Advice needed: how can I get a start in dry lining in Scotland?

Hey all,

I'm 23y, and currently based in Glasgow. I have a fair bit of site experience, having half completed a Site Carpentry apprenticeship (wasn't for me, at that time at least), and have since done various labouring jobs. After lending a hand to some Dry Liners on site I think it is a trade I'd like to take up, but am having a bit of trouble finding courses in Scotland. There seem to be quite a lot for Plastering, but not Dry Lining. I just want to get some professional tutoring and practice hours to build my confidence before starting on site/ on a job, as I've had poor experiences of being pawned off and not taught anything on site when turning up as a complete beginner - for this reason I don't want to go down the apprenticeship route again.

I have family I'm able to stay with in London, and some colleges down there do offer City and Guilds accredited Dry Lining courses for beginners, but they are around the £2000 mark. I don't mind saving in order to invest that money in myself, but I do wonder if employers will be keen to take me on with just this? The end goal is to get an entry level job on site or with a tradesperson so I can continue improving, and working towards completing an SVQ.

Any Dry Liners working in Scotland out there who could point me in the right direction? Your thoughts/ideas will be much appreciated!

Cheers
Cal
