Cemented as Industry- Leading Association with New Training Programme
»»
INTRODUCED IN EARLY 2016, the MLA’ s change to a Modular Training Programme has been a huge success, not only from a student numbers perspective, but also from a student feedback perspective. In fact, one recent student, Paul Medway, said:
“ Taught by two very knowledgeable tutors who were on hand when ever myself or fellow pupils needed some advice. I really enjoyed the whole five-day course and am looking forward to using the skills that have been taught so well to me. Many thanks.”
Not only does the programme provide a flexible approach to learning outcomes, but it also provides extra value. For instance, students can pick modules to suit their current experience. This flexibility has been a huge success, with positive feedback from students.
Responding to demand from students has meant the course achieved record numbers in 2016 and even 2017; often selling out months before. This achievement has helped the MLA cement itself as the market leader within the locksmithing training arena.
