How can I become a block mason?

To become a block mason, many people complete coursework at a community college or vocational school and expand their skills with on-the-job training. You can also find an apprenticeship, which allows you to learn the duties of the role from an experienced master. Qualifications for apprenticeship or internship programs include physical fitness and a high school diploma or GED certificate. Additionally, some programs offer priority placement to veterans. As an intern, you receive technical instruction and practical training in a position which typically lasts 3-4 years.
