The Masonry course prepares students to lay building materials such as: brick, concrete block, pavers, to construct or repair walls, and other structures. Students will use trowels, levels, hammers, chisels, masonry saws, mixers, and other necessary hand or power tools of the trade. Fundaments of masonry include the information and basic skills necessary to build from blueprints: residential, commercial, and industrial structures. The goal of the course is to prepare the student for an entry-level job in a variety of areas within the building trades. The Masonry units are written to the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) certification standards.
