Editing Bricklayer (section)

==Required training==
Professional bricklayers usually go through a formal apprenticeship which includes about three to four years of on-the-job training combined with classroom instruction, though some bricklayers may learn entirely from on-the-job experience. Unions and employers may offer [[apprenticeships]], which allow individuals with little or no experience in bricklaying to learn fundamental skills under a more experienced employee. Contemporary masons in many countries must attend trade school and/or serve apprenticeships in order to complete curricula signifying that they understand fundamental related concepts such as the effects of humidity and water ingress, [[thermal insulation]], and general knowledge regarding the science of construction materials, as well as occupational health and safety.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Job Information |url=https://careerswales.gov.wales/job-information/bricklayer/skills-and-qualities |access-date=2023-12-17 |website=careerswales.gov.wales}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Become a Bricklayer {{!}} Key Skills, Qualification & Salary |url=https://www.lcb.ac.uk/find-a-course/careers-a-z/bricklayer/ |access-date=2023-12-17 |website=Leeds College of Building |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Bricklaying apprenticeship Level 2 - Find an apprenticeship |url=https://www.findapprenticeship.service.gov.uk/apprenticeship/1000203407 |access-date=2023-12-17 |website=www.findapprenticeship.service.gov.uk}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2018-07-06 |title=Foundations of Success as a Bricklayer {{!}} Builders Academy |url=https://buildersacademy.edu.au/building-and-construction/foundations-success-bricklayer/ |access-date=2023-12-17 |website=Builders Academy Australia |language=en-AU}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Bricklayer: Occupations in Alberta - alis |url=https://alis.alberta.ca/occinfo/occupations-in-alberta/occupation-profiles/bricklayer/ |access-date=2023-12-17 |website=alis.alberta.ca |language=en}}</ref>
