Hi everyone, I'm happy to have found this place, since there are a lot of experts here, maybe someone could help point me in the right direction.

I'm 24 years old, looking to start working in the jewellery industry as a bench worker and maybe move on up from there.
Found a course taught at a place called "In The Studio Jewellery" in Lecestershire, UK , it's a week-long course for beginners, I'm booking it for next week.
My question to you is: should I look for an apprenticeship afterwards or start work directly? Any kind of info you can share is deeply appreciated.

Thank you, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you
