Recently completed the 2 day canbus course, what a fantastic structured course it was from start to finish, Iv learnt everything I need to know and feel confident enough to move forward and get fitting having placed my first order for trackers and immobilisers! Excellent job Lewis I'll definitely be back.

I've done several courses with Lewis and all were money well spent. There's more money to spend on tools however but you will be given honest advice on what and where to buy for your budget.The courses were a good introduction but there's always more to learn. I would recommended signing up for the practical courses and finding other ways to get as much experience as you can. Lewis does offer help with this.

I can highly recommend this course for completely beginners who don't have any knowledge about tools and this industry. You get a lot information about many tools what can do and can't do, but i will suggest to the owner two days theory and two days practice will be more usefull. Generally course is good.

I recently attended the 6 Day Automotive Workshop and thoroughly enjoyed the course. It was very well run, with the instruction delivered at a great pace.

Hi,I don’t usually leave negative feedback, but I feel it’s important to give an honest reflection of my experience on this course.Initially, you come away feeling very positive. Lewis presents the course extremely well and gives the impression that there is significant earning potential, which is why I originally left a 5-star review.However, in reality, the experience was very different. By the end of the course, none of us felt confident completing a key job from start to finish. I know this wasn’t just my own experience, as several of us formed a WhatsApp group afterwards and shared the same concerns.In terms of practical training, there was very little. We completed no more than around two hours of hands-on work, and this was only on the final day.Since completing the course, I have attempted to make contact on more than eight occasions via phone and email over the past two weeks, and I have not received a single response. I find this extremely disappointing, especially when support is needed after the course.I would also strongly advise anyone considering this course to research the SERMI certificate beforehand, as this was not mentioned during our training. The cost is approximately £2,180 for five years, and many major vehicle manufacturers now require this for access to programming systems. For example, tools such as OSCA will restrict access to certain manufacturers unless you are registered with SERMI, Additionally, if you plan to combine auto locksmith work with remapping, SERMI may not approve this setup. I only became aware of this after speaking directly with OSCA.I feel very disappointed as I feel this should of been mentioned on the course, and explained to us in depth, knowing that Lewis was aware this was coming into force on the 1st April 2026.Overall, I feel that many attendees were sold an expectation that does not fully reflect the reality. This may explain why, on The OBD Course Facebook group (which you are invited to join after the course), there are a number of people already selling their equipment and leaving the trade.As a result, I have now booked an alternative course, which includes four days of real, hands-on experience working alongside an auto locksmith.My advice to anyone considering this course would be to carefully research your options and compare prices before investing in equipment, as many items can be found more affordably elsewhere.

5/5 Stars – Top-Tier Training with The OBD CompanyI just finished the Auto Locksmith course with The OBD Company, and it was a total game-changer.Instead of just theory, we got straight onto the latest OBD diagnostic tools and key programmers. The instructor lewis is clearly industry veteran he focused on real-world "All Keys Lost" scenarios and the hands-on skills you actually need in the field.I walked away with the confidence to handle high-security vehicle systems . If you want to master modern car key programming, this is the gold standard. Highly recommended

Steve Cutmore

04:11 12 Mar 26

The course was well presented and very informative. Lewis took time to help us gain the best understanding of the task in hand. Great hospitality would definitely recommend!

Happy with course definitely got what I came for. What's important there's plenty of after course support from Lewis and his team all you need to do is ask the question. Looking forward to do locksmith course with them in future as addition to remmaping unfortunately couldn't stay for both courses in one go. Cheers

Jamie

18:37 27 Feb 26

I did the immobiliser and tracker course and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lewis is extremely knowledgeable in many subjects and could easily answer any questions we had for him.I’ll definitely be back to do another course in the future!

