Background

The Birth of Alberta's Locksmith Apprenticeship Program: A little "light" reading about the first Locksmith Apprenticeship Program in Canada (ours), and how it all started. You'll also discover a little bit about how Locksmith Apprenticeship works.

Meet Inspector Clues0: He's persistent, he's clever, and best of all, he's so darned cute. The inspector is a "character" who pops up from time to time in the program's CBAT modules, just for fun.

Curriculum Overview:Read about what Apprentices learn when they come to class.

Excerpt from a Locksmith program CBAT module: A little about the history of Locksmithing in Alberta. (Check the Birth of Alberta's Locksmith Apprenticeship Program for an explanation of the CBAT delivery system).From there, you can even download a PDF file of Objective 1 of the same module, entitled "The History of Locksmithing", complete with self-test.

Meet the Instructor: Having a little "dirt" on the Instructor could make you a little more comfortable when you come to class - at least it couldn't hurt.

If you're interested in history, we have a display of catalogue pages from a Simmons Hardware catalogue, circa 1890.
