What you need to know
Every year, hundreds of men and women leave the armed
forces and are faced with the challenge of re-integrating with civilian life
and work. It can be a stressful time, but one which the government has tried to
ease with the Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) and Individual Resettlement
Training Costs (IRTC) schemes, which provide funding for re-training in a new
career.
The funding can be used for a huge variety of educational
and training opportunities (everything from fine art degrees to flight
training), but one of the most common uses is to put it towards the cost of a
locksmith training course.

So why are locksmith courses so popular with military leavers?
First of all, the industry itself is attractive for a
whole number of reasons. Demand for locksmiths is high, and is largely
recession-proof (people are always going to get locked out of their homes!),
while the nature of the work offers a degree of flexibility when it comes to
working hours.
Locksmithing is also a job that is particularly well
suited to military leavers. The key characteristics required to be a successful
locksmith include a confident manner, perseverance, and the ability to carry
out skilled manual work – all of which are traits common to those who have
spent any length of time in the Armed Forces.
Working for Keytek™

UK providing both Domestic and Commercial locksmith services for over 15 years.

across the UK and Northern Ireland. Engineers wanting to join the Engineer
Network will join on a sub contractual basis, meaning that working hours and time
off is tailored to suit their needs. Keytek™ is able to provide all of it’s Engineers
with all the help and support they need from technical to paperwork in the form
of the Technical Department and Engineer Liaison Team.
So what kind of training is needed to become a locksmith?
Most people who are completely new to locksmithing start
with a short, intensive course which allows them hands-on practice and expert
tuition on the essentials of the industry. While this course will not give a
comprehensive knowledge of all there is to know about locksmithing (that only
comes with years of experience and constant learning), it does give a firm
foundation to start working in the industry, either as an independent operator
or as a sub contractor for an established company.
