    I did the 5 day accredited course at MPL training centre. My aim was to start my own company so I could just work for myself. It is now two years since I did the course and I have a thriving business. The training gave an excellent foundation for me to confidently set up on my own. Since setting up my business I have plenty of my own work but I have also been fortunate to receive dome work from MPL over the past 14 months. I have aldo recently relocated and managed to build up business in the new area where I now reside. The help and advice received from MPL has been in valuable. I also buy parts from their shop which are very well priced and the discount they give is a great help. The ongoing help and advice they give after completing the course which is available 24/7 is amazing. I know from experience that people from all over the UK are benefitting from the service they provide.Thankyou everyone at MPL.

    I attended the Ultimate Locksmithing Course a few years ago, and continue to use MPL for tools and parts. In my first year I made frequent use of their dedicated helpline for newly qualified locksmiths - often, this was just to clarify what I already knew or to reinforce my confidence in how to approach an issue. However, having such aftercare at hand was priceless in my early days in the trade. The cost of the course is worth it, also, because if a person is serious about the industry, they will recoup these initial costs very quickly. Overall, a great company, and quite selfless with their expertise.- Jace at JF1 Locksmiths.

    Mpl train locksmiths who haven’t got a clue what they are doing after a few days on a course ! they also train a good number a week and month so where do they expect all the work is coming from to keep the hundreds of locksmiths a year they trainOn top of that they call themselves Wakefield lock and key , Huddersfield lock and key Barnsley lock and key wetherby lock and key Harrogate lock and key …..so good luck to all the locksmiths who think there are getting loads of work once the course is complete when you’re really competing with this company for work in the long run

    A real life changing course for me . I was quite a nervous pupil at first but Marc the tutor has a real knack for making people feel comfortable and relaxed . The course starts of by learning some of the basics and then going more in - depth as the week goes on .By the Friday when I had finished my course I felt like I could tackle most jobs but also I realised that locksmithing is an on going learning process .Every one that I’ve had interaction with through Mpl have been top class , they are very professional but also have a great sense of humour to .I m now working for my self and that’s something I’ve always dreamed of and that’s down to mpl for giving the knowledge and confidence to do that .I’d definitely recommend this course 👍👍👍👍👍many thanks Aaron

    I completed the 5 day Locksmiths course with the City and Guilds Accreditation attained at the end.I was a complete novice and coming previously from the military I had Nil experience of any trade except a bit of DIY.The Instruction from Gary was logical and progressive and pitched at the right level for all, including experienced fitters and tradesmen who were also there to refresh and revise.The Business Start up and Lock picking were particularly good and there was no question that was too much for them to answer.I have attended many courses over the years and this one rates among the top. From the admin staff right up to the MD they were very helpful and friendly, right up to delivering lunch to your desk!Many Thanks and I will be returning for the Auto Locksmith Course.

    I did the 5 day specialist course. Elizabeth was extremely helpful and did not push the course at all. Just answered all the questions I had. The course was very informative and covered all the things I needed. Marc was really knowledgeable and ensured that the content was properly understood by everyone. He didn't just explain what to do, he also explained why. Excellent all round.

    Title: An Outstanding Learning Experience with MPL Locksmith CourseI recently had the pleasure of enrolling in the MPL Locksmith Course, and I must say that it was an exceptional learning journey. Under the expert guidance of my dedicated instructor, Marc, and the invaluable support of the office staff, Amanda and Debbie, I gained a wealth of knowledge and practical skills that have truly transformed my locksmithing abilities.First and foremost, I would like to commend Marc, my teacher, for his exceptional expertise and dedication to teaching. His passion for locksmithing was evident from the moment I stepped into the classroom. Marc's vast industry experience shone through as he effortlessly conveyed complex concepts and techniques in a manner that was easy to understand and grasp. His teaching style was engaging, encouraging active participation, and ensuring that all students felt comfortable asking questions. I greatly appreciated his patience and willingness to provide one-on-one guidance whenever needed, allowing me to fully comprehend and apply the course material effectively.Furthermore, I cannot speak highly enough of Amanda and Debbie, the office staff at MPL Locksmith.

