Masonry training in Pennsylvania

7 masonry programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

6 schools offer these masonry programs, and Pennsylvania has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Masonry workers use bricks, concrete and concrete blocks, and natural and manmade stones to build structures; bricklayers, cement masons and concrete finishers, stonemasons and terrazzo workers are all masons. Most need a high school diploma or equivalent and learn the trade through an apprenticeship or on the job; unions and contractor associations sponsor apprenticeships, and many technical schools offer masonry programs, some of them run together with apprenticeship training.1

In Pennsylvania, 2 of the 7 programs take students without a high school diploma and 5 ask for a diploma or equivalent.

By kind, the 7 programs here are masonry certificate or diploma (4 programs), concrete finishing course or certificate (1 program), NCCER masonry level or intro course (1 program) and masonry or concrete (associate degree, 1 program).

How to pay for masonry training in Pennsylvania

WIOA funding can pay for masonry training in Pennsylvania

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for masonry training

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.67

GI Bill for masonry training

Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.8

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Where the Pennsylvania masonry program numbers come from

Which Pennsylvania masonry programs are on this list?

These are the masonry programs Pennsylvania approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Pennsylvania offers.

How the prices and results of Pennsylvania masonry programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.

How reliable are the Pennsylvania figures?

We leave out the share working 6 months later for Pennsylvania: its rates sit far below every other state's, and the counts suggest jobs were traced only for students whose training was publicly paid.
