Locksmith Courses
1) INTRODUCTION TO OUR Locksmith COURSES
Our Locksmith courses run over 2, 3 or 4 days. They are intensive with an excellent ratio of students to tutors and with no written work.
The locksmith course cover the everyday life of a mobile Locksmith.
The locksmith courses will be extremely beneficial for anyone setting up as a mobile Locksmith, thinking of setting up in business, trying to get into a Locksmith company or just interested in the subject of Locksmithing and would like to know what it’s all about.
There is NO written work whatsoever. It is completely hands on as this is the best way that you will learn. You can take notes if you wish but course notes are supplied upon completion in your closing pack. We are great believers in that you will only learn something if you do it yourself. There is no point in our tutors covering a subject and then moving onto the next without the student actually completing the subject themselves.
Our Locksmith courses average 4 students in the class so that you have maximum attention from 2-3 tutors.
2) COURSE DURATION
Locksmith courses start every Monday on a weekly basis from 08:30 to 15:30 hours. Times may alter depending on how the class get on and whether breaks are taken so we may finish earlier.
3) COURSE COSTS
The 2 day locksmith courses runs from Monday – Tuesday. Price ONLY £695.00 including VAT
The 3 day locksmith courses runs from Monday – Wednesday. Price ONLY £895.00 including VAT
The 4 day locksmith courses run from Monday – Thursday. This is the 3 day course plus the 1 day UPVC advanced mechanism course. If buying with the 3 day course you get the 4 day at just an extra £100 at a total of £995 including VAT.
You are more than welcome to come and visit our training centre at an arranged time before booking. This gives you the option of checking us out and seeing for yourself how good the training is before you actually pay. There is no obligation to pay anything for this option.

We are your one-stop Locksmith company. You can join the UKLA without any fuss, purchase tools and stock immediately or whenever you feel ready. We have an excellent 24 hour 7 days a week helpline service which is excellent back up for you and your company.
You do not have to take any exams or complete any more unnecessary courses after completing the one course with us thus saving you a lot of money for which you can spend on other sides of your business.
On completion of the course not only will you be ready to start immediately but you are also awarded the recognised certificate which enables you to purchase ALL Locksmith tools and stock from suppliers all over the UK. You will be given locks from us so you can practice once you have finished the course.
We can also supply you with Locksmith tools and stock IMMEDIATELY at trade price so that you can practice right away.
We sell a huge range and amount of key cutting machines cheaper than anywhere else in the country. We give guarantees and next day free delivery.
Our training centre is purpose built for Locksmith courses. Everything has been perfectly designed for optimum training.
We have all the tools and safety equipment so you will not be asked to bring anything. We have two tutors who give maximum attention and have a world of patience so you are really getting value for money. Once you have completed the course you will view this as an investment rather than an expense. You’ll earn this back within 3 to 6 quick jobs.
You’ll be surprised on how much you can learn in two – three days! And as mentioned earlier we have an ONGOING FREE helpline so if you have any questions then we’re only a phone call or e-mail away. It doesn’t matter what the questions are, we are here to help.
There is a lot of work out there for Locksmiths. Wherever you are there are millions of people near you in your city, town or village. Everyone of those people has AT LEAST one key that they can lose, leave in their house or break in their lock. This means a quick, easy and profitable lockout situation for you.
For example there is 7.5 million people living in London with each person owning an average of 3 keys. That’s a possibility of 22.5 million keys / locks that will need to be dealt with at some stage.
Locksmithing isn’t just about people getting locked out. You can supply and fit lock swap overs, additional locks, lock upgrades, repair locks, arrange keyed alike services (one key fits all locks) plus so much more. With Security being a major issue the public are beginning to add security to their homes and offices. Garages have become a major issue lately and we show you what is available to fit at the moment.
5.1) UKLA CERTIFICATION
The certificate that you receive upon completion of the locksmith course is recognised by all the Locksmith suppliers throughout the UK. This is required in order to purchase your lock picking / opening tools as well as your stock. You receive comprehensive notes at the end of the course that gives you a breakdown of what to buy especially if you are on a budget.
5.2) NEW CAREER OPPORTUNITY
Locksmithing is a very well paid occupation. Depending on what area you are in you could charge anything from £50-95 per hour labour + parts and materials. If you decided to attend a late call out (often an emergency) then you’ll be getting double or treble depending on the circumstances.
This is of course totally up to you on how you run your pricing but we do discuss costings and prices on the locksmith course. When you have such little overheads (normally just a van, tools, stock and phone) you can see how profitable it is to be a Locksmith. We have taught students who are now earning over £60k pa.
5.3) ADVANTAGES
We supply you with a list of companies who will supply you with sub-contract work as well as advice on how to get private work.
We supply you with a detailed full colour drill point manual. This is required if you are drilling out a mortice lock (like a Chubb lock). The manual is a massive help in these situations as we have colour pictures of the locks, where to drill and also a picture of the mechanisms behind it so you can easily bypass it.
Unlike some other courses this is included in the price. You will be using the key cutting machine so you will see how easy it is to cut keys. This is an extremely profitable part of the business. Some mortice (like a Chubb) key blanks costs under 60p and you could charge between £5.00 – £12.00. Cylinder (like a Yale) key blank costs 10p and you can charge between £3.00 – £9.00. Not bad for two minutes work.
We receive excellent feedback from students who have attended our course and we are very proud of this.
