Sorry Jaclyn to hijack your thread!
I would strongly suggest you try and get some experience alongside experienced tilers. A very fast way to learn.

Also - the single best piece of advice given to me when I started out:
Forget making money at first. Concentrate solely on doing an A1 job - regardless of how long it takes you.
If you ALWAYS return great work, you will build a reputation which will keep you busy - no need to advertise.

Speed and profit come in time. View your 1st couple of years as "learning while earning".

Do many tilers take on trainees?

Do many tilers take on trainees?

no but most are pretty friendly and willing to pass on some skills in exchange for a bit of fetching and carrying!

Haha ok I'll write off to some companies & see what happens.

Also well worth while taking up as much training (sometimes free is you ask nicely) as you can manage.
I'd suggest BAL as a starter... Tiling Training - Book Now | BAL Adhesives
