How many hours does one need for a masonry certification?
I don't know enough about masonry. You would not believe how technical and how much 'book smarts' it takes, there's blue print reading, spec reading...You have to know basic math to read a tape measure to measure your mortar joints.....Half the kids didn't know any basic math to convert the fractions-I taught one kid enough to understand what the process was, but could not get him to understand how to convert them!

It's very interesting to see how a brick wall/block wall is built. I find myself looking at buildings with a new appreciation.


I think it was about 400 hours to get a chance to become a journeyman for a union spot.

I did 78 hours for my basic certificate......

The bad part about my feelings and desire to complain is that he consults and sets up the school programs for MITA, it's a Masoner's institute and there are only a few schools in the area that offer classes, He's part of the system and if I want to keep going I have to deal with him and the teachers he gets to replace him on the next class offering!
