The curriculum evolves with industry standards to ensure graduates possess current skills. With small class sizes and expert tutors, we prepare students for successful careers in residential and commercial security.

Specialist uPVC repair courses teach advanced techniques for modern window and door systems. Training covers tilt-and-turn mechanisms, locking systems, and emergency boarding. Graduates gain expertise in non-invasive repair methods. Our status as uPVC door lock distributors enhances practical learning.

Practical boarding-up training prepares locksmiths for emergency property protection. Students master temporary security solutions following break-ins or fire damage. The course covers material selection, safe installation techniques, and customer communication during crises. This essential service helps prevent further property damage while permanent solutions are arranged.

I am a female locksmith who had undertaken some basic locksmith training and had some on-the-job experience. I felt that I needed more credibility in the Locksmith industry and the City & Guilds certificate would definitely help me when attempting to gain private or contract work.
Decided to book a two day City & Guilds course with Multipoint Locks (MPL) National training school, based in Bradford. Drove all the way to Bradford from London and stayed at a very nice hotel, which was organised by MPL.
The MPL training workshop was very well kitted out with everything that a trainee would need to practice with. Also, Mark was a very patient and knowledgeable trainer. The course was at a very relaxed pace and the information that Mark passed onto me, was extremely useful.

In case any force is considering going further down the non-destructive Method of Entry route, we at Devon and Cornwall recently sent 3 instructors on a 3-day Locksmith Course run by MPL in Bradford. Highly recommended it has transformed the way we use Snappers, Pullers and Mica Cards together with opening up new avenues of drilling & picking (you never know!). The course was very bespoke and the instructor more than happy to adapt to our needs. If you want any more info, feel free to contact me. Rich Jenkins
