Huge Potential Opportunities for Trained Locksmiths in Nottingham
Burglary and vehicle crime remain constant concerns in Nottingham, with residents and businesses seeking effective security measures to protect their properties.
Even with crime rates falling significantly in the last year, Nottingham still has crime rates close to three times the national average. Various forms of crime exist that are worthy of concern for the people of Nottingham and local law enforcement.
Shoplifting, for example, with around 5,497 reported cases, occurs at close to 4.5x the national average. Meanwhile, growing numbers of robberies (578) and personal theft (581) are genuine causes for fear in Nottingham. Naturally, anyone living in Nottingham wants to insulate themselves from the risk and limit the potential of being a victim.
To help make sure that Nottingham remains a safe place to live, you could train to become a locksmith. Trained locksmiths make a huge difference in how people feel about their safety. Companies and business owners, too, rely on local locksmiths to strengthen their security standards.
You can train to become a locksmith with MLP, gaining professional certifications quickly so you can protect your fellow Nottingham citizens from criminal activity in the years to come.
One of the many benefits of becoming a locksmith is there are many avenues you can go down as a service provider. For example, you could become a commercial locksmith and help Nottingham businesses protect themselves. You can help improve security standards by fitting high-end security systems, such as access control and master key installation systems.
Alternatively, you could focus on becoming a residential locksmith, providing repairs to broken locks, upgrading the locks currently in use to improve security and acting as an emergency callout specialist, helping people gain access when they lose their keys (or have them stolen). Branch out into uPVC lock and door repair or auto locksmithing, the options are limitless.
There really is no shortage of opportunities within the locksmithing profession that you can take on. Once you learn the basics, it is very easy to move into specialist areas of locksmithing and offer your services to the people of Nottingham.
This is a highly respectable, enjoyable profession that gives you a sense of making a genuinely positive difference where you live. You could even start your own business and work the hours you choose. The choices for Nottingham locksmiths are endless!
If you find the idea of becoming a locksmith appealing, let us help you begin your journey into the profession with our team of experts. Simply call us today for more information or to get started with the best locksmith training courses in Nottingham.

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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to train to be 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 be learning on the job, and have to keep up to date with the latest products and industry related regulations 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 businesses immediately after completing the course.
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.
