About The Budget Locksmith Course
The Budget Locksmith Course is aimed to get you up and running as a locksmith business and doing work but on this course you also have to do some of the hard work to get it to that stage as we restrict the man hours our team spends creating the business and relies on yourself to do some of the grunt work. This keeps the course price down. We show you exactly what to do and you will carry out each task at home in your own time.
​
The training is in our lock lab, hands on and on a real home or businesses along with real practice doors. If you are visiting our Newquay site in Cornwall then you will have the opportunity to work on the holiday park buildings, offices, shop doors, composite and UPVC and under take the Toe and Heeling course which is only available at our Newquay training room.
​
The business side of this course is very basic, we will point you in the right direction of further free training and online training but you will be in charge of things like your own business plan or how to use spreadsheets. We still include all of the legal training along with home and business insurance regulations training to BSI training, health and safety etc. The invoicing system is easy to use and a simple app we designed to be used on your mobile phone that sends professional invoices to clients. It will be up to you to create a customer database for further marketing as we don't integrate this in this course.
​
We do build you a simple main landing Google business page and a 6 page budget website like the one in the image with easy contact one push phone calling so that when a customers finds your site they can click the number and call you direct, its a basic website that works and will have a our full SEO package to make sure it ranks on Google. We will build all of your online business along with social sites and maps listings plus much more. Visit Blue Reef Designs website who will be building your website to find out more by clicking here.
​
You will get a full logo designed by our designers at Blue Reef Designs, this can be used to create business cards and work clothing to sign writing vehicle. We will also have a custom advertisement design created that you can use to further your business.
​
You will receive a budget locksmith tool kit, the kit is designed to get you through the first few years of trading but its a budget based kit with budget tools, such as we miss out the lock puller that costs us £600 to buy on its own, we use a lower cost electronic pick gun instead of the £400 version, we also do not include DIY tools, this alone saves money and where we can we will include an alternative tool but over half the tools are still high end, the most important items have to be of the finest quality.
​
We will also not send as much stock, you will get a few of the most common items, locks, hardware mechanisms and so on to get you started in the business then once you sell one lock you invest that money into buying 3 or 4 locks and grow your stock.

