About Trade-Ability
Trade-Ability was founded by Leigh Sanders who served with the RAF Regiment for 24 years. With his Service experience and going through resettlement himself, he is fully aware of the Service Leavers mind set.
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!
40% 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.
We are ideally located within 30 minutes of many RAF camps in Lincolnshire and fall under a radius of under 50 miles for Army camps around Nottingham and south Yorkshire.
Contact us early to arrange suitable dates and completion of paperwork. Forces discount is also available.
