I have a question. And I suspect that it would be difficult for the college to accomodate this, but I will ask it anyway.

Does your college give you the opportunity to confront the following:
1. Fitting large format wall and floor tiles (600mm or larger)?
2. Do they have any work bays with deliberately bowed walls, and unflat floors?

I ask because if they do not, then the first job you go on may pose these very obstacles. Fixing tiles to a flat surface is easy. Setting out is easy. Cutting is easy (if you have the right tools). The hard thing in tiling is dealing with large format tiles on poor substrates, and having to try and compensate with building up tile adhesive. They should have you try brick bond on a floor, with 600 x 400 tiles, and an unflat and unlevel surface, just so you get a feel for how much extra hassle, time and adhesive is required to try and make a decent job of it.

Some nice work there, Good luck with the Skillbuild. of course you come against uneven surfaces out in the trade but you have to learn how to do these tasks in the first place before you do them on uneven sufaces etc.
