Newcomer to the tiling trade

[Kevan8919]

Hi there, I'm a recent addition to the building industry after spending 30 years in the IT industry. I have recently completed an introductory plumbing course( 5 days ) and am now on a tiling course ( 5 days) with a view to becoming a bathroom fitter. I would appreciate any feedback or advice on how to go about getting some experience.
I am fairly comfortable with the plumbing side of things and have plumbed in a sink, bath, shower, pedestal basin and bidet. The tiling course is giving me even more confidence that I can make a go of this, although so far I have only tiled a wall with a window, sink and a couple of waste outlets. Not much I know but I'm learning fast.
What I need next is some real work to get me some experience. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks for the welcome. I finish my course tomorrow and will be raring to go and find some work. If anyone out there needs a highly motivated (trained ) novice to do some tiling in the Reading area I will be delighted to hear from you.
