For example, robberies have increased by 13% in the past three years and occur at more than five times the national average. There were 52,799 reports of burglary in the past 12 months, occurring at almost double the UK average, while almost 3,000 reports of vehicle crime in the same period are almost triple the average rate.
So, with an increased risk of vehicle crime, robberies, and burglaries, Londoners continue to look for dependable locksmithing services to boost security and limit the risks of these crimes occurring.

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.

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.

In December 2018 I sent two of my operatives to MPL for locksmith training. The training was excellent and they have been able to put this in to good use. It has shortened the time taken for evictions and helped us portray a more professional image in front of bailiffs and other staff. I would highly recommend them for training and for purchasing the right tools.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Nicky England and MPL for the fantastic service they provided for locksmith training. At each step of the process they were courteous and very well organised. I sent 5 of my technicians on the 3 day course and it has proven to be not only an enhancement of my teams skills but also a huge saving by being able to gain entry to our housing stock non destructively.
I would recommend MPL to any other customer and give their service delivery and training methods 10/10.
