Where can we learn to be a Locksmith?

• Answer:

  To become a locksmith you need to complete a three-year apprenticeship and gain a National Certificate in Locksmithing. Locksmith apprenticeships are part of the Modern Apprenticeships scheme, which is for people aged 16 to 21. Locksmiths must not have any criminal convictions that have a term of imprisonment attached. A security guard's licence may be required and it is helpful to have a driver's licence. Locksmiths gain most of their skills on the job. As part of their training, locksmith apprentices working towards their National Certificate in Locksmithing are sent on at least one three-week block course to the Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE (Technical and Further Education). Costs to attend the course are subsidised. Qualified locksmiths further their knowledge by attending conferences and seminars where locksmiths trade information and experiences. http://www.careers.govt.nz/default.aspx?id0=30103&id1=0B0255AB-5F66-438F-984C-673364932C2E http://www.competenz.org.nz/index.php/component/content/article/16-qualifications/94-locksmithing http://www.modern-apprenticeships.govt.nz/Default.aspx?id=160 You can learn it at this education provider: http://www.competenz.org.nz/
