The Level 3 Diploma in Commercial & Property Locksmithing by Train Locksmiths is undoubtedly what an aspiring locksmith needs: technical detail with hands on application delivered in a gold standard learning environment. From start to finish, the course was engaging, interesting, and fun, without ever compromising on industry rigour or best practice.
The course was exceptionally well organised. It had a clear structure that built competence step by step. Mark and Martin brought vast amounts of industry experience that showed in every demonstration, discussion, and practical session. Their teaching style blended technical precision with real world insight, making complex concepts accessible and memorable.
The training facilities are well equipped, and purpose designed for locksmithing. The tools provided are high quality, well maintained, and representative of what professionals use in the field. This ensured we gained confidence working with the right equipment from day one.
Handouts and reference materials are equally strong. Clear, detailed, and aligned with industry best practice. The sessions were interactive and genuinely enjoyable. Practical exercises were challenging and encouraged problem solving and technical accuracy. I’m sure that the diploma will give a really strong start to a locksmith career. It builds the technical capability, professional mindset, and operational awareness needed to enter the industry with confidence.

I recently completed the Level 3 Commercial Locksmith and Property Security course with Train Locksmiths and had a great experience, I travelled down from Sutton and stayed down for two weeks in an Airbab, well worth the investment. The training is hands on, well structured and gives you plenty of practical experience with a wide range of locks, key cutting and non-destructive entry techniques. The instructors is knowledge is second none, they were patient and always happy to share real industry advice, including setting up your business. I’d highly recommend Train Locksmiths to anyone looking to start a career in locksmithing or develop their existing skills. I’ll be back as soon as possible for their automotive course.

I just finished this auto locksmith training and it was fantastic – easily one of the best courses I’ve done. The instructors are real pros with tons of field experience, super knowledgeable, patient and passionate.
Perfect mix of theory and hands-on work. We practiced on actual car locks from major brands using pro tools: picking, decoding, cutting keys, programming transponders, OBD diagnostics, EEPROM, bypass methods – everything from old mechanical to the newest smart/proximity/push-to-start systems.
They explained clearly, step by step, shared real-world tips, common mistakes, troubleshooting tricks, tool recommendations and even business advice to help you start or grow profitably. Small group size meant lots of personal attention and no rush.
The facility was well set up, pace was intense but doable. I left feeling truly confident, with great notes and ongoing support contacts.
If you’re serious about automotive locksmithing, this course is worth every penny. Highly recommend – changed my career for the better! 🚗🔑
