entrance into the trade

[rich]

Hi.

I am new here and signed up as I'm keen to enter the tiling trade, and was just generally after some advice. I am 20 years old and have no real experience (only occassionly assisting on D.I.Y jobs at home) I have been looking for work in the north london area, whether it be general labouring or an apprenticeship, and have also considered going back to college to learn tiling. Any advice from your experience?

If you are unemployed then you will be able to get funding for a course so i believe. You may as well start now.

I have just applied for an intermediate city and guilds course at my local college that runs for a year. Do you think this is a good option, or should I be looking at getting into more on-site training?
