What You'll Study

Explore the art and skill of bricklaying with our comprehensive course, specifically designed for international students. Learn the techniques and craftsmanship essential for a successful career in masonry. Australia's booming construction sector creates consistent demand for skilled bricklayers nationwide.

Bricklaying courses cover material selection, mortar mixing, laying foundations, constructing walls and arches, cutting and shaping bricks, and finishing techniques. You will also study plans and specifications, scaffolding safety, and the relevant Australian building codes and standards.

Hands-on training in simulated construction environments is central to the program. You will complete practical assessments as you progress, developing speed, accuracy, and the professional finish required by Australian employers.

The course leads to a Certificate III in Bricklaying/Blocklaying - a nationally recognised trade qualification under the AQF.

Cost and duration of Bricklaying courses in Australia

Fees & Timeline

Cost, Duration & Intake Dates

Bricklaying leads to a Certificate III in Bricklaying/Blocklaying, a nationally recognised AQF Level 3 trade qualification. Most providers deliver it over roughly 6 to 12 months of full-time study depending on how the simulated construction training and practical assessments are scheduled. Indicative tuition for international students commonly sits between AUD 8,000 and 18,000 for the full course, varying by provider and location.

Several intakes are usually offered each year, often around February, April or May, July and October, so there are regular opportunities to start. Hands-on training spaces can be limited, which makes it worth securing your place ahead of time.

These amounts are indicative and can change. Active Study helps you find a registered training organisation that delivers quality bricklaying training, then confirms the exact current fees, material costs and intake dates so there are no surprises.

Permanent residency pathway after a Bricklaying course in Australia

Study to PR

Your PR Pathway After This Course

After earning your Certificate III in Bricklaying/Blocklaying, the typical journey is to gain Australian site experience, applying where eligible for a Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) to keep working on the tools while you build the evidence many skilled visas require.

As the course explains, bricklaying is listed on multiple state skilled occupation lists, so the realistic pathway is state nomination through a subclass 190 permanent visa or a subclass 491 regional provisional visa. Whether you qualify will depend on your points, a successful skills assessment and which states are currently nominating bricklayers.

Because state nomination availability and points requirements shift over time, none of this guarantees permanent residency. Active Study's MARA-registered agents will confirm which states are nominating, then structure your application accordingly and map your route toward PR.
