That's why people like me (who can't afford to sit around for four years while learning) did a short course. If there was an intensive 6 month course with some real experience (i.e. going into houses supervised) I'd have much preferred to have done that, but 6-8 week courses are all there seem to be at present (except the few proper apprenticeships for whipper snappers.)

In pretty much all jobs, you're continually learning on the job. This applies to both managerial as well as practical hands on work; it's a combination of learning the theory and then putting it into practice.
The most important thing is to know your limitations and don't assume you know it all. Work within your limits and accept some jobs will take longer than it should, but you hill learn from it!
Everyone has different circumstances, so either route is good!
