Become an expert soffit installer! From lightweight modular systems to precast concrete soffits and lintels, get trained on the latest brick soffit solutions on the market today and how to fit them according to manufacturers’ specifications.
On the first day of this course, you’ll learn about the advantages of brick soffit systems over traditional methods, as well as how the latest innovations and technologies allow for their use in buildings over 18m in height. You’ll become familiar with the components used in brick soffit systems, the tools required for their installation, plus Health and Safety considerations such as how to move, handle and store them safely onsite.
On the second day of the course, you’ll have the opportunity to put your knowledge into practice by installing a lightweight brick soffit system to a masonry support angle with the correct positioning, alignment, drilling, fixing, torqueing, etc.
Take a look below at the course structure and delivery method, as well as further information on how you’ll be assessed and what you’ll get when you pass this 2 day Brick Soffit Systems training course.
There are no candidate pre-requisites to take this course. However, a basic knowledge of the reading drawings, the use of drills, fixings, torque wrenches, tape measures and spirit levels/laser levels would be beneficial.
