I've just started my gas mlp course , I'm starting to doubt whether I will get a job at the end since I would need experience, I know a couple of people that would allow me to work with them after I have finished my course. I'm aiming to be self employed at the end
 
Good luck. The course is, as you have realised, the easy bit. Get thinking about how you're going to complete your on site portfolio. Now imo.

We are given 18 months to complete it, plus I know many gas engineers. Main priority is actually understand and practice what I learn
 
I’m gonna be honest, if you pass the course and then go self employed without at least a year of experience as someone’s apprentice, you’re gonna really struggle/fail.

Complete the course, work along side someone for 2-3 years, then try self employed.
 
I think you are better doing an apprenticeship. You will learn far more during 5 years than you will in 10 struggling alone. In my experience people who 'self teach' make mistakes and they can be dangerous.

What is your ultimate aim job wise?
