The design of the newly revised occupational certificate has made provision for part qualifications. These being Key Cutter, Automotive Locksmith and Locksmith Assistant. Completion of each of the part Qualification by learners will afford them an opportunity to operate as qualified occupation holders with respect to the part qualification area of specialisation.
The Qualification is aimed at both new entrants and learners that are currently working within the locksmithing industry. Upon completion of the Qualification, learners can operate as locksmiths within the security sector in areas such as key cutting, automotive, electronic, safes and vault and lock installations.
