Intake starts August · assessments now

You already have the degree.
This is the route.

A Level 2 trade qualification is the fastest legal way onto a British construction site — and for an engineering graduate, it is the way in, not the ceiling.

The question everyone asks first

Why would an engineer
lay bricks?

Because in Britain the trade is how you get onto site — and being on site is how you rise. The tools are respected there; many of the people leading the work started with them in hand.

You would not be starting at the bottom. You would be starting with both the skill and the education.

01 — ENTRY
Qualified tradesperson
Level 2 qualified and able to build. This is where the £33,400 sits — day one, not the summit.
02
Chargehand
Leading a small gang. Setting out, sequencing, checking work — what your degree already trained you to do.
03
Supervisor / foreman
Programme, drawings, materials, safety. Reading a drawing properly is rare on a British site. For you it is normal.
04 — WHERE IT LEADS
Site management
Many of the people leading British sites came up through the trades. You would arrive with both the trade skill and the engineering education behind it.

This describes how the UK construction industry works — supervisors and managers there routinely come up through the trades. It is not a promise about your career, and BTI does not arrange promotions.

What it pays
A qualified bricklayer’s role in the UK carries a minimum salary benchmark of around
Tk 55 lac
a year — around £33,400

You already know what your skills are worth at home, and what a few more years may bring. Our work is to help you reach further — with the trade skill and the certification a UK employer recognises.

SOURCE
A published UK minimum salary benchmark for a qualified bricklayer. BTI confirms the exact figure and its source before publication.
CONVERSION
Converted at the prevailing GBP–BDT rate. The rate moves; the pound figure is the one that matters.
HONESTLY
A benchmark, not an offer. What you actually earn depends on the employer, the region, the hours and your experience.
Why the trades, why now

Britain is short of skilled hands.

Not short of degrees. Short of people who can build. The work cannot be moved offshore and it cannot be automated. That is why the pay is what it is.

An ageing trade workforce
A large share of Britain's tradespeople are close to retirement. Fewer young people are replacing them.
A national housebuilding programme
Housing targets that cannot be met without more bricklayers, plumbers and electricians on site.
Repair, retrofit, energy
Britain's existing buildings have to be upgraded. That is decades of hands-on work.
UK employers value proven, practical competence. With your education and the right training behind you, that is a strength you can build on.
How it works

The whole route, from today to work-ready.

Six steps. At every one of them, you take a step and we take one alongside you. You are never doing this alone, and never in the dark.

1
You get in touch
You
One message on WhatsApp. No form, no fee, no commitment.
BTI
A real person replies, in Bangla or English, and talks you through honestly whether this is the right path for you.
2
You come for assessment
You
A one-day English assessment first. If you pass, you are invited to a fourteen-day residential aptitude test.
BTI
We look at your English, then your coordination, care, patience and how you take guidance — and set out the full cost with you, clearly and in writing.
3
You move onto campus
You
You live here for the length of your training.
BTI
Accommodation, meals and a structured day, on the same site as the workshops.
4
You learn the trade
You
Hands on the tools every day, with the time and support to get the work right.
BTI
Instructors who have worked to UK standards guide your work as you go, and always let you know where you stand.
5
You learn to work in Britain
You
English for site, safety, and how a UK site is actually run.
BTI
Taught alongside the trade from week one, because on site they come together.
6
You finish work-ready
You
You are assessed on what you can build, and you leave with a Level 2 qualification.
BTI
We support you with the steps that follow. Support — never a guarantee.
What happens at the assessment →Compare the two programmes →

What comes after training is support, not a guarantee. BTI does not promise a job, an employer or a visa — and we would always rather be honest with you than raise hopes we cannot answer for.

Inside the programme

You live on campus. You work with your hands every day.

A day at the Sylhet campus
Residential, in Sylhet
A built and operating campus with accommodation, meals and workshops on the same site. You are not commuting across the city to a rented room.
The training day
Early start, most of the day on the tools, evenings on English and site conduct. Structured, demanding, and the same every day on purpose.
Three things at once
The trade, the English you need on a British site, and how a UK site actually runs. Taught together, because on site they arrive together.
Proof

Things you can check for yourself.

The institute
A registered Bangladeshi company, not an agent working from a phone.
Licensed to operate as a training institute. Documents shown on request and at assessment.
A campus that is built and running. Come and stand in it before you decide.
Training leads to a Level 2 qualification, assessed on practical competence.
For your family

আপনার সন্তান কোথায় থাকবে, কে তার দেখাশোনা করবে

Where your family member will live, and who will look after them.

This part of the site is written for parents — the people who support the decision, and who are right to ask careful questions. Read it in Bangla, and talk to us. A real person always answers.

Supervised and supported
A residential campus with staff on site. Attendance and progress are recorded, and we are always glad to share them with you.
Fed and housed on campus
Accommodation and meals are part of the programme, on the same site as the workshops.
Safety is taught, not assumed
Site safety is part of the training from the first week, to a UK standard — because that is the standard your family member will be working to.
You are welcome to visit
Come to the campus together for the assessment. Look around, and ask us anything you like. Nothing is paid that day.
What it costs

You pay nothing towards a programme before the assessment.

Assessment first
Come, be assessed, and find out together whether this is the right path for you. Nothing towards a programme is paid before that point.
Explained face to face
The full cost is set out for you and your family in person, at the assessment, and in writing — every line of it.
Instalments are possible
Payment can be arranged in instalments. We will explain exactly what those are before you decide anything.
Questions

The questions a sceptic asks.

Training leads to a Level 2 qualification, assessed on practical competence — a UK vocational standard measured on what you can actually build, not on an exam paper. We will name the awarding body on this page as soon as that is confirmed in writing.
