Welcome.

Do yourself a favour and find a tiler to take you on!

Hi and welcome.....

Hi & welcome to TF. Seriously, tag along with a competent tiler for a few YEARS & then consider going self employed. There's a lot to learn & after 20 years in the trade, I'm still learning.

Good luck

Welcome - save your money on a 2 week course as I doubt you will find enough work to become self employed as a 'tiler' on the Isle of Wight! It will take at least 3 years to make a living compatible to a barman so use the summer on the island to enjoy life and reflect on your future. IMHO you are too old for an apprentice.

Hi so your saying I won't make enough money on Isle of Wight as a tiler there are tilers there so why can't I do it I really appreciate everyone's opinion what makes u say that about Isle of Wight

There are only 140,500 inhabitants so it's a small population.
As you say there are tilers already there and after a 2 week course you are not a tiler!
As I mentioned at 23 you should be finished an apprenticeship and ready to earn good money now.
The IOW is a fantastic place but it's main output is tourism with seasonal highs and lows, therefore find employment and finance yourself to work alongside a Tiler to gain experience. Good luck.
