Learn our prayer: While NEWLO accepts students from all denominations and faiths it is felt that the prayer of St. Francis is applicable to any faith.
Refresh your math skills: Many students are surprised at how much math there is in the trades! But you need to know your angles to be a plumber and you need to be able to understand ratios to mix cement. Here is a great site to help you practice trades math.

Brush up on your reading: All trades require some level of literacy. Garment making requires you to read a pattern, commercial cooking needs you to be able to read a recipe. Any reading helps to build this skill. If you travel through St. George there is a free library available to any Grenadian called Mt. Zion Library, across from the cruise ship mall.
