I've been looking online for schools that have safe and vault technician programs but can't seem to find any. If you know of any please let me know. What courses are in the Foley-Belsaw advanced locksmithing as opposed to their basic locksmithing courses? Also what is in their burgular alarm and safe and vault courses?
thanks

Tonight I am a plumber.

I have the toilet ripped up off the floor.

You ever try to work on a toilet in a house with three kids, and all of a sudden you realize that it is true.

Kids will always need to use the bathroom at the worst possible moment.

Right now, I am just trying to get everything back together.

I hate plumbing.

I know the headmaster and a few teachers quite well although havent seen them in years. Max Cherry is the principle and very learned safe and vault technician. The syllabus and courses structure has significantly improved in the last 25 years (since I did my apprenticeship).

For technical knowledge, experience and proficiency training, you have definitely chosen the best training program in the world IMHO.

Awesome I was checking out the website they seem to be extremely well set up so it should be great. Just wish I could start now! Unfortunately circumstances won't allow that but I'll just keep on practicing and playing around my work room. Thanks for the reply globalcockytoo. Are you in Vic? :D

I live in St Louis Missouri, USA.
I did my apprenticeship in Melbourne, worked all over Australia, worked in NZ, UK and some other places. Did some work with defense dept, travelling and servicing locks and safes in different embassies around the world.

Get enough experience and you'll have what it takes for those odd contracting jobs. PAE was looking for a locksmith in Djibouti late last year - six figure salary USD. You could live like a king out there with that kind of money OR you could skimp for an early retirement. Definitely a great profession.
