Best Locksmith Association?

[james5345]

What is the best lock smith association to belong to? Bearing in mind i'm learning the trade, but would like to belong to an association.

I'm in the UK if that helps....

Thanks in advance

MLA or ICL mate. Anything else is a waste of money regardless of what they tell you.

Cheers dean, I have sent ICL to ask if i can become a student member even though i am self learning.

[Dean W]

No problem.

also look at their forum:

You can also join the MLA as a self teach student.
