Only three years later, my wife and I have worked incredibly hard to acquire work with strong companies and have secured our business, seeing it grow year-on-year to its current stage of having an additional three contractors working for us.

JP Locksmith Service
Having worked for a high street cobbler since leaving school I developed my skills to an advanced level in most areas covered by the company such as shoe,watch and phone repairs, engraving and key cutting.
I was always interested in the locksmithing side and showed an interest to develop in that area also with the company. The chance never came with my employer which gave me the idea and desire to become a locksmith and hopefully also own my own shop offering cobbler services as well as a locksmith service.

HD Locksmiths
I had a previous career in property renovations which had become all consuming and very stressful. I trained at MPL with a view to getting into a less stressful career so I could spend more quality time with my wife and four daughters.
I am now very busy both as a general locksmith and fitting van locks. My wife is now a part time employee taking care of admin and in April I’ll be employing a fabricator friend of mine to come onboard fitting van locks at our premises.

Diamond Locksmiths & Security
I’ve done a number of different jobs in admin, banking, insurance and transport before deciding to make the break and work for myself as a locksmith.
Within a month of ‘graduating’ I’d already earned what I’d paid for the course and within two months I was fully up and running with a viable business and all of my tools and hardware paid for.

Security First Locksmiths
Since doing my training, I have gone on to start Security First Locksmiths, based in Eggborough, and even in these early stages have found a good rate of development and success.
I opted to do The advanced Locksmith Course, Automotive Locksmith Course, Boarding-Up and Access Control Course. My thoughts were, the more strings to my bow the better and I have since been proven right!

Accurate Locks & Glazing
I researched into what training was available and decided to use MPL in Wakefield due to the good reviews on their website and the qualification they offered.
I found the course very informative, the tutor Graham shared his wealth of experience and knowledge with us and enabled me to complete the qualification and learn how to become a locksmith and expand my business, which now includes a number of apprentices.

Lemon Locksmith
Having made the money back that I paid for the course very quickly it’s looking good from here!
I did the full 5 day course with MPL and found it great. Marc the trainer really knew his stuff not just on the technical side but the business side also (many locksmiths are perfectly good but don’t know how to market etc, knowing this is just as important).

The class sizec as small so you got plenty of one on one time with the tutors, the ladies who sort all the admin and enquiries were very friendly and excellent at what they do getting all your certificates and start up tools organised.
The lunch provided each day was great too.
Overall I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this course or MPL as a training company.

I recently completed a training course that was certified by both NCFE and City & Guilds, and I can confidently say it exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, the course was well-structured, professionally delivered, and packed with industry-relevant content.
The tutor was highly knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely passionate about helping students succeed. The materials were clear, up-to-date, and supported by real-world applications that made learning practical and engaging.
Having both NCFE and City & Guilds accreditation gave me complete confidence in the quality and credibility of the training. These respected bodies are known for their high standards, and this course absolutely lived up to that reputation. The certification has already opened new doors for me professionally and given me a solid foundation to build on.
If you’re looking for a trusted, recognised qualification that will truly enhance your skills and career prospects, I highly recommend this course. It’s a worthwhile investment in your future!
Big thanks to Mark and the MPL team love Duane.

My training course began on 16th June '25' & from the get go it was just an brilliant experience. All the ladies in the office welcome you in, making sure you are settling in ok, sorting out your lunch requirements, letting you about the facilities and any other info you need regarding the course or what Wakefield had to offer after class.
My instructor for the week was Marc, you could not wish to meet a nicer guy. After hour of meeting Marc I felt like I had known Marc for years. Once you do the meet & greet, explain your knowledge you get straight into your first training task.
Every task you do is explained very clearly of how to tackle that task. When working with the tools you are shown exactly what to do and with no pressure put on yourself to complete that in a quick time. Any guidance you require is there instantly, every question is answered so you understand it completely.
Everyday you are served a lovely lunch that you select from the menu, it caters for everyone. There is refreshments anytime of day to add
When the course ends you are given a 100% back up service that if you need tools, advice or any other services it is there for you.
Marc, the ladies from the office are a credit to MPL.
I have and will recommend MPL to anyone who wishes to become a locksmith as this centre is definitely the place to come.
Great work team MPL

Marc was a great instructor. He clearly demonstrated each method, guided us through the process, and then gave us the chance to try everything on our own. It was a perfect balance of instruction and independent practice.
I can’t recommend this course highly enough!

The teacher was Marc. He was very helpful, knowledgeable, and engaging. Ethan from the shop was also very helpful, I contact him regularly for products. Chelsea from HR was also brilliant in advising about the course.
The good thing about MPL is that once you get certified from there, you are a member of the trade club at the shop, which gives you 10% off from all products.
Another advantage of studying locksmithing at MPL is that you get City and Guilds accreditation. It's currently the only centre in the UK that offers the highly respected City and Guilds accreditation.
