Hi & welcome Russ.
As everyone has proffered, your best bet is to befriend an experienced tiler. You will not only benefit from the experience but you will get the chance to ask questions about marketing and running a business, too.
I have had a number of "newbie" tilers join me on jobs and the most common theme seems to be the quality that needs to be achieved if you are to be considered a "Professional Tiler". Your course will most certainly have taught you the technical fundamentals but, unfortunately for you, there is still a massive amount of learning ahead of you.
As has already been said, start with smaller & ceramic jobs until you build more confidence and natural ability / speed. It is a tough climate and there are many experienced tilers that are quoting aggressively to keep their order book full, so you will find it tough to win jobs and even more so make good money.
Good luck and keep your faith.
