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+ !!

Nick Hart - Pete's Lock & Key Ft. Lee N.J.
I have been working as a locksmith for the University of Missouri for the past five years and wanted to increase my knowledge of the trade.  Because of my schedule, I was looking for an on line course that I could work on at my own pace and found Security Technical Institute. After looking through their visitors section I found the course of studies I was looking for and decided to join. It has been several years since I have taken any kind of classes, I have never taken on line classes, so it took a bit to get started. With the help and understanding from Mr. Arkawy, I am well on my way to completing my courses. The technical information and terminology that I have learned have expanded my knowledge, and the reference web sites have been very helpful and have given me resources to use in the future. Security Technical Institute has helped me become a better locksmith.  It has given me the knowledge and confidence I was looking for to better my carrier.

Richard Blair - BTS Locksmith
I have really enjoyed the masterkeying class with Harvey Arkawy of www.RabbitSoft.us. He explained things very well and was very patient even when answering the same question for the 3rd time. The class involved a printed text, interactive web based powerpoint, internet chat with the instructor, and an internet radio lecture from LockRadio. However, in addition to all of the material is the accessibility of Harvey. He's returned every email and phone call since the class. It seems like tech support for the class. The times for the class were very flexible. The quizzes and assignments were challenging. And, the results were reviewed immediately with the instructor. Even if you use software when masterkeying, this class will help you "speak the language" and be more efficient with your work I can't stress enough how accessible the instructor has been. That has been the same experience with all of the classes I have taken so far with STI. I'm looking forward to the next class that Harvey teaches.

Thanks STI. I learned a lot at an affordable price compared to other courses I saw. This opportunity has helped me make real money for my family.

I actually learned something! 

Fredrick Woelky - Accurate Locksmith Ramsey, N.J.
This is GREAT! The material was so well presented it made it so easy to focus on the important points. Not boring at all! I loved the testing!