I particularly appreciated the emphasis on practical skills, as we were given ample opportunities to practice various locksmithing techniques under the expert guidance of Marc.One aspect that truly stood out during the course was the provision of high-quality tools and equipment. MPL Locksmith ensured that we had access to the latest and most advanced tools used in the industry, allowing us to gain firsthand experience and develop proficiency in their usage. This commitment to providing top-notch resources further enhanced the overall learning experience and prepared us for real-world locksmithing scenarios.The supportive and collaborative learning environment fostered at MPL Locksmith was another highlight of the course.

    UPDATED REVIEWFollowing the 5 day course I couldn't wait to return to MPL and complete all the remaining courses. AUTO, ACCESS CONTROL, TILT and TURN and LOCK INSTALL courses. These were perfectly delivered by Gary..... and wow, just wow.... What a tutor he is!! 47 years in the trade. What he doesn't know about locks and locksmithing isn't worth knowing.... Gary's instruction and guidance is second to none. I've spent 27 years working for a global leading pharmaceutical supplier: who were awarded the 'investor in people' award, but Gary is a different level.... Can't recommend MPL and Gary, in particular, highly enough...It was great to see Liz, Debs and Alex too who were as helpful as ever.....Look forward to hearing about new courses that MPL add to the agenda.ORIGINAL REVIEWAttended the 5 day C&G accredited Locksmith course with MPL. Why did I pick MPL? Primarily, accreditation, location (70 miles) and google reviews. Having checked out their website further , I decided to give them a call; immediately on speaking with Elizabeth (Liz) i decided that I was booking on to the course. As well as being enjoyable, the course gave me the chance to learn new skills/ theory and put them into practice. Marc (instructor) demonstrated all the techniques and keen that the students participated and understood what a Locksmith may encounter in the field.All the staff were great , providing information, support , reassurance and banter (of course) keeping the atmosphere friendly and open. A big shout out to Liz, Alex and Debs who are a real credit to MPL, and to all the support staff . Can't wait for my next course....Highly recommend!!

    Just completed the 5 day City & Guilds accredited Locksmith course. A well structured course with a good balance of theory and practical training throughout. Our instructor Marc was great, teaching in a relaxed, patient, informal way. All questions were well answered along with real life experiences that help your understanding of the topic at hand. Everything is well organised and friendly with Alex, Alex and Liz keeping us fed and watered. Unlike other courses I have been on it is obvious the MPL team genuinely care about the course they provide and the ongoing after course assistance they provide for all students.

    Would highly recommend to anyone looking to start a career as a locksmith! 👍 🔑🔐 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Just completed my 5-day City & Guilds accredited Locksmith course.
    From start to finish you get a professional, friendly and efficient service, nothing is too much trouble and it's all very well organised.
    Accommodation is booked for you; lunch is provided and drinks throughout the day.
    The tutor is excellent too, patient and very good at explaining each procedure. You don't feel rushed throughout the course and there's ample opportunity to ask questions, recap on what's been done and get one to one help. Everyone involved in delivering the course clearly have a genuine passion for what they do and when a student gets it right you can see how much it means to the tutor.
    While I know it is now up to me to practice and make a success in the Locksmith trade I have left with genuine confidence, knowledge and drive thanks to Marc our tutor.

    A big thank you to everyone at MPL!

I went from complete novice to knowing several ways to get into every type of lock in the space of 5 days! I cannot recommend this course enough. Also every member of staff is very friendly and welcoming.

    The information you receive before the course during and after is second to none. I learnt so much during the week and mark was very patient with all of the questions I had.
    Everybody is so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. I hope to attend another course soon and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend MPL to anyone looking to get into locksmithing or to purchase and related products from them.

I walked in on Monday with no knowledge of locksmithing, Marc’s training is absolutely outstanding. He has buckets of knowledge and delivers it perfectly. I have come away fully confident that with the ongoing support from MPL I could hit the road running. All the staff from the ladies behind the desk to Marc who delivers the training have been absolutely brilliant and I would recommend them 7 days a week. Absolutely over the moon with this course.

    As someone coming into this industry with absolutely no previous locksmithing experience, this course is perfect.

    Having done quite a lot of research, I quickly realised that there are many companies out there offering locksmith training and promising you the earth, but to be honest their reviews speak for themselves.

    I came across MPL Locksmith Training through a recommendation. What attracted me to the course was that they offer a structured City & Guilds and ncfe Accredited course, which gives you all the necessary technical and practical skills to start operating as a Locksmith from day one.

