Help!

Well at last i,ve decided what i want to do workwise, i ,m gonna try my hand at tiling. Can anyone recommend a good informative course that also covers the business/self employed side of things? I,m in south yorkshire but i,ll travel anywhere for the right course.
Is it possible to start up on my own after a 2 week course? has anyone here done just that? i,ve done basic tiling before, nothing fancy just the odd bathroom wall etc.
Do you have to have a van or will i get by with my 4x4 for now?

I,m sick of making other people lots of money and really want to give this a go,i,ve done professional dry lining etc up until recently when i decided to try other things that i decided wasn,t for me. i,ve always worked with tools can measure accurately etc, i just want to do something for me now!
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
THANKS!

Have a look at a trainnig centre based in Staffordshire at [DLMURL="http://www.tradeteacher.co.uk"]The Plumbing Skills Centre Limited[/DLMURL], they offer advice in business startup and dealing with customers etc.
You should be able to obtain advice on starting your own business from places such as business initiatives which offer free advice as they are funded by the government.