Kian Whitlock

22:22 22 Feb 26

I have completed both Locksmith course and Security Immobiliser course and wow both courses were amazing. Lewis is a phenomenal teacher with the way he explains everything via him speaking about something or showing you how to do something. He never hesitates to answer a question and is always so helpful when questions are asked. Cannot fault Lewis in any way. Not only is Lewis and the team great, but the set up with water bottles, hot drinks, pen and paper at the ready, snacks, plenty of equipment, everything you can ask for in a class room to keep you going. Top class, top course, top team and top guy!Thank you Lewis

16:34 22 Feb 26

The course is exceptionally well structured to both guide and motivate anyone looking to enter the auto locksmith industry. Lewis presents the material in a clear, straightforward way that makes even complex topics easy to grasp, and his depth of knowledge and real-world experience really stands out.

If your serious about engine tuning and remapping sign up here with Lewis and the team, I carried out my first stage 1 remap today at home, the 2 day mapping course offered here made this possible for me, from helping to choose the right tool for me to learning me how to use it, plus with the peace of mind knowing that further support was at hand should I have needed it.

Completed the auto locksmith course 4 full days of quality information from a 20 year experienced locksmith focused on training not upselling there tools, Lewis is a knowledgeable patient and energetic trainer who knows his stuff came away with confidence and the skills to start my own business. Thank you The OBD Company, I’ll be back!!

I completed the Remapping and Tuning course in February 26, I did think I’d leant everything I needed to know on YouTube, yes there’s lots of help on YouTube even on The OBD Company’s own YT site, but you don’t get the same help as being in a class full of other students firing questions at Lewis and getting easy to digest answers back, the question sessions are so important from getting answers to your own questions and getting answers from the questions of the other 11 students in the class that you wouldn’t have thought to ask.The 2 day course itself is very knowledgeable and Lewis the tutor knows his stuff without making things complicated, I’ve been on courses where after 2 hours me heads shot, this was not the case, 2 days here and I never missed a thing, so far I’ve managed to retain everything we went over.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lewis at The OBD Company… 10 out of 10Thank you for steering me in the right direction on my new journey 🙂

Dillon Hanley

00:11 18 Feb 26

Could not have had a better experience. I travelled over from Ireland to do the 6 day automotive course and from start to finish i was locked in. Lewis is incredibly knowledgeable and has an answer for every question you ever have to ask and a very good trainer who actually teaches you what you need to learn as opposed to filling you with information you dont need. The course is opening so many doors for me and i look forward to flying over for more courses in the future , as we say in ireland, Go raibh míle maith agat 👍

I recently completed a remapping course at The OBD Company in Chesterfield, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The training was clear, and delivered by people who genuinely know the industry inside out.What really stood out was how patient and knowledgeable the instructor was. They didn’t just teach the basics — they explained the “why” behind everything, from reading ECUs to understanding safe tuning practices. Every question I had was answered properly, and nothing felt rushed.The atmosphere was friendly and professional, and you can tell the team truly cares about helping people succeed in the tuning industry. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to expand your skills, I’d highly recommend The OBD Company. Easily one of the best training experiences I’ve had.

I have just completed the 4 day auto locksmithing course and couldn't be happier with how it went.Lewis is a fantastic tutor, the reviews stating that he is a salesman are more than unfair. You do not have to buy a single thing on this course, and quite frequently he would recommend cheaper alternatives that he doesn't sell himself, and where to find them to prevent you wasting your money. He encourages you to do the research yourself and make informed decisions based on your own budget.Now, to the course itself. For anyone that believes you can complete a 4 day course and leave being a fully qualified, ready to go, competent and confident auto locksmith - be realistic. This is never going to be the case. What this course does do is give you a really in-depth understanding of the basics right up to EEPROM. I am one of those people that researched this industry like a mad-man any opportunity I got, and nothing I could find online provided anywhere near the level of value that this course and Lewis did.I can wholeheartedly say that I am so pleased I decided to do this course, and now have all of the tools and the learning to take the next step, continue to practice and learn, and make a living out of this hopefully in the coming year.Thanks again Lewis and the OBD Company.

The course has been perfectly designed to instruct and inspire somebody wanting to start in the auto locksmith industry, Lewis delivers the course in a way that makes everything easy to understand and clearly has a massive wealth of knowledge and experience. I can’t recommend the course enough to anyone looking to have a change in career or just wanting to add to their present skill set.