    In addition to the theory and hands on practical training, at their dedicated training facilities in Wakefield, they also give you business start up advice. This includes a review of all insurance, legal and administration requirements. They cover all aspects of advertising your new business to get you up and running as quickly as possible. MPL give you all the necessary contacts to register for sub-contract work, which is a great way to get up and running in the early days.

    The practical hand on training is superb and their trainers are all practicing locksmiths who know the industry, locks and tools inside out. Our instructor Gary, was superb. No stone was left unturned and if we didn't understand something then we didn't move on until we did, absolutely brilliant. In addition to the trainers everyone from the office staff right up to the senior managers couldn't do enough for you.

    There is a full review of what tools you need, stock to carry and the pro's and cons of different vehicles in this industry. I was also impressed with the fact that there is no hard sell with regards to tools and stock, unlike some companies out there. You get advised on the essentials, and by the end of the course you understand exactly what tools and stock you need for the type of locksmithing that you are going to specialise in.

    At the end of the course you are provided with a 24 hour manned technical helpline. If you are out on a job and just need some guidance (no matter what time of day) someone is always there to help. Absolutely invaluable service, especially in the early days whilst you are finding your feet.

    And if that still isn't enough, MPL supply to the industry and offer a trade counter and also next day delivery service on parts and tools. As a course graduate you will be provided with a trade account offering you all their stock items (including specialist tools) with a trade discount. If you need help identifying say a UPVC Gearbox or mechanism, they are on hand to provide you with a suitable unit. MPL is a distributor of high security 3 Star locks. Not only are we trained how to fit and gain access non destructively to these locks, but you are able to purchase these locks at a significant discount. This gives you the opportunity to offer a complete high security upgrade service to your customers.

    As a Locksmith you are in a unique and trusted position to help customers gain access and secure their properties. To give your customers confidence in you, MPL provide you with a Personal Identification Card which not only reassures your customer about your competence, but also demonstrates that you have a genuine reason to buy and carry Locksmith tools for example if you were stopped by the police.

    Overall, I wanted to make sure that I had a sound foundation from which I could build a new career in Locksmithing. You need to be professional and organised. MPL Locksmith Training gives you all the skills and resources to start a successful business, and this is underwritten not just by the fact that they have attained and run a City & Guilds and ncfe accredited course, but the ongoing support structure that they have put in place for their graduates is second to none.

    Just complete the 5 day city and guilds with MPL, great very informative and well presented by Gary. Opened my eyes a lot to how much is invloved in gaining entry to commercial and private properties, both in- destructively and destructively. If your looking for a training centre to hone your skills, look no further.
    Can't praise these guys enough, thank you MPL....

    Hi all, I did my locksmiths training with MPL back in august and I would recommend the company to anyone who is considering a career in the industry. I have since setup my own small business known as Shore Lock Homes. The biggest advantage I have found of using MPL is that even after the training is over the team in the stock office and more so the trainer Marc are always at the end of the phone to help solve any problems you maybe experiencing. Marc must be bored of hearing my voice by now as some days he hears from me three or four times, but in wanting to see me have a successful business he has all the patience and knowledge in order to help me and you fledge as a locksmith.
    Again thank you to all the team at MPL

    I have just finished the 5 day city & Guilds locksmith course and would highly recommend this training centre. Given the outbreak of covid 19 they made every action to make you feel as safe as possible. The training it’s self with handled in a relaxed atmosphere where you where asked very often if you had any questions which really help you engage and think about what you where doing. All the staff where friendly and would do there up most to help you out. Marc the trainer that had taken the class I was on, made a huge effort to make sure we know what we where doing and made very clear what if we had any questions, just to ask at any point.

    I would 100% recommended this course and company

    I can't thank the MPL Training staff enough. I recently completed the 5 day City and Guilds Locksmithing course and from the outset Nicky and the team were fantastic.
    Prior to booking the course Natasha and Nicky were more than happy to answer the long list of questions I had and helped advise the right course for my personal circumstances. Once I arrived on the course I knew I had made the right decision choosing to train with MPL. I was blown away by the amount of knowledge and professionalism of the whole team. Gary was extremely knowledgeable and as he coached us through the week I got a real sense of his depth of knowledge but also his willingness and passion in passing his skills along to us. I feel confident now with the tremendous support from MPL, not only on the course but after it, I can start my new career as a locksmith which I have now done.

