I’ve just completed my locksmith course…

I’ve just completed my locksmith course with train locksmiths in Atherton Manchester and couldn’t be happier with the experience! Mark, the instructor, was absolutely amazing—his knowledge, patience, and teaching style made learning enjoyable and effective. Martin, his son, was equally fantastic—super helpful, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything ran smoothly.
A special shout-out to John, who was brilliant during the experience days. His real-world experience and approachable manner made those sessions both valuable and enjoyable.
Highly recommend this course to anyone considering locksmithing. Top-notch team and an all-round excellent experience!

I recently completed my automotive locksmith…

I recently completed my locksmith training with Train Locksmiths and couldn’t be more impressed. Martin was an excellent teacher and mentor—his knowledge, patience, and ability to explain complex techniques made the learning process smooth and enjoyable. Mark was equally brilliant, generously sharing his real-world experience and tips that you just can’t find in books.

The course was hands-on, well-structured, and packed with practical skills that I’m already putting to use. Highly recommend to anyone serious about becoming a professional locksmith. Thanks again to the team!

New car fob

Looking for a new key fob for my car, found Train and they sorted it asap. No fuss, dead simple. They were courteous and friendly. Cost about 70% less than main dealers as well.
Highly recommend

Diploma in Locksmith and Property Security

I recently completed the Level 3 Diploma in Commercial Locksmith and Property Security with Train Locksmiths, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. The course was incredibly comprehensive, covering everything from key cutting, lock mechanisms, lock fitting and gaining entry.

Mark and Martin, the instructors, were absolutely outstanding. Their subject knowledge is second to none; both have years of experience in the locksmithing industry, which they shared freely throughout the course. They have a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts into manageable sections, making it easy to understand even the most technical aspects of the subject.

The teaching style was engaging, and they created a supportive and interactive learning environment. Whether it was practical hands-on training or theoretical lessons, they made sure we grasped the key concepts and felt confident applying them in real-world situations. They were always available to answer questions, provide advice, and share tips and tricks that you can only learn through years of experience in the field.

I highly recommend the Level 3 Diploma in Commercial Locksmith and Property Security at Train Locksmiths to anyone looking to deepen their skills and knowledge in this field. Thanks to Marks and Martin, I now feel fully prepared to take on commercial locksmithing and property security projects with confidence.

Having just completed the commercial locksmith Diploma with Train Locksmiths I have no hesitation in recommending this course or training company to anyone thinking about doing likewise .
The subject knowledge presented by the instructors was second to none and was pitched in a relaxed but very professionally way. Their wealth of experience and knowledge was evident in everything we were taught.
