I would go with Foley Belsaw over that video course. I recommend them because FB is recognized by ALOA to be a legitimate locksmith correspondence training course so after you finish it, it can help open doors for you in the professional locksmith industry like getting subscriptions with trade publications and other "goodies". When I finished the course FB actually offered me a subscription to The National Locksmith magazine. It's not the best trade magazine out there but it's a nice start for a beginner.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

I think you will learn MORE with locksmith video school hands down. But F.B. has been around and is a little more known. But my 2 cents i would do the video school.

I did the FB course, I got some out of it, but other things I have to learn on my own or have somebody show me. Main thing is, if ya think you want to take the course just for the key machine, keep your money, if thats all you want, then you will be highly disappointed, the machine is just a hair better than junk. It's a start, but not a good one as far as the machine goes.
