[Lockpick Dan]

I got lessons 1-15 today .

I am on lesson 26. I bought a kwikset repinning kit real cheap and have done a couple of residential re-keying jobs. It is worth the money, but your education has to come from many sources. I got a couple of books on residential and commercial knob locks which will help until I am completely familiar with the locks.

I can't find my student id number either. I guess i'll have to call them tomorow.

WOO HOO!!!!!

Just got the final lesson report card (26-30) and I passed!!! Now on to the other courses like advanced locksmithing, etc. I will let you know how the other courses are compared to the basic locksmithing one but I have a feeling they will be just as good.

Just wanted to share that I made it throught the first set of lessons (1-30)!!!!

lock_assassin...breathing a sigh of relief!!!!

Hello everyone. Firstly I'd just like to say that thie is an excellent site.
lots of usefull information.
Did anyone end up finding out if they will send the FB course to some one in Australia ??? i would be very interested.
Thanks

[Guitar_J]

I think they will... Look up at the top of this Forum, there is the "Foley Belsaw Order Form"... it is for foreign students

[swiftden]

Hello after doing some research here in Australia i have found that Stotts College of Correspondence does a similar course to the AB Course. had any one heard of it or done it ??

lock_assassin: I had to take a break from my course due to family issues and i just got to finish 26-30 and send it in. Im waiting on the results now, I was wondering did you receive anything(ie: a certificate) when you got your results?

[Luke]

Yes i know about the Stotts course costs about 1500 and is now recognised by MLAA

[swiftden]

Luke i spoke to the Master locksmiths association and was told that it is not recognised. I have not heard from Aust & NZ assoc. yet..

[Luke]

Once you successfully complete this course, you'll be eligible to apply for recognition as a provisional member of the Master Locksmiths Association.

Thats from the Site, and it definately is recongnised by the ANZLA because i know a smith in it.

I just got the results of the tests. I have not paid in full yet so I won't get the diploma until I am paid in full. If they send a good enough price break to pay the rest I will but otherwise I will continue to pay by the month.

I got my results for 26-30 back today and i passed although i didnt receive a diploma with them, they came regular mail. Maybe its sent out differently.
