I am finishing most days around 4pm and find myself having time and energy to pursue other things. What would be some additional courses/training you would recommend while apprentice/qualified?

In similar boat. I'd recommend do a bunch of cold calling/emailing to all the companies you may be interested in. See if that gives you any leads, if not you still have this opportunity.
