The Locksmith Training Academy has moved!

As part of our ongoing efforts to provide the best locksmith training we can, the Keytek™ Locksmith Training Academy has moved into a new and improved building this year! The new Academy has received a complete makeover from floor to ceiling, with new comfortable state of the art facilities now fully installed ready for students looking to either embark on a new career within the locksmith industry, or seasoned professionals looking to pick up new skills within their trade from one of the wide ranging courses on offer.

The new Academy opened its doors this week and welcomed the first of its students to the new facility, who enrolled onto the Five Day Level 4 NCFE Accredited Course. The new facilities have gone down exceptionally well with both the students and trainers alike, both commentating on the wide range of improvements made throughout the purpose built facility.

The next step now is to develop and build on the courses currently on offer, providing a wider range of courses suitable for all abilities of locksmiths, ranging from basic non-destructive entry through to advanced 5 lever mortice lock picking courses.

If you’d like to be kept up to date with the Academy’s latest developments please contact one the Academy team on 01202 711195 or email academy@keytek.co.uk.

Where it all began...

The Keytek™ Locksmith Training Academy was officially launched in 2010 welcoming its first students through the door in March of that year. The Academy has grown in leaps and bounds – from becoming a preferred supplier with the CTP in September 2010, to being given Approved Centre Status by the NCFE in February 2012 – enabling us to offer a level 3 Accreditation. Further to this in January 2013 we were given approval to offer an NCFE level 4 Accreditation, the Keytek™ Locksmith Training Academy remain the only Locksmith training supplier able to do so.

We have more courses available throughout the year so if you feel a career as a locksmith would be something you are interested in or whether you are looking to enhance your current skills give us a call on 01202 711 195.

Guest blog post from Locksmith Training Academy student Thomas

Earlier on this year Academy student Thomas took a 5 day NCFE level 4 course in locksmithing. In this guest blog post Thomas talks about his experiences, skills and knowledge in locksmithing of which he has gained whilst taking a course at the Keytek™ Locksmith Training Academy.  

For more information in regards to the courses run at the Keytek Locksmith Training Academy please visit www.locksmiths-training.co.uk

"After recently completing the Keytek™ Academy course I was very impressed with the extent of the skills demonstrated and aspects of the industry that are covered within the week."

"I came to the academy with little to no knowledge or skills in locksmithing and carpentry. The techniques shown by the course trainer were a great starting point and simple enough for me to understand."

"The course content itself included techniques that would be needed for both lock fitting on site and upgrading a customer’s locks to British Insurance Standards. This demonstrated to me the importance of fitting parts that will be in compliance with a customer’s home insurance."

"The course content covered the fitting of a wide range of locks, the destructive and non destructive methods of entry including uPVC mechanisms and wooden doors and how they operate. I left the course feeling that I could happily start working within the locksmithing industry with a great overall understanding of the trade, which has helped me to complete jobs for customers with confidence." 

"A huge thank you to all of those involved, including the patience and care taken by the course trainers to ensure everybody received individual feedback and guidance. In conclusion, I am happy to have passed an accredited NCFE Level 4 course in locksmithing. After taking this course I feel confident enough to carry out the skills taught by the Keytek™ Locksmith Training Academy on the road."
