Okay... so let's run this over, shall we?
Picking "Yale" type cyliner locks.
Dude - you should be able to do this already. If not, then you know how to learn for free.
Picking Euro and Oval type cylinders (The type found on uPVC doors).
Same as above - why they think it's another skill I don't know.
The use of the Letterbox Tool
So bloody obvious it's amazing - tool goes through the letterbox slot and turns thumb turns etc... take it for an afternoon walk round your mate's houses and you'll pick it up fast.
The use of the Lock Cracker Tool
Again, a very simple tool, and you can teach yourself in less than a day.
Electric and Manual Pick Guns
Say a few days to practice with - should be enough time to get to grips.
Latch Slipping Cards
Order a pack of Mica and find a friend who has a night latch on their door. Simple to learn.
Drilling Techniques
Ok... fair cop on BS locks... SV will sell you a full kit complete with all you need for £100 that will open BS lever locks... but you shouldn't really be using it much.
Broken Key Extractors
Take a practice lock, put a key in, smash the handle of the key off. Play about with the key extractors untill you get it right.
Padlock Picks, including: Shims, Combo Picks, Mini-Knife etc.
Not hard... if you're not a moron you'll figure it out with ease - and he has vids of the tools in action on his site... gleam what you can.
Opening Filing Cabinets
WTF!!?!?!??!?!??!?!?! You don't need training to open simple wafer locks... sorry... that;s crap if he considers it a specific area of learning.
Mortice Locks, including: 2, 3 and 5 Lever types AND BS3621 5 Lever insurance approved locks
Meh... that's something worth a a few pennies, but you won't be able to open BS locks after only 2 days.
The use of Lever wires and picks
My guide on this site will teach you this for free, and also show you how to make your own picks.
The use of the Curtain Wheel Pick
Useful, but the tool is self-explanatory. You will need to practice for a while before you pick open anything more than a Union BS.
The use of the 2 in 1 Pick
Neat... but again you could teach yourself this, and you'll still need to practice after the course is over.
The use of the Tubular Lock Pick
Could be useful... but you just slide all the sliders to the uncut position on the pick, and tighten the O-ring. Insert into the lock and just turn it from left to right. The sliders will self impression and adjust themselves to the right position.
In my humble opinion, this course costs far more than it is worth, and you won't walk away with any tools.
The only thing you will walk away with is a certificate that says you are a bona fide locksmith - which is turd since there is no such thing as a bona fide locksmith in the UK anyway.
Almost a grand on a 2 day course... Do the math.
JUST MHO.
