i did the same course in april, cant fault it atall :yes: if you cant find anyone to help then only thing i can suggest is buying some tiles and practising what you've learnt, do work for families and stuff for experience, wish i had more time practice but my speed is picking up without me realising it, tho i must be realising it since i just realised it enough to mention it.. hmm... :joker:

You could make up a mock bay and buy some cheap tiles, then tile with them for 12 hrs per day but it wont really prepare you for the real thing. Dealing with customers, customers changing there minds guy's who know nothing about tiling questoning your work, builders tellng you to "just do it" even though you know they are wrong, having to prep walls that should allready be ready for you to tile, customers staring at you and your work for the duration of the job because they are old and bored and have nothing better to do, kids asking if they can get a shot of trowling the adhesive just after you have mixed it and its going off:furious3::furious3:

Still want to be a tiler.

Good luck mate
