IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Following a review by the EU Commission, it has been decided that the Driver CPC directive will now specify that ‘a range of different subjects should be covered over the 35 hours.’

This means that drivers can no longer repeat modules in the course of attaining their required 35 training hours over a rolling five-year period.

Course Reviews

I've done my CPC Training with 2 Start in Aldermaston in which I found the training to be brilliant. The training instructors were very friendly and were happy to answer questions that were raised during the course. I will be booking with 2 Start again to carry out more training.

After 24 years service in the Armed Forces. 2 Start have been able to provide and deliver the skills required for my next career in road haulage. Prices are competitive and the training is executed in a professional but friendly manner that for me ensured successful completion of my ADR course, CPC and Class 2. Many thanks to Paul, Daisy, Ken, Robin, Don and all the rest of your team. See you again soon. Mickey

Many thanks to all at 2-Start. Professional from the first contact. Supportive during the early admin stages, and scheduling in CPC & Driver training. The on-line theory training was excellent and the week of CPC sessions was really useful for someone new to the industry. The driver training was well structured and successfully brought me through the test. Site facilities are smart, vehicles new and clean and all staff friendly (especially the dog). Glad I made the decision to go with them.
