Auto Locksmith Training

[rapidlocksmiths]

the training available in the uk isnt that useful , the training offered by suppliers is geared up as a sales exercise to promote the items they sell . no training course will give you any level of competence , this still takes bench time and alot of practice . with regards lishi picking and decoding theres plenty of guides avaialble and videos that teach you everything a course teaches you , you just practice on your own bench rather than someone elses . the best way to learn to use lishi is to sit down with tools and locks and practice .

with programming , most programmers are menu driven , so not alot is shown here , normally just how to navigate the menu , any live cars will be cars with no issues that work , so if you already know how to navigate the menu structures you have almost what you will get shown on a course, the rest you can pick up at trade shows and events .

none of the courses teach removing locks from cars , stripping them rekeying them etc in any detail , when it comes to eeprom work some teach soldering and desoldering chips but not removing the ecu units etc .

all training courses in uk can only be viewed as very basic training , that give you some basic skills and knowledge , none elevate you to a level of competency , the only way to reach a competent level is to spend alot of time practicing and researching which is a necessity with or without training.

in usa they take and deliver training far more in depth and far more seriously and training is delivered by experienced auto locksmiths who actually make their living doing the job rather than just talking a good job. in uk its largely just easy money for some that struggle to earn from doing the job and from suppliers promoting kit , the true training and learning happens on your own bench and competency depends what time you dedicate to this .
