Latest Testimonials
"Hi my name is Gordon Dickinson a recently qualified locksmith soon to be trading as 'GSR locksmiths' in Newcastle upon Tyne, thanks to the brilliant training provided by Train Locksmiths Ltd.
I run a key cutting shop in Gateshead so was pretty familiar with keys and locks but only ever the cutting aspect! A natural progression for me was to consider the next step and become a locksmith. I done a lot of research into the courses on the market (of which there seems to be many) but none of them had the appeal Train Locksmiths Ltd did after I seen their website. Informative, helpful, though, easy to follow and in depth I quickly realised this was the course for me.
I booked a 7 day (House, Industrial, Commercial & Automotive) locksmith course and was not disappointed. Starting your first day you realise that it's going to be a busy week but a fun and productive week there was only 3 including me in the class which made it a very personal feel and you know you're onto a winner when there's a cup of coffee made for you before you even get started. (and many more to follow through the week which is always good)!
Mark the instructor set out the plans for the week but said at any point if we needed to slow down or wanted to go over anything we were unsure of then all we had to do was ask. His training technique for me was perfect, easy to follow, very hands on and done in such a way you quickly find things click into place. We had 5 days on domestic locks, cylinder, mortice, padlocks etc then 2 days on car locks which were a massive bonus for me as that's a field of locksmithing i am looking to pursue.
We were given all the tools needed to do the training and the job for real after we had trained but we also were given what i think is a fantastic bonus with Train Locksmiths Ltd which is the aftercare. The fact there only a phone call away is reassuring especially when you're first starting out and as a supplier of all the stock, machines, and tools you will need you know you really have got everything in place to go on and start up your business.
I would defiantly recommend Train Locksmiths Ltd to anyone out there who is looking to get into this area of work. Honest, friendly, helpful and most of all good at what they do means you will not be disappointed. I know i wasn't. "
Gordon Dickinson, Newcastle (Graduated 2010)
"I am Chris Bingham and have recently achieved the NCFE Level 3 Enhanced Locksmith qualification with Train Locksmiths Ltd. I have been in the Army for 16 years and have spent the last 10 of those as an Instructor in Military Skills and Defence Instructional Techniques.
Due to the extreme cut backs across the MOD, The potential for any service person to complete a full 22 years in the job appears more & more uncertain every day. In order to stay ahead of the cull and prepare for the worse, I needed to formulate ideas regarding what career path to take when the inevitable comes?
I was drawn to investigate the Locksmith trade after chatting to a local locksmith who attended a job on camp. He was there for about 20 minutes & charged an absolute bomb to re programme a digital lock! Shortly after this an onsite locksmith was sent to gain access to an accommodation room to which keys had been lost. It was educational to say the least; after being there for over an hour chiselling, hammering & drilling; he finally gained access. The lock itself had been transformed into what resembled a used figure 11 from an electronic target range at the end of a regimental range package! He told me that I didn't need a course to be a locksmith, (you just need to know where to drill) as he left, I swear he was whistling the tune to Bonanza as he spun and holstered his smouldering cordless drill. Clearly he was no locksmith and he doesn't work there anymore! But I was wondering of what it took to be a real locksmith.
I did some intense research, found Train Locksmiths Ltd and called them up. Clearly a good move, Karen & Martin pointed me in the right direction with all the necessary paperwork required and were more than helpful every step of the way. And then there is Mark:-
Being an instructor myself it was nice to be the other side of the desk for a change. He is a fantastic instructor who puts every student at ease in a totally relaxed environment with first rate facilities and training aids. Mark made the experience an absolute pleasure by pitching the instruction at just the right level for all. He was able to adjust the teaching style when required and always found a different way to explain the technical aspects, so that everyone kept up and grasped the practical application of the subject. Overall, an exceptional, humour packed week with an excellent, experienced instructor who gives 110% to the students.
I would recommend this locksmith training centre as the first and last choice for anyone who is thinking of a career as a locksmith. "
Chris Bingham, Army Skills Tutor (Graduated 2012)
"Train Locksmiths Ltd has been training our franchisees for 7 years now and we are always impressed with the quality of their locksmith skills and knowledge after the initial training course. Your flexibility is appreciated as the incorporation of a boarding course into the locksmith programme was welcome.
Many of your students are now happily picking, fitting and identifying locks and keys for customers all over the country making your course an instrumental part of their locksmith ability to run a successful franchise. I know of at least one franchisee who has returned to receive your auto locksmith course to add to their house, industrial and commercial skill base. Thank you for your help, it is very much appreciated."