I’m writing this anonymously to avoid any issues, but I want to help others before they spend their money. For a three day locksmith course, the training was very disappointing and didn’t match the price at all. The main focus seemed to be on products Lewis sells. He’s an excellent salesman no denying that but the sales side overshadowed the actual locksmith training.Hands on learning was extremely limited. Across the full three days we only got roughly an hour of HU66 Lishi practice. EEPROM was rushed through as theory only with no real demonstrations and no step by step process. There were no proper all keys lost examples, no cluster removals, no realistic EEPROM workflow nothing that reflects real customer jobs.A surprising amount of time went into Lewis talking about “life lessons” and how well he has done for him self flaunting his rolex to us all. Nobody I still talk to learnt anything what and everyone agrees that it was a disappointment. For a paid technical course that time could’ve been used on something practical.Another small but telling detail: three days and not even lunch provided. For what people are paying, you’d expect basic hospitality and a more professional setup.If you’re a beginner or you’re tight on budget, there’s a huge amount of free material on YouTube that goes into more depth and shows real jobs from start to finish. I personally learned more from those videos than from the course.And just to clear up something that gets overcomplicated, trade accounts are not difficult to open. Many suppliers are very reasonable. Access Fobs is a great example: Dawn (the owner) is brilliant, friendly, and helpful and you don’t need a trade account to buy from her. Receipts from there are usually enough to get accepted by bigger suppliers like 3D.I’m genuinely not trying to slate anyone, I just don’t want new starters wasting money thinking this course will give them practical ability overnight. It won’t.

The Remapping course was very useful and Louis, very talented man I wish all the best for him. I’m looking to do more courses In Future with him.

In my opinion, this course is quite expensive for what it actually offers. It feels more like a sales and upselling session than a hands-on training course. There is frequent encouragement to buy additional products and subscriptions, such as paid groups, chatbots, ID card certificates, and other extras, rather than focusing on teaching in depth.. For example, there was only around two hours lishi practice on Hu 66 , eeprom just bash through it with talking no practice on that also teaches to get mechanic needs to remove the Immo box before work can be done — something that, in reality, often isn’t the case , in middle of no where ,There were no proper all-keys-lost examples on more challenging vehicles (such as clock removal or EEPROM work). EEPROM was discussed for about two hours, but only in terms of which tools could be used, not how to actually perform the work step by step.Overall, the course feels more like an overview of the industry and basic concepts, rather than a deep or practical training program. Personally, I felt I learned more from YouTube than from this course.The hands-on practice time was very limited — roughly 3 to 4 hours total, mainly focused on Lishi practice and looking at tools, rather than performing real programming. Only showed us him following the programmer which u can see on YouTube The vehicle examples used were very simple, which doesn’t reflect the real-world challenges you face when working independently.This review is intended to help new starters, especially those on a budget, avoid unnecessary expense. There is a lot of valuable free information available online, particularly on YouTube, that can provide better practical learning at the beginning.Also worth noting: opening trade accounts is not as difficult as sometimes suggested. Many suppliers only require a company letter or a couple of purchase receipts. For example, with receipts from Access Fobs or other online shops that don’t require a trade account, you can often open a 3D trade account without issues.

I recently completed a 2-day CANBUS IMMO installation course and found it very informative. Lewis is extremely knowledgeable and explained everything clearly, breaking down what can be a complex subject into something easy to follow.For first-timers, I think the course would benefit from a bit more hands-on practical time to really build confidence with installs, nothing a bit of extra graft wouldn’t fix! That said, I’d definitely recommend the training to anyone looking to get into CANBUS IMMO work. Good learning and a good atmosphere.

The training was well-structured, hands-on, and very informative, covering both the technical side and real-world situations you actually face on the job.Everything was explained clearly, and there was plenty of practical time to build confidence using the tools and programming equipment. The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and happy to answer questions, no matter how small.I’d highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get into auto locksmithing or expand their existing skills. A great investment and well worth the time and money.

