hile it’s still considered acceptable for masons to learn on the job, there are programs that specialize in masonry courses and techniques. Many such programs are offered through the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftsworkers, the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), or the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC). Additional information on these training programs is available through the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) at
www.nccer.org/findCenter.asp.
The Masonry Contractors Association of America (MCAA) has also compiled a list of recommended continuing education programs.
