Apologise in wrong forum, just couldn't think where else to put it

Basically was wondering if anyone can give me an idea how to become a dealer? As i think would suit me rather then my office job

1) Will i need to take a course or training?
2) I live in UK, Kent so ideas where to enquire further

Any help or info/sites would be much appreciated

contact local casinos or card clubs, not sure about UK, but in state where I live the casinos when they need dealers will have courses once or twice a year to train.

Thanks will do, need to look at local casinos googled it but sure ill get there in the end lol

I play online & home games monthly so not a completely random idea for a job and just think being a dealer for a couple of years roughly would be good fun, good times & could learn a bit more in the process while getting paid

Find a casino near where youlive that you would want to work in. Start going there and make friedns with some dealers and floor people. Exlian you wish to deal and ask about how to get a job there. You may need to start out in a lower position and work your way up to being a dealer.

I'm not rying to advertise for 2+2 but I found a particular book very helpful to me when I made the same decision you are making. I never attended a formal dealers school, not that I recommend that path to anyone.

The Professional Poker Dealers Handbook co- authored by Mason Malmuth, (Grand high muckity muck at 2+2) is a great starting point. It's available at 2+2 's store.
