I just finished this auto locksmith training and it was fantastic – easily one of the best courses I’ve done. The instructors are real pros with tons of field experience, super knowledgeable, patient and passionate.
Perfect mix of theory and hands-on work. We practiced on actual car locks from major brands using pro tools: picking, decoding, cutting keys, programming transponders, OBD diagnostics, EEPROM, bypass methods – everything from old mechanical to the newest smart/proximity/push-to-start systems.
They explained clearly, step by step, shared real-world tips, common mistakes, troubleshooting tricks, tool recommendations and even business advice to help you start or grow profitably. Small group size meant lots of personal attention and no rush.
The facility was well set up, pace was intense but doable. I left feeling truly confident, with great notes and ongoing support contacts.
If you’re serious about automotive locksmithing, this course is worth every penny. Highly recommend – changed my career for the better! 🚗🔑
10/10 course
I’ve just done the automotive locksmith course with Martin and Mark. The knowledge they have in the industry is second to none. Really detailed and covers everything

The instructors break down diagnostics, picking, and key programming in a way that makes everything feel achievable, even if you’re new. You get hands‑on time with actual car locks, tools, and programming equipment, so the skills translate directly into real jobs.
