OK, I had already sent it off. At least it wasn't like it was many hundreds.

Thanks

After putting off completing lesson 31 for about six months, I sent it in. Today in the mail, I found my next lesson, and an Ilco "Pistol Pick."

If anyone else has also put off sending in this lesson, DON'T. :D

I'm not to that one yet. I only finished the first 15 a couple weeks.

I heard those are the easiest ones. The hard stuff is yet to come.

I read that there are 65 lessons in the course. Why are most saying only 30 lessons?

The first 30 lessons are the basic locksmithing course. Then at the end of that, they throw in some 'advanced' lessons for free. I suggest keep sending in every lesson the send you. :D

WOOHOO!!!!

Just paid off my school (bonus from work) and got my Certified Locksmith card already. Diploma is on the way. Wife & kid are going out of town Thanksgiving weekend so hopefully my next set of lessons make it here by then. I will let everyone know how the next set go.

Sorry I haven't been here for a while. Dad had a triple bypass and I have been more concerned about making sure he is ok than anything else. He's doing great so back to business as usual!!!

Jarod,

I still order product mostly from F-B. Thier prices aren't too far out of line. I am sure there are other sources out there, but I have no idea what thier 'turn-around' time is. When I do order something, F-B has it in stock, and ships the items very quickly.

That's the big issue. Price /unit doesn't really matter as much as being able to get what you want within a reasonable amount of time, so be careful when shopping for suppliers.

Well i've been debating whether or not i should order the Foley Belsaw course for about a month now. And i just got accepted for a job and i start next week so i've decided i will. It'll take me a month or two to get enough money to order the course :(

I went to the FB website and filled in my info for the free "Keys to the Future" information kit. When i hit the submit button, it comes up with an error page saying "No Referer". I have no idea what to do, does anybody else know why this is happening?
