foot in the door kind of, but I'm not sure if that would have any relevance to potential employers. Also when I search job websites I notice most bricklaying jobs are temporary/ work for a certain time on some projects, they are not full time jobs, which is understandable and I would like to get qualified and work on sites on my days off from my full time job. Basically I want to combine bricklaying with the full time job that I have after educating myself and being able to do the job although to a basic level at the beginning.
Thank you to anyone who red this, any input and advice is appreciated.
