Will do jag, but the course is only the start of your learning.
As Prem Tiler says, re the window, you will never come across a window like that, they should have made it difficult for you. Did they (he) show you how to 'set out' a room? ie work out where every cut is going to be before you lay a tile?
good luck mate dont worry if you feel your a little out of your depth especially at 1st, I'd like to here from some one who was 100% confident on there 1st job.
My pooper was a flutter to say the least but it gets easier and your confidence grows.
There was a guy on my course who pulled out in week 6 and decided it was not for him purely because he felt he was too slow and would never make a good living at it. He made a big mistake if you ask me. As long as you have a thirst to learn and are persistent you will succeed. I promise.
I will say your training establishment looks a bloody mess and I'm not overly keen on the setting out method around that window I think they should of taught you how to finished quartering a tile on the corners of the recess. but thats just my 2 penny's worth.
the told me to find the centre of a wall (if there isnt a window there) and then plan out to see what your 'best cut' would be at the end of the wall and either place your first tile at the edge of the centre line or place your tile in the middle of the centre line.
What about height wise, compensating for wonky floors and ceilings?the told me to find the centre of a wall (if there isnt a window there) and then plan out to see what your 'best cut' would be at the end of the wall and either place your first tile at the edge of the centre line or place your tile in the middle of the centre line.

i did the 8 week tiling course at Able a year ago very good course if you need to know anything mate just message meI'm in the same boat as Jooper. I'm about to sign up for a course with Ableskills and have been looking around at videos of setting out etc, but no two tilers seem to use the same methods. I think the hard part is that in my case, I'll be putting a large proportion of my redundancy into my course, and I'm really hoping this will put me in a good position to start out on my own. I'm assuming that all tilers have their own ways of doing things depending on who they learnt from, and previous job experience?
