Did the PTS course in Warrington just before Easter (4 wks) found it very worth while but also hard work - there is much more to it (tiling) than I realised. I have done lots of leg work with card drops to initiate my first few jobs and things are starting to happen but I find that I am working long hours for my income, though I am in an area where tilers are much sought after so my pricing will be "developing" quite quickly.
I find it's taking me much longer initially to complete work than I first thought, as being a 1 man band, the follow up ancilliery stuff to the actual tiling - cleaning your work as you go along, keeping your tools and equipment and not least, the customers property clean is very time consuming. The work doesn't generally finish when you get home at the end of the day either, more cleaning, administration and research for prices and other jobs is important also.
Not that I am trying to put you of, the job satisfaction when you have finished the work and then get your money - and usually praise form the customers is very gratifying.
Give it a go but go in with your eyes open. Best of luck.

PS if you go to Warrington, say hi to Chris from "Mr Super Self Critical" for me.
