The instructor made me feel at ease from the start of the course, he was easy to get along with and was very knowledgeable. At the start of the course I found all the information that I needed to learn very over whelming but as time went on it all started to fall into place. I really enjoyed the course and would happily recommend it to anyone else looking to train. The only negative I have is that the classroom was a little small for the amount of people in it, otherwise all was great 👍

I had an absolutely amazing experience with the Southampton depot last week achieving my B - C+E licence. Week 1 spent with Janet who has a wealth of knowledge and although I was in the rigid she was giving me advice for the artic the week after. The 2nd week was spent with Dave and again someone with a wealth of knowledge. After having a wobble day one reversing he found a tactic that suited me better and I cracked it first time every time the day after. Dave also instilled the belief into me that I could pass my test quite easily if I just remember everything he told me. 2 absolutely brilliant instructors. I would also like to thank Dell for keeping me calm for my Mod 4 and also Trev for doing the same with my reversing exercise. They also gave me a lot of advice in the reception area whilst I was waiting which is invaluable. I cant forget to mention Marcus and John for their little bits of advice too. I will see you all again hopefully when I need CPC training. Many thanks again to you all.

Really professional and efficient outfit, staff were very helpful, despite being a compressed course due to DVSA shortages 2 Start Ltd ensured I was test ready for my C+E and I passed first time. Vehicles are high spec and well looked after and I felt the staff were all also very happy working for 2 start. I will endeavour to return in future for CPC training and ADR. Not local to me but I will make the journey as it would be worth the trip. Credit where credit is due 5* from me for 2 Start Ltd. Keep up the good work : )

I did my Cat C here on behalf of the company I work for on the 22nd July for a week and passed first time. They really are an amazing company, very friendly staff and they teach you the correct way. I had Sean and Jane as my instructors and they were amazing! If you're thinking on getting a bigger licence then I 100% recommend 2 Start. They did me proud and I still am looking at my certificate with such pride!Thank you so much!

I had Jane as my trainer - She was fantastic, relaxed, informative and gave me excellent feedback during my course, would definitely recommend 2start as a training provider. Special shout out to Jack in the office, during the whole booking process he took care of everything for me, and really put me at ease when I was spending a fair old wedge of cash, an investment in my future.Online theory training was very well thought out and easy to use. Would have been more convenient if they had a mobile app, but passed my CPC case studies with 94% so clearly it works!Vehicles were all new, very clean and very well maintained, vehicle checks performed daily ensuring your vehicle is ready to go at the start of your lesson!No wonder 2start is so busy!

I dont even know where to start. I was lucky enough to get 2 of the best dudes you can ever wish for in this industry! John and Marcus are absolute legends, the way they teach and pass on their experienceand knoladge to you is second to none.Both of them are professional, friendly, chatty and yet they still manage to keep you focused and relaxed throughout your lesson. They make you feel comfortable behind the wheel so you can concentrate more on driving. Listening to their tricks and tips, trusting their words helped me pass my "C" for first go. I cannot be thankful enough guys.I'd mention the other instructors I've met aswell as they were nice too. When you step in the office it feels more like a family run place. Everyones happy and helpful and so welcoming. I cannot recomment 2 Start enough. For sure I will be back shortly for my C+E.In the meantime thanks again guys!G

Had my C plus E refresher with this company. Hadn't driven for a few years so was feeling nervous. But soon put at ease . By my instructor Dave Monk . Who was a wealth of knowledge. Each lesson and instruction was very clear and professional. Dave soon got my confidence back out on the road . And has given positive feed back to take my HGV career forward.

Pass my C+E first attempt with the greatest instructor I could ever wish for. Like many of us picked up a number of bad habits, After driving cat C for a little while. Being as I am, and Unless you have an instructor that teaches and backs up with the theory behind it, I would definitely not make it. I recommend 2 Start Lda and recommend Charlie the instructor that I praise.Thank you

I was allocated Instructor Martin Keen who was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. I particularly enjoyed the constructive criticism and feedback of the errors of my ways and techniques of driving as I progressed through the course, which I took on board and on my test day I was well ready and confident in passing. which I then passed my practical C + E driving test. Happy with this company.

I can’t recommend 2Start highly enough, I did class 2 training and test with them and then Class 1 training and test. Janette was very patient and professional during my class 2 and likewise Adam was to during my class 1. Both instructors put me at ease which made for a great week of training. Due to my own stupidity I failed my first test on both classes but I went back for second tests and Martin took me to them, again very calming and professional. Great company, nice vehicles to learn in.

The staff are friendly and easy to get along with, which helped ease me into learning at my own pace. All the instructors were experience drivers with many years in professional industries. I have managed to complete my Cat C and Mod 4 with the company, with ease. The website is easy to navigate with multiple ways to communicate with the adviser team based in Portsmouth. Also having prices available to view beforehand makes it easy to see how much money will likely be required, and when talking to Jack (adviser) it was all streamlined, quick and with no forceful selling like I had experience with other companies.One thing to note is they do not guide you through the theory process as this will be something you will need to prep for and complete prior to practicals, however there are a lot of material available online and in the DVSA books (recommend "The official DVSA guide to: Driving goods vehicle" a lot of useful information).

