Locksmithing

Physical security is essential for the wellbeing of our communities – the locksmithing industry must constantly evolve to meet this demand with new products, technology and methods.

Our courses in locksmithing and physical security will equip you with the skills to develop a career as a generalist locksmith, or specialise in areas such as alarms, automotive or safes.

The Locksmithing Unit, located at the Heidelberg campus, offers courses in security technology and locksmithing, including apprenticeship and specialist training packages. Other training services offered include intensive training for overseas locksmiths, and short courses for industry and consultancy services. Short courses can be specifically designed for the client or may be selected from a number of off-the-shelf packages.
