About Trade-Ability
Trade-Ability has a very short history so far as it was only formed in September of 2007. It was founded by Leigh who is a serving member of the RAF Regiment. With 24 years of Service experience and going through resettlement himself, he is fully aware of the Service Leavers mind set. He too, has been through the same hoops you may be going through. What skill to learn? What course to go onto to learn that skill? Where do I stay and at what cost?
These questions are simple to answer because here at Trade-Ability we don't gloss over the facts. What you see is what you get. Leigh has been a student on part time college courses and attended 5 day intensive courses himself. So he knows how they are run and some of their failings. He has listened to the comments of the other students and formed his own opinions. Armed with this knowledge, we like to think we have created the right syllabus and setting ideally suited to give you the best possible course available, including the price! There's always room for improvement, and we welcome all feedback, good or bad. However, we are yet to recieve negative feedback, and work hard so as not to!
50% of our clientele are Service personnel whom normally carry out multiple courses as part of their resettlement grant. If you are in your resettlement period, your Standard Learning Credit may also be utilised. Contact us early to arrange suitable dates and completion of paperwork. Forces discount is also available.

Accommodation
Trade-Ability will not offer you courses with accommodation thrown in. However, we can assist you in finding accommodation locally to the workshop. Their are numerous B+B's that offer comfortable facilities for a charge of around £55 per night. If you are not using resettlement funding, there is also basic but comfortable amenities available at £30 for a single room with twin rooms at £40 per night. This includes a hearty breakfast. You may also consider temporarily staying at one of the several RAF camps located within 20 minutes of Newark.
Newark is a friendly town with all the facilities you'll need to make your stay enjoyable. It is easily reached just off the A1 so has fantastic road and rail links keeping commuting time to a minimum.
