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 .
