The California Institute of Locksmithing is the only licensed locksmithing school in the state that offers live online instruction.

After completing the entire program, online students can visit the school for a workshop and earn a special accreditation for an extra fee. Depending on your time zone and availability, some live classes may be part of the in-house live classes.
The journey starts with the "Lock Box" introductory class, covering locksmithing basics, job opportunities, and what to expect from future courses. The cost is $400, and this class is required before taking other courses unless you're already an approved locksmith with a waiver from the school. You'll receive a certificate and materials, including a flash drive with videos, a locksmith information training booklet, and a certificate for a one-on-one meeting with one of their master instructors.
Afterward, you'll move on to their introductory locksmithing course, covering different weekly topics, like re-keying, lock picking, and installation. Most classes can be taken in any order. Each week involves watching instructional videos, practicing at home, and attending a live class to discuss questions. In live courses, instructors share real-world tips on the subject. The instructor can also see you and advise on methods and techniques if you want.
