A practical, artisan-level course for site helpers, aspiring fundis and anyone who wants to build sound foundations, walls, floors and small structures. You learn site safety, masonry tools, materials such as natural stone, concrete blocks, bricks, cement, lime, sand and ballast, and how to mix mortar and concrete to the right ratios. The course then covers setting out and levelling, foundations and footings, walling bonds, openings, lintels and arches, damp-proofing, plastering and rendering, floor screeds, paving and simple structures, curing and quality checks, quantity and cost calculations, and starting a small masonry business. The course covers the classroom knowledge of artisan-level masonry; practical skills need supervised workshop practice, and national examinations (KNEC) or trade tests (NITA) are registered and taken separately.
