when you ask if you learn to pick all BS3621 locks, you are told that this is not necessary as an expensive exercise, better to drill, or this used to be the sales patter.
you are told in the advertising that you will be given a certificate of approval, approval? they know you will be good up front regardless of whether you can pick locks or not.
2 factors spring to mind, if it sounds too good to be true ( you will know enough to start work immediately following course) then it probably is, and if you need to advertise courses on ebay then you are not well known enough to train by reccomendation and to recognised bodies.
truth is you will be no where near a locksmith after the course, but at the begining of a steep learning curve, you will have an uphill struggle to succeed most dont, though those properly trained and dedicated will make it.
i would certainly avoid anyone stating you will know enough to be a locksmith after the course, i would avoid anyone who miss spells their own testomonials, and i would stick to respected known trainers.
The choice is yours, but looking at the training on offer, i suggest you will learn as much from this site for free and from the ebay cd's for pennies than you will from course, but make up your own mind at end of day.
