Dave
Connect Housing
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.
Bill
Ashton Pioneer Homes
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.

Relaxing in Bradford when not Locksmithing
Being a locksmith is a demanding job that requires attention to detail, quick thinking, and at times long hours. The challenges of the profession can make it difficult to prioritise relaxation and self-care. Taking time to unwind with family and friends is essential for maintaining balance and reducing stress. Here are some suggestions of ways to relax when not locksmithing in Bradford.
Bradford is a fantastic place to visit, thanks to its excellent range of things to do. While other cities get by through having pubs and clubs, there is much more to Bradford than this alone. Sure, the Saltaire Brewery Tour is a must-try for lovers of a good ale, but there is much more to Bradford than going out for a drink. Instead, we recommend you focus on fun-filled activities such as:
- The National Science and Media Museum
Bradford has a rich history, especially in the media industry. This museum is a perfect example, with many awesome throwbacks to the golden age of video gaming and classic cinema films shown at the Pictureville Cinema location.
- Haworth and Brontë Country
Haworth’s fame is mainly thanks to the Brontë sisters, but there are plenty of other reasons for you to visit this picturesque village surrounded by dramatic moorland. The Brontë Parsonage Museum and the Keighley Worth Valley Railway are must see attractions whilst in Haworth.
- Saltaire Heritage Trail
Follow the Saltaire Heritage Trail, which includes 10 significant buildings and landmarks that were part of Victorian mill baron Sir Titus Salt’s model village when it was established in 1851.
- Alhambra Theatre Bradford
The Alhambra Theatre is the jewel in the crown of Bradford. Built in 1914 and refurbished in 1986 with stunning results. Today, the Alhambra is regarded as the North’s premier touring venue and hosts the best in large scale entertainment from ballet and opera to variety and comedy, musicals and drama.
- The Climbing Hub
Thanks to places like the Climbing Hub, you can enjoy a fun way to spend a day and work up a sweat all at once. If you fancy yourself as a bit of an athlete, try out some climbing activities and see what it takes to make the most of your body. How high can you climb on these fun courses?
- Cartwright Hall Art Gallery
Offering an exciting programme of exhibitions, alongside permanent galleries, including the ‘Hockney Gallery’, dedicated to the work of Bradford born artist David Hockney.
With so many incredible cultural and historic attractions around the city of Bradford, you’ll never struggle to find things to do and see whilst working in Bradford.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to train as a locksmith?
After your initial 3 or 5-Day training, it can usually take a further 12 months to become an experienced locksmith. You will always learn on the job, and you will always have to keep up to date with new products and industry related standards such as lock standards.
The easiest way to begin your new locksmithing career is by attending our comprehensive 3 or 5-Day Locksmith Course which is perfect for beginners who are looking to learn how to become a locksmith within one week. Many of our students have gone on to set up their own locksmithing business immediately after course completion.
I am new to locksmithing, do I need any qualifications to train as a locksmith?
Whilst you don’t need any qualifications to train, you need a desire and a commitment to learn. It always helps if you come from a manual job or background and that you’re used to working with the tools you’ll need.
What course should I take if I'm a complete beginner to locksmithing?
If you are new to locksmithing and aren’t familiar with the tools and manual work, we suggest you undertake our comprehensive 5 day City & Guilds/NCFE Specialist Courses as this will provide you extra time and any additional help you may need.
How much does locksmith training cost?
Our courses vary in price subject to course detail and training days required. Please to call us on 01924 693293 with any questions on the latest prices and availability or fill in our enquiry form.

We are the UK’s ONLY provider of officially Accredited City & Guilds and NCFE Certified locksmith courses. Our accreditations recognise the high standards, process and delivery of bespoke training programmes which no other provider in the UK can offer.
In addition, we also run a range of courses which upon completion students receive our MPL certificate, which because we are the largest training provider in the UK is recognised throughout the industry as the gold standard.
Do I have to be a member of any trade organisations?
No, these organisations tend to be private Ltd companies who are attempting to charge for membership. It is not compulsory to be a member; at the time of writing there are no governing bodies in this industry in the UK.
Why not take advantage of our Competitive Finance Packages?