Thinking Long Term with 24 Support
Your Home Training Package
For you to be able to learn from home means that we send you our latest in home training package. This is a specifically designed home training locksmith kit that you can setup in your backroom, shed or garage. Ideally away from interruptions but with good WIFI as you will need a laptop to complete the online sections and receive video calls from your LTTA certified instructor.
Your kit will have everything in it you need to learn from foundation based locks that we have repined to allow the difficulty level to increase as you move stage by stage and learn skills such as lock picking. We have included many multi point mechanism as you will be mastering these with multi point being the majority of todays work. You have a repining mats to protect your work space and keep your screws and pins on the mat when taking locks apart to lock picking vices and many items of hardware that we will train you on. You will make home jigs following our online instructions so you then have your own lock lab picking jigs that you can perform entry skills on. We also include a plug and play webcam that can plug into any laptop on work via our video calling app along with a tripod for your phone. This allows us to be able to carry out online training and see your hands as you pick and work on locks and your own doors and windows.
We Include a Locksmith Tool Package
.jpg)
Its easy to buy the wrong tools. Many tools sold online are for emergency entry by the fire service etc. If we were to use them them for our business they can cause future issues that you would have to pay for due to warranty issues. Yes they can get you in quick but it will allow other components to fail within the coming days. that you will have to pay to repair. We supply all the technical locksmith tools you require to undertake the course and trade as a locksmith and the tools we do not supply are the tools that you can eventually add that will make your job easier. For example on a none budget course you would receive a mortice lock jig but on this course you would use chisels, drill and hammer to do the same job. You will still b e trained in the mortice jig but you do not need it to do the job. However it is something you could add later. The reason is, we hardly ever fit mortice locks to virgin wooden doors. Normally a joiner would do this way cheaper than a locksmith. So its not an essential tool. But you will have all the tools that would allow you to operate your new business and also learn how to use and work with our tools kits. We offer the most comprehensive tool set on any locksmith course valued at over £800 at trade price. If you bought these separate you would be paying well over £1000 plus.
Budget Online Business Package
We have a partner business called Blue Reef Designs who are a website and online business development company that have launched over 120 online businesses since we bought them out 15 years ago. That's 4 full business each year for 15 years that take around 3 months each to develop and launch along with 60 budget based business that take around 1 month each to develop and launch. We do this so you don't have to. One it would cost you well over £2500 to £10k depending on your requirements and how long it took with most developers charging a rate of £25 to £120 per hour and just on the lower rate at 8 hours a day for a month is £4000. We take care of it as part of this package and we have BLD create you an online business, that's all social pages, Google business setup, apps and more to make sure your business can be found online the number one place people go to when searching for a locksmith. We use the latest in AI Artificial Intelligence to create the perfect recipe for online success which in turn will bring in the calls for work. You still need to convert them calls into jobs and then money but our business development package will also train you in how to do that plus much more! Find Out More Here!
Hands on and Online Locksmith Training
LOCKSMITH TRAINING
We have a specific training style and it works, its produced the best locksmiths in the UK and the reason for this is time. Time is the key to all locksmiths becoming good at there craft. Everything takes time. I could give you a guitar and 3 days of training and then say go and play a headline set with Guns and Roses and you would suck, fail and get boos and negative reviews. Well that's what happens why you buy into cheap 3 day courses. You do not have time to learn, the skills your trained in are old, out of date skills. We know this as we have done every course in the UK to product test them for research. Our courses start online with a foundation training. We do this as you can learn in your own time at your rate and not trying to keep up with a class of 6 or more. You can rewatch the videos as many times as you want. You will actively research information and learn with one to one training via video calling. We do this so by the time you come into our lock lab for your hands on training you will have already passed your foundation level 1 exam and you will be ready to take on your level 2 and 3 locksmith training. As part of this course you will receive 5 days of hand son training before you return home to carry on your online locksmith training as we prepare you to start your level 4 master locksmith award. You can start trading at a level 3 award but carry on training while while working so you can then gain bigger contract work such as forensic locksmithing, covert entry and more. On this course you will 15 weeks of training along with a 5 day locksmith training course. That's more than any other provider in the UK or the world and its because we are not just training locksmiths. We are responsible for also creating you a locksmith business and putting you in a position online to make money. So we have to train your correctly! Our reputation depends on your success!
Our Locksmith Business Package!
24 Months of Career Coaching!
.jpg)
Our business package will not only create a full locksmith business for your and bring in work but it will also train you in dealing with work correctly and legally. We will train you in consumer law, insurance regulations and business regulations to health safety, risk assessment to how the locksmith business actually works, from advertising and how we market ourselves to bring in actual work and why paper advertising is dead. We will develop a marketing strategy for you based on the issues you will encounter such as stiff competition, going head to head with million pound plus businesses for work online. How to take phone calls and what to say using simple loose scripts to make sure you do not under quote or over quote. How to take a phone call enquire into a face to face meeting and then how to quote to get the job. You then use your locksmith training to complete the job and then you will use your business training to take payment, generate an invoice to dealing with none paying clients and how we work with our terms and conditions that our solicitors will create for you. This alone would cost you over £1450 in solicitor fees but we include this in our business package as we need to train you in them and consumer rights. You will also undertake courses in Data Protection, public liability and we will meet the requirements of the GMLUK to earn you your Safe Contractor Approved badge which has a strict code of conduct and strict criteria but only Guild of Master Locksmiths accredited locksmiths will carry this badge on your online business and physical business. There is too much to name here in what we will train you in and once your training has ended we are there for 24 months after your course should you encounter any issues. We can then coach you through such issues!
Locksmith Business Legal Training and Consumer Law
Its easy to get caught up in a legal web, customers that wont pay, invoices outstanding to fraud. When your business is created we will cover all areas of the legal training from creating bespoke terms and conditions which bought separately would cover a £1450. We will look at copyright, image and brand trademarks and making sure you are protected along with public liability insurance to home insurance and business insurance regulations, fines and pitfalls to keep you and your business safe. We will look at DBS / CRB checking and working with the police and much more!
​
You need to understand building regulations and the UK law for dealing with Homes of Multiple Occupancy and fire rated hardware regulations and the UK law to consumer law and creating contracts for work. Locksmith is more than just fitting and changing locks. Them locks have stipulations and rules based around safety and fire regulations, insurance regulations and more. Failing to do these things correctly will leave you open and liable to end up in court and charged or fined. We need to make sure your business and you are free from business ombudsman issues.
Locksmith Logos and Branding Designed for Your New Business!

What's the Difference Between a Budget and a Full Locksmith Course?
A budget locksmith course is just that a budget based course, you have to do some of the donkey work instead of sitting back and letting the business developers, web designers, logo designers, trainers do all the work. You have to also get stuck in to help get the business read and launched.
​
Below you can see the difference between a full course and a budget course. Things like the time spent on logos are only 4 hours as the designer charges £55 per hour. Once you settle on a design you cant mess around and ask for other designs as this is billed at £55 per hour by the designers, they also have a further 4 hours for the rest of your marketing materials. Your website is a budget website with basic features and its built by Blue Reef Designs, click here to see the type of website you will receive.
​
Everything that's in red in the budget locksmith course list is NOT included in the price but notice how we have manged to keep it very similar to the full course. We have just found alternative budget friendly options.
​
One of the biggest differences is the time and length of the course. Its only 15 weeks maximum which means you have to move at a fast pace and mange your training time at home impeccably. The budget is a level 3 award. The full course is a level 4 award. To be able to attain a master locksmith qualification after 10 years of service you must have had the level 4 award for 10 years. Without it you cant acquire the Master Locksmith Award.

Stephen Fenwick Gosforth Locksmiths
Stephen has been going for around 5 years now and undertook the budget course. Its been a slow builder for Stephen in the competitive Newcastle market. However he has carved himself out a path using the skills we taught him in business and now has a number of contracts with hotels and housing groups. Yes he could have had an easier time if he had chosen the full course instead of the budget and yes he could have gotten there quicker but those way he can say he did the hard work and built his business off of our training! Check out Stephens website and business here!