Our trainer, Lewis, was outstanding — he has a huge amount of knowledge, all backed by years of real hands-on experience in the industry.The small class size made a massive difference, as it meant Lewis was able to give each of us his full attention throughout the course. He explained everything clearly, answered every question, and made sure no one was left behind.Overall, the course was incredibly informative, practical, and well-structured.

I attended the 5-day locksmith course at OBD Company in April. Lewis was amazing — he answered all our questions very patiently and made sure we fully understood everything before moving on.I didn’t leave a review straight after the course, but now after a few months and gaining more experience, I can confidently say it was worth it 👌. Of course, after the course, you need to keep practising and educating yourself, which I did — and Lewis has continued to be really helpful even afterwards. Highly recommended!

Irecently completed the AutoLock Smith Training program OBD COMPANY, and I must say it was an incredible experience! The instructors LEWIS SCOTT were knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about teaching. He provided hands-on training with state-of-the-art equipment, which gave me the confidence to tackle any lockout situation.The curriculum was comprehensive, covering everything from basic key cutting to advanced immobilizer systems. I was impressed by the emphasis on safety protocols and best practices.What really sets AutoLock Smith apart is the ongoing support and resources they provide after graduation.

I’ve had an amazing 4 days at OBD and have found it very informative and Lewis is very knowledgeable, I found it easily processable but struggled at the beginning of day 3 but later into the day and during day 4 all the pieces of the Jigsaw all fell into place and the course was very enjoyable and easy to learn at a steady pace I will be booking onto add on courses in the near future thank OBD, Lewis and Team 👍🏼

I recently completed a 4-day auto locksmith course with OBD Company, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Our trainer, Lewis, was outstanding — he has a huge amount of knowledge, all backed by years of real hands-on experience in the industry.

The small class size made a massive difference, as it meant Lewis was able to give each of us his full attention throughout the course. He explained everything clearly, answered every question, and made sure no one was left behind.

Overall, the course was incredibly informative, practical, and well-structured. I’d highly recommend OBD Company to anyone looking to get into auto locksmithing. Lewis is a top-class trainer and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish.

Just completed the 4 day auto locksmith training course. Nothing bad can be said about my experience, communication before and during the course was excellent, water, snacks and tea/coffee all provided on site. Clean, tidy and respectable premises. Level of training was high and good quality, i learned alot. The large amount of equipment they have on site that you can use and look at is immense. Thank you, money well spent.

I always will recommend
THE OBD COMPANY
Lewis is very good teacher and you can learn a lot from him who ever not agree with that it's different if you don't concentrate on the learning you never learn to attend only to get certificate it's not enough it's many other teaching classes like that but I was checking before I attended and was very good reviews about and for good money and I plan to do other courses with them in very close future I pick lots of information from Lewis and helping me with my business as well because I can trust with opinion about what he said
I'm from Norwich Sebastian S&G PERFORMANCE LTD and find them online I was attending for remapping and immobilizer

I recently completed the 4-day Auto Locksmith Training Course at The OBD Company in Chesterfield, and it was an incredibly valuable experience. The course was well-organized and covered a wide range of essential topics, perfect for both beginners and those with some experience looking to build on their skills.

Right from the start, the team made me feel welcome. Special shout-out to Tracey on the front desk—she was friendly, helpful, and kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Little touches like that really added to the experience.

Lewis, our instructor, was knowledgeable, approachable, and explained everything clearly. He took the time to make sure we all understood the methods and techniques before moving forward, which really helped build confidence.

The hands-on aspect of the course was a major plus. We didn’t just watch—we got stuck in, practicing key programming, lock picking, and using diagnostic tools ourselves. There was also time spent going through different tools used in the trade, along with rough guidance on costs and what kind of setup you’d need to get started. That kind of practical insight is something you don’t always get from other courses.

