i have now sent my first payment to foley belsaw i cant wait for my first lesson to arive! its really neat because the school i go to gives us 900 dollars a year to spend on extra activitys (such as extra classes)
oh and just to clear things up, as i was a bit confused about this too, your not actually a certified locksmith after taking the course, you just get a certificate of achievement.
If your state does not require further licensing you can offocially call yourself a locksmith after completing the course. This course will not teach you nearly everything you need to know, but for the basics it is great. Ther certification will help you gain access to other restricted websites and purchace tools only available to locksmiths.