    This course has changed the direction of my life and If your thinking of becoming a locksmith I really can't recommend it highly enough

    Just completed the 5 day course today with mpl. At the start of the week I was dubious about how you could become a locksmith in 5 days. The training we had is intense and very knowledgeable, I'm confident to go out on my own now. The staff were great and Marc was a brilliant tutor made everything so easy to understand what was what. With the social distances and P. P. E it didn't make any difference to the level of training we received. The added bonus of knowing these guys are free to call 24/7 for advice even after the course makes stepping into self employment that much easier just knowing that they are there for you if I should get stuck with anything.

    I completed the 5 day Locksmith course recently and found it to be very thorough and quite intensive. I've been self employed for many years in a different industry and felt this gave me a good skill set to go out on my own. They also offer 24hr back up support which is a massive bonus when your on your own. I believe this course is better than many national franchise courses out there in the market.

    I did the 5 day course here, and as stated the groups are small which allowed Marc to spend a good amount of time with each of us.
    Before this course my knowledge of locks and how to gain entry to them was extremely limited.

    The course helps not only with how you can gain entry, but also how best to market yourself etc.

    Since finishing the course I have set up my business and have been getting steady work.

    10/10 would recommend.

    I have just got back from my 5 day intensive course at MPL, and I have loved every minute. if you want to retrain as a locksmith or add that extra service to your existing company, like i did with my carpenty company, then MPL is the best.

    Marc our tutor for the week was brilliant, I struggled to remember bits, and no matter how many times I asked for help about the same thing, he was always happy to show me again until I got it, nicky the manager at the training school was really friendly and approachable which was brilliant, as soon as I walked through the door monday morning, all the staff made you feel right at home and were brilliant throughout the week.

    The training is really hands on, which was great, I have learnt so much in the 5 days, and I can't wait to get going, and putting what I have learnt into real practice on the job.

    Thank you everyone at MPL I have loved every minute, and will be making use of the help line if I get stuck.

    thanks again,

    MPL have a wealth of courses from basic & advanced locksmith training to automotive and access control. Over the past few months I’ve been working my way through a number of their courses and I couldn’t recommend their services enough. The staff are approachable and supportive. The training inclusive and thorough. Their after support 24 hour and outstanding. MPL are a training organisation that put the needs of their students high on the agenda and always have time for questions and advice. The team have decades of experience across all areas of locksmithing and happily impart their knowledge in order that the new Locksmiths they train get the best start in their new business.

    I had kept looking at MPL Locksmith Training courses for a couple of years and I finally booked the 5 day ultimate locksmith course. Having had a little experience with locks and gaining entry from my previous work I was wondering if the course would be good value for money. It was definitely worth every penny. The training is very hands on in a friendly relaxed atmosphere with a good balance of theory too. It is a well structured course that gives you all the skills needed to be able to go out and start your own business after the 5 days.There is also accommodation available if you are travelling a distance. If you are considering doing a locksmith course then I would highly recommend the 5 day ultimate course at MPL with the City & Guilds and Corgi Fenestration accreditation.

    From the moment i rang MPL i had nothing but satisfaction from the accommodation and training at Thornes park at the end of January.Having been open minded about the course and how difficult this would be,our fears were put at ease by the friendliness,professionalism,knowledge and experience of the staff.Books were provided to show and explain the tools necessary and gain entry.Based more on the practical side we still made notes in the books.I totally recommend MPL to anyone thinking of doing the course.You meet the staff and likewise students attending for which there are no more than six students at a time,to demonstrate our skills passed on to ascertain we are able to do this to a satisfactory level, whilst feeling comfortable you are all getting the full attention and at the same level.

    I really wanted a change from the job I was in and didn't want to work for anyone else, I wanted to be my own boss. I looked into becoming a locksmith for a few months and eventually took the plunge. The best thing I ever did. I chose MPL Locksmith Training course has all the reviews I read from all the other training schools, MPL is by far the best. I really enjoyed the course and the trainer really takes his time with you to make sure you get the best from it. The after care once you have done the course is also brilliant. If I have any problem there is always someone there on the other end of the phone to help with the job you are doing. They helped me with marketing my business too to get me fully on the right track. With all the advice and training I got from MPL I did exactly what they told me to do and I earned my training fee back within 7 weeks. I now work Part time in what was my full time job and also work for myself, but hopefully not for long. I recommend MPL Locksmith training centre to anyone wanting a career as a locksmith.
