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 Bristol when not Locksmithing
A locksmith’s job is both demanding and mentally taxing, requiring precision, problem-solving, and extended hours. When taking on these challenges, it’s important to prioritise time to relax and recharge. Spending time with family and friends can help restore balance and ease stress. Below are just a few ways in which to unwind in Bristol.
With so many entertaining events on in Bristol, finding the right things to do can be more challenging than it first appears. If you worry that you might miss out on some must-try activities, give the following a chance. In our opinion, anyone working as a locksmith in the Bristol area should find the time to:
- Brunel’s SS Great Britain
Step aboard the ship that changed the world! With hundreds of sights, sounds and smells to explore across two museums and a Victorian steamship, Brunel’s SS Great Britain offers a full day out for everyone.
- Clifton Suspension Bridge
For any lovers of engineering, the Clifton Suspension Bridge is a fantastic place to start. This covers the beautiful Avon Gorge and is sure to give you some of the best views you will find in this part of England. Take a walk along the bridge and snap some photos of the panoramic views that span all around you.
- Bristol Museum and Art Gallery
Explore the extensive collection of art, nature and history on display in this beautiful building. Learn about the last billion years of Earth’s history, explore the region’s natural wonders and discover more about the lives of people past and present.
- Wake The Tiger
the UK’s largest immersive art experience and the world’s first amazement park. The out-of-this-world experience is a self-guided, walk-through a labyrinth of exploration which begins in an abandoned paint factory before journeying into the Dream Factory, and finally transcending to the OUTERverse.
- Cabot Tower
For the best view of Bristol and the wider area, visit the Cabot Tower. This tower is a stunning place that offers a citywide view while providing a fantastic green area to relax and enjoy some food afterwards. The climb is easy, and the views are simply spectacular.
- Adventure Bristol
Located in the heart of Bristol’s stunning Ashton Court Estate, is the Tree Tops High Ropes course. Whether you’re planning a fun day out with the family or friends or a team-building event, Tree Tops High Ropes is perfect for thrill-seekers of all ages.
Of course, this only scratches the surface of the fun things to do in Bristol. Not many cities in England can rival Bristol for atmosphere, architecture, and style. With so many fun things to do, though, it can be easy to get lost in the choice. Use the above as your guide, and we are certain you will have a fun time!

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to train to become 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.
