TRAINING
Kayley Dorrington
Training is now high on the
agenda in this industry.
But finding the right course
can be a challenge. Kayley
Dorrington explains what
you need to know.
Training to be a locksmith can lead to a
long and rewarding career. With many
individuals and private companies to
choose from, however, all marketing
their services for consideration,
collectively offering a huge range of
courses, finding the correct locksmith
training provider ‘for you’ can be a
challenge in any situation, within any
industry.
Identifying the correct training facility
and course is absolutely vital and the first
step to gaining success in your chosen
career as a professional locksmith. Before
choosing the type of training that best
suits your needs, you should think about
what are your actual requirements to meet
your own personal objectives.
Ask yourself the following
questions when reviewing various
training facilities and courses...
• Have you considered the full range of
locksmith training available, such as
professional bodies and standards,
individual or group training, gaining
experience in related skills or relevant
work experience?
• Have you considered the different levels
at which locksmith training can be
gained?
• Do you need foundation skills training
and is there the possibility to gain further
specific skills later on to enhance your
knowledge?
• Have you identified your own training
needs to reach your personal goals and
aspirations?

industry in which you are looking to enter
or progress.
