LOCKSMITH COURSE

To become a qualified locksmith, one must complete a locksmith apprenticeship. The off-the-job locksmith course/training associated with the apprenticeship is available through TAFE. Apprentices and trainees are contracted to an employer, usually for 1 to 4 years, during which the trainees gain skills.

Even though there are shortages of skilled locksmiths in some areas, the opportunity to gain entry through an apprenticeship is still limited.

An apprentice Locksmith is involved in a range of tasks, including evaluating security requirements; installing, adjusting, repairing and maintaining locks and related security equipment; making keys and changing lock combinations, generally working on residential, automotive, commercial and institutional locksets and door hardware.

Levels of Educational Programs Available
  • Certificate II in Engineering Pathways (Locksmithing)

I was in a really desperate situation with my visa lodging when I arrived at Asia pacific. Arun was the agent who helped me with my case and he did a spectacular job in assisting me with the process. There was ongoing communication and support provided throughout and the whole experience was truly a positive one. Definitely would recommend going with Asia Pacific for visa needs. The whole team is friendly and genuinely eager to help.
