I Can't Believe What I Saw Last Night

Brian Lombardo - Locksmith NJ

Last night after a very busy day of putting in door closers and panic bars I was really tired but I had to stay at the office computer because I signed up for one of the SOPL virtual classes.  Let me tell you this class was so informative and so clear and so well put together that it really blew me away. I have been a locksmith so long that nothing really surprises me.. This surprised me! It covered all the basics and went into full detail and made this so real and so much fun I stayed wide awake and took in more information than I ever had in any class I was ever in! Everything we discussed was taught from A-Z and it was not even close to boring, it was amazing!

This is going out to everyone that missed out on a great educational experience last night. If you didn't sign up or participate in the Key Generation Class on the internet last night, thats too bad! Education is "key", and I feel sorry for anyone that doesn't think that way. The things learned here can only help us in our business. In NJ we need CEU's for Licensing, but whether you need them or not, you really should take advantage of what this site has to offer. I can honestly say, after over 18 years of being a locksmith, I learned a few things last night that will not only save me time, but make me money, because we all know that "Time IS Money!"  Professionally speaking my opinion is, that, the next time an opportunity like this rolls around, get in on it. You won't be sorry, I wasn't!

I got more out this site in one day, then I got from several years of memberships in other associations.

As a past teacher in the public school system, I can honestly say that this entire program is fantastic! The printed course material is very professional and the online testing is exactly what is needed. I grade this program with an A+ !!

On line training is the future and from what I can see you are the first to really offer it in the locksmith industry to which I say my hat is off to you.

Personally, I have trained overseas in a well known and highly respected training program, I have no hesitation in recommending the SOPL training program. The idea that others are now seeking to emulate some of what is being achieved by the this unique organization, serves to justify that the SOPL is, and has become the new yardstick

I actually learned something!

The SOPL is great! I appreciate the quick and helpful response times with my questions. This has saved me a lot of time and money!

I took the Key Blank Identification course today and I'm freakin' jazzed! I learned so much! This freakin' rocks! I love the training already and can't wait to get time to do the next lesson!
