How to become a masonry apprentice?

The qualifications that you need to start a job as a masonry apprentice include the physical abilities to perform the work and a high school diploma. Masons need to lift 30-45 pounds and handle heavy bricks or stones throughout the workday. Some employers prefer applicants who have experience in general construction, labor, or landscaping. Apprenticeships can last for several years, and most include classroom work as well as on-the-job training. Training includes OSHA-approved safety classes. After completing the apprenticeship, you achieve journey-level status.