In terms of value, I genuinely think this course delivers. After comparing several providers, this one stood out not just for the content, but for the post-course support too. Lewis and the team have been approachable and helpful with follow-up questions and also a closed facebook group that helps with any questions or concerns you have from fellow established locksmiths and trainee locksmiths which gives added peace of mind as you get started in the field.

All in all, I’d highly recommend this course to anyone considering a career in auto locksmithing. It’s thorough, hands-on, and gives you both the skills and the real-world info you need to move forward with confidence.

I recently completed the Auto Locksmith Course and the CAN Immobilizer Course with The OBD Company, and I can honestly say it was one of the best training experiences I’ve had.

From the moment I arrived, everything was clearly structured and professionally delivered. Lewis, our tutor, was absolutely outstanding — his knowledge, patience, and real-world experience made all the difference. He explained complex systems in a way that was easy to grasp, always made time for individual questions, and ensured we had plenty of hands-on practice with the latest tools and techniques.

The Auto Locksmith Course gave me a solid foundation in key cutting, key programming, and vehicle entry — with a clear emphasis on practical skills I could immediately apply in the field. The CAN Immobilizer Course was equally impressive, providing in-depth knowledge of modern vehicle security systems and how to work with them safely and effectively.

I left feeling confident and genuinely excited to take my skills to the next level. Whether you’re new to the industry or looking to expand your expertise, I can’t recommend The OBD Company and Lewis highly enough. First-class training all around!

Phenomenal experience.

I joined the 2 day remapping course in August.

Lewis has truly been amazing since enquiring with him over the phone before the course to date. Extremely intelligent individual.
Tracy has also been amazing to liaise with.

When enquiring with him about the course before booking. He explained all factors which will be taken place in a excellent manner.
He reassured me that everything I wanted to learn was within the course.

So I booked the course and drove to Derbyshire from London.

We had access to our own logins for a pre learning course and a post learning course which can be reviewed as many times to help learn more and updates added on.

During the course it was great to meet him.
He had the true skills of instructing and teaching.
He explains everything clearly and in detail and assures we all understood before moving on.
He never made any feel silly whatever the questions were asked.
He would ensure that all opportunities were given for any questions and ensured everyone is paying attention so we all can bounce with each other for questions and answers.
He gave us all the opportunity to take part in the course so we all had the chance to feel we can accomplish what we are learning.
We all had the chance to take part in the practicals where he will make sure that we felt confident as ensuring that we can individually complete the tasks.
I learnt more in the course than expected.
He offered various packages at the end of the course to be able to carryout work.
Various packaged enabled me to choose what best suits me including payment plans.
I left the course satisfied with a certificate and full confidence I can carryout the work.
I have also ongoing support with Lewis and the team which has been extremely valuable.
The support has been very useful and again his communication is great.
He explains everything in great detail which helps pass his knowledge on to me and does not make me feel any question is a silly one as I was a beginner when joined and had many questions to ask.
I truly can't explain how amazing he has been to me.

I have 5star feedback from customers I have already carried out work on.

I have absolutely no regrets in taking this course. Extremely excellent value for money.
When I want to expand my business I definitely will be going back to Lewis for the other courses he offers.

Very informative for beginners.
Lots of information on the course. Lewis is extremely helpful and goes into great detail.
My only negative would be there needs to be more time made in the day for hands on practical jobs.
I’m not sure what aftercare is given after the course as I’ve been trying to get hold of him several times now.

Great company to get started with ECU remapping, with a very good crew of after sales helpers!

In my honest opinion it’s the best way to get into remapping and the training is very friendly!

Just be careful what you ask for in a file, make sure you have everything asked for in full as this growing company will only do what you ask them, if you forget you have to be charged again! Which is fair enough so just a heads up!

Great company!

Had Training with this company about 2 years ago and I have to say if you really want to provide professional remapping service to your customers you need Tools like 'LEWIS' in your Toolbox. Whatever I have learnt on the Training Day was, no doubt, good value for money but the Training that I've kept receiving (even till now...and going) is priceless. Really PRO and HONEST guidance towards my success.