Every guy working there were beyond nice and welcoming. Mark who done my training for the cpc mod 4 & Clint S who done the best. I had my Clint K as my instructor for the week and he settled my nerves and don’t have nothing but good things to say about him. Thank you for giving me the training and getting me that pass. Honestly I recommend going to these guys for your training 10/10

5* D1 Minibus Training2* Customer CareJust passed my D1 test after 3 days of training with Clint at the Theale Depot. His tuition, knowledge and manner were faultless! I can't recommend him enough!Unfortunately the experience prior to the course was very negative. Of the four day course I was only notified of my start time on the first day, 7am. After that first day I was then notified of subsequent times that I would be required and for how long, this varied from full days (7am-5pm) to a 3/4 hour blocks e.g.12-4pm. I did notify the company 3 times prior to the course starting that I have 2 children and I was expected to find childcare and someone to take them to and from school less than 24hours notice. Unfortunately they were not helpful or flexible in the slightest.

Roy and the rest of the staff at 2 Start are so kind and full of knowledge. Roy delivered my NRL. His way of teaching me was very good he spent a lot of time to help and assist to get to the required stranded required. (This review is being written as I wait for my results.). Would strongly recommend 2 Start to anyone that is looking to attend there NRL course.

I have recently progressed through my C+E training with the Theale depot of 2 start ltd. The comprehensive training and patient but thorough guidance throughout resulted in me passing both parts of the test within the week. Training was of a very high standard and facilities onsite were great. Every aspect of the course from start to finish was smooth. Highly recommend for vehicle training.

I have just completed a morning C+E refresher training with 2 Start and I must say I was very impressed. I explained I am returning to driving after a 9 year break and was immediately asked which areas I wanted to cover, therefore tailoring the lesson to my specific needs.The instructor (Roy), was knowledgable and gave good feedback throughout, explaining the reasons for his comments.The vehicle (a nearly new DAF) was clean and very smart.At the end of the lesson we had a debrief and I was invited to contact them again in the future - even if it was just for advice over the phone.It is so refreshing to deal with a professional, friendly and helpful business.If you’re looking for LGV/PCV or CPC training I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending 2 Start.

I’ve just passed my test and I have to say that 2 Start were fantastic throughout the whole process. The whole team are incredibly friendly and professional however I need to give a special thanks to my instructors Rob and Paul. They have provided excellent training and helped me feel confident with my driving ability. I’m eager now to get back on the road again. If you decide to train with 2 Start I’m sure you will enjoy the experience and come out being a competent driver. Good luck!

A first class company which I can't recommend highly enough. High quality equipment which is always clean and maintained to a high standard. Paul is an excellent instructor who inspires confidence and trust. He has a good instinct for identifying your strengths and weaknesses, and giving appropriate instruction where needed and encouragement. My thanks also to 'not so tall Rob' for his excellent training skills and the pep talk before I took the test. First time pass! Couldn't be happier!! Thanks guys and a Merry Christmas 🙂👍

Brilliant team, I had Robert W for when I was in the rigid, brilliant instructor and for funny, made the experience Brilliant and he certainly set me up well for when I moved on to the artic the following week.I did my mod 4 CPC training with Rob C, he knew his stuff and made sure that I knew what I was doing, he made sure I was ready to pass my CPC, which I did.I had Jon as my instructor for the artic, he is brilliant, very interesting man and you'll certainly learn a lot if he teaches you. I passed both my on road and off road tests due to Jon's training.I would certainly recommend doing your class 1 and 2 of your licenses with this company, and any other courses that they have to offer.

Getting in and driving an artic for the first time is a daunting task to say the least. My instructor (Paul) was awesome. His instructions were clear and easy to understand and I'm sure he must have got a little fed up having to repeat himself to me. His patience with me was endless he always stayed calm which made the training quite a relaxed experience and made for a nice drive. He was friendly and great to talk to which made the driving more enjoyable it was actually a good laugh and good fun. I could actually hear Paul's voice in my mind as I took my test like an angel on my shoulder. I passed first time and I can't thank him enough for all his help. I highly recommend 2 start, if I could give more stars I would.Thanks again Paul, wishing you all the best mate.Mr S CurtisPs Paul should definitely get employee of the month again.

They helped me with information regarding all my questions and to improve to my driving skills in order to pass the driving test for cat C.

Thank you for all the help Paul.

Mark (Worthing Manager) and Paul (instructor) worked tirelessly to give me all the help I needed to pass my class C. It took a few goes but I got there and the encouragement was always there. Good facilities at Worthing and I’ll be back their at some point to get my C + E. On passing was being driven back from Lancing and passed Mark in a 2Start Artic training another student heading to Lancing...got a loud congrats blast on the air horn and saw Mark bouncing up and down on his seat and giving me the thumbs up...it made me laugh. Good guys at Worthing & good training.

I've been looking to get into the HGV industry as a lorry driver and I've been looking into booking a course, so I thought I'd try some introduction/trial drives with a few companies to see which company I like the most.After trying a few companies, 2 Start Training in Worthing is by far the best company I've experienced. The instructor Paul was very good, he was able to communicate and teach clearly and effectively and he made me feel at ease.2 Start Training had by far the best lorry to train in. A different company that I had an introduction drive with put me in a old, worn out lorry that broke down!2 Start Training have a professional, cosy office/reception area with break out rooms, along with a fully stocked vending machine. I'll definitely be completing a 5 day course in order to hopefully gain my HGV class 2 (category C) licence.I would highly recommend this company if you're looking to gain qualifications for the haulage industry.
