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 Leicester when not Locksmithing
Being a locksmith is a challenging job that demands focus, problem-solving skills, and long hours. In such a demanding profession, taking time to relax and recharge is essential. Spending quality time with family and friends can help restore balance and reduce stress. Here are some great ways for you to unwind in Leicester.
As the largest city and main cultural hub of the West Midlands, Leicester offers a wide range of fun things to see and do when you are not locksmithing, including:
- King Richard III Visitor Centre
Uncover one of the greatest lost-and-found stories in history! How can the grave site of an anointed King of England be lost? More to the point, after more than 500 years, how can it be found again?
- The National Space Centre
An out of this world experience awaits, where you can explore six galleries crammed full of rockets, satellites, and meteorites. Take in a show at the UK’s largest domed planetarium, and ascend the iconic 42-metre-high rocket tower.
- Leicester Museum and Art Gallery
If you want to soak up the best arts and cultural attractions in the city, look no further than Leicester Museum and Art Gallery. It houses a stunning array of exhibits and galleries, including Dinosaurs, Ancient Egypt, Victorian Art, Picasso Ceramics, and German Expressionism. It also features touring exhibitions, craft events, and a cozy café for a fun-filled day out.
- Bradgate Park
One of the oldest enclosed deer parks in the West Midlands, Bradgate Park is a beautiful outdoor space spanning 800 acres. It’s home to free-roaming deer and towering oak trees, rugged outcrops, and winding pathways, perfect for exploring a virtually untouched part of the English countryside.
- Shop the Highcross
Immerse yourself in Leicester’s biggest shopping centre which brings together over 100 brands under one roof. Here you’ll find all your favourite high street stores and designer names, as well as a host of restaurants and eateries.
- Leicester Castle
While most of Leicester Castle’s medieval structures no longer remain, the Great Hall is still standing, with some of the original 12th-century timber posts intact. Serving as a criminal court from 1821 to 1992, the Great Hall, Castle Gardens, and cellars are now open for public tours. Explore the grounds which offer some of the best scenic views of the city.
Leicester has something for everyone, from idyllic parks to pleasant pubs to historic landmarks, offering the perfect place to soak up the best of the West Midlands in England.

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.
Are your Accreditations and Certificates recognised?
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?
