🔹 Welcome to the LTTA — Locksmith Teacher Training Award™

The LTTA™ was created by the Guild of Master Locksmiths UK to bring integrity, ethics, and genuine trade experience back into locksmith education.

​

For years, unqualified individuals — often failed locksmiths — have resold their limited knowledge online, creating poor-quality training, rogue traders, and, in some cases, enabling crime. The Guild recognised the urgent need for a verified standard — one that ensures anyone teaching locksmithing has both the proven trade success and the teaching competence to train others responsibly.

​

The LTTA framework was built by real locksmiths, not marketers. Every LTTA instructor has over 10 years of hands-on, full-time locksmith experience, working in real homes, businesses, and emergency environments across the UK. They don’t just know the craft — they’ve lived it, built thriving businesses from it, and now teach it with the same dedication to professionalism, ethics, and excellence that define the Guild itself.

​

This award exists to protect both the student and the public — ensuring locksmith training in the UK is delivered only by credible, time-served professionals who can truly teach, mentor, and uphold the standards our trade deserves.
