This qualification is offered by Construction Awards Alliance (CAA) - an alliance between City & Guilds and CSkills Awards and is aimed at learners that have an interest in construction and want to pursue a career in bricklaying.

The Diploma is assessed on practical assignments, unit end tests and an online exam.
