Locksmith - Despatches

 

Want to be a locksmith? Pick the right trainer …

 
 
 

A1 Safe & Secure has been training locksmiths for over 30 years. Since gaining approved provider status with the MoD in support of the ELC scheme, we have seen many Service and ex-Service personnel pass through our doors.

They have come from a range of ranks throughout the Army, Navy and Royal Air Force. From Privates to Captains to Tornado Pilots … we have trained them all. Having an SAS background, our chief instructor, Bob Curry, uses the EDIP (explanation, demonstration, imitation, practice) approach to training, as we believe this is the most efficient and effective way to teach. This is confirmed not only in the feedback provided from trainees but also by their success after completing the course.

In view of the recent government announcement regarding the reduction in the number of personnel in the Armed Forces, locksmithing will be an excellent way of continuing a successful and lucrative career on completion of your Service with the crown.

Here is some of the feedback we have received from Service personnel who have completed locksmith training with us:

‘I don’t hesitate to recommend A1 Safe & Secure for training. The training centre is an ideal learning environment twinned with good instructional technique from Bob. Excellent value for money for MoD leaving the Forces.’ – WO2 Giblin RQMS QRH
‘Instruction was clear and concise, with the pace set according to student abilities. Every step was explained in detail, demonstrated by the instructor before sufficient practice time was allocated: day one and we were already picking locks.’ – Capt. Harries RE

For full testimonies, please visit our website: www.sas-locks-and-training.co.uk. With the added bonus of a week on the ground and 24/7 back-up when trading, if you’re considering a career in locksmithing, A1 Safe & Secure is, without a doubt, the training provider for you.

Unlock a brighter future

 
 
 
Civilians can never fully understand or appreciate the experiences undertaken by our brave Servicemen and women. Nor can we understand the pain suffered by our wounded or the difficulties in their transition back into civilian life.
 
Having enjoyed working successfully with members of the Armed Forces for over ten years, Anvil Locksmiths felt that it would like to give something in return – so, as a way to show its gratitude to these heroes, it is currently training three
 
Service personnel per month, wounded in action, on one of its three-day Advanced Locksmith Courses. All Anvil training programmes lead to City & Guilds qualifications.

The courses include a comprehensive set of reference books and training notes, a C&G Certificate, accommodation in a hotel, transport to and from the training venue, a light lunch and a substantial lock opening kit.

Anvil Locksmiths is extremely proud to be an Approved Learning Provider for the MoD’s Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) scheme, and has since trained members of the Armed Forces as part of their resettlement programme. It offers a variety of courses run by: Gareth, key cutting training; Kevin, electrical training; Tom, auto training; and Peter, who delivers the locksmith training.

Peter comments, ‘Following a very moving visit to Headly Court Rehabilitation Centre, we were privileged to meet many young, fit and highly motivated soldiers who felt frustrated about being unable to do the job they had trained so hard for and leaving their friends behind on the frontline. We were so inspired by the total dedication of these patients we immediately made a donation to the charity. Following discussions among ourselves we felt that this alone was not enough and were honoured to be able to put together a training package to help in their rehabilitation.

‘We appreciate that, one day, every Serviceperson has to return to civilian life, and this is a great opportunity to undertake a completely different career. Our courses are for those wanting to be empowered and skilled to run their own business but with the security of a larger service provider offering round-the-clock help and advice.

To date we have enjoyed meeting and successfully training ten Servicemen, and feel humbled by the small way we have been able to offer them a new future, as well as making some amazing new friends.’
