Keytek Locksmith Training Academy

"I recently attended the locksmith course with Tom at Keytek, and it was by far one of the most informative training courses I’ve been on. I’d completed a locksmith course several years ago, but Tom still managed to teach me a huge amount. He showed better methods than I’d previously learned, explained the reasoning behind them, and shared countless practical tips and tricks that you simply don’t get from a textbook. The course was very hands-on, which made a massive difference. There was enough theory to understand why things work, but it definitely wasn’t a boring “death by PowerPoint” day. The majority of the course was practical, giving everyone plenty of time to use the tools and techniques themselves. One thing I really appreciated was Tom’s honesty. He never tried to push a particular brand or tool as if he was sponsored. He simply spoke from experience about what he personally uses, what works well, and why. That made his recommendations feel genuine and trustworthy. Lunch was provided, the day was well organised, and even after the course Tom made it clear that support was available, providing contact details, technical help, and advice on tools whenever needed. Overall, it was a professionally run course with an outstanding instructor. I’ve already fed back to both management and senior management that I believe every responsive maintenance operative should attend this course. The knowledge and confidence gained are genuinely invaluable and will undoubtedly benefit both the individual and the organisation. Highly recommended. Leigh"

"I recently completed this locksmith course and couldn’t be happier. As a veteran, I found the course well suited to ex-military personnel looking to learn a new trade and build practical skills for civilian life. I learnt a huge amount of information throughout the course, both practical and theory, and I now feel confident in my knowledge and abilities to go out into the industry and start working. Tom was an excellent instructor — extremely knowledgeable, professional, and clearly very experienced in the industry. He also has a great sense of humour, which made the theory side of the course much more enjoyable and engaging. He kept everyone interested and involved, making it easy to stay focused and take everything in. The course was very well organised, informative, and delivered in a way that suited both beginners and those with some experience. Another benefit is that they also offer opportunities to join their work network afterwards, which is a fantastic pathway into employment once you’ve completed the training."

"Completed my training here and couldn’t fault it. Tom (the instructor) is knowledgeable, patient, and highly experienced. Excellent workshop and learning environment, covering both practical and theory to a high standard. Admin support was just as strong—course loading and ELCAS handled seamlessly. Sophie and Becki were efficient, responsive, and on top of everything. A solid setup for anyone serious about getting into locksmithing. Delighted with the course and its accreditation."

"Just completed the 8day locksmith course. The training was very hands-on and practical, and Tom consistently checked in with the group to make sure everyone understood the work and had the chance to ask questions. A really good course for anyone serious about getting into locksmithing."

"This is one of very few courses where you learn a lot in such a short period, the amount of skills covered was impressive, especially when you consider it’s 8 days long, it is very much zero to hero. Everything we did and covered was brand new to me and everyone else on the course and your confidence is built up all the way to the end, the environment was relaxed for the most part, which made learning feel natural rather than forced. I would definitely highly recommend this course to anyone considering getting into locksmithing, it’s also important to mention that the support doesn’t just stop after the course has finished, it does continue even after passing to give you the best chance at succeeding in your new locksmithing journey."
