Auto training course

Wondering which locksmith course to take? Looking for locksmith license info for your locale? This is the forum for you.

Auto training course

Postby Jimjam-101 » 31 May 2014 19:02

Hi all, not sure if I'm posting in the correct place or not lol. Have been trading as a locksmith for many years now doing domestic and commercial work. I'm currently looking for a good automotive training course to cover car opening, decoding, key cutting and programming. I know this isn't a cheap side of the industry to get into, which I'm prepared for. Just looking for a good quality course in the uk and not get ripped off by the dodgy ones. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, jimmy.

Not really.

The basics are the basics no matter what you are working on. It does not have to be vehicle specific until you get into programming.

Your best bet is to find another lockie from another city and pay him to teach you. Should take about 2-4 weeks of shadowing him depending on how quick you pick it up.
