I attended the car to C+E course. Had the best experience from knowing nothing to passing my test first time all thanks to Phil my instructor, the knowledge and skills he gave me during the two weeks was second to none. Thanks to the whole team at 2 Start as they were all happy to help through the whole process. Whenever I need to do another course they will be the first people I will contact. Five stars isn’t enough.

I completed my car to C+E Fast Track with Alex at Theale and passed first time! I'm in no doubt this was down to expert instruction by Alex who was fantastic throughout my two week course. A professional, knowledgeable instructor who calmly guided me through the process from scratch to test. I would highly recommend 2 Start to anyone wanting to learn how to drive cat C or C+E and no doubt anything else. They have great equipment, facilities and instructors and will be the first choice for me if I look to add any more categories to my license and for CPC training.

I had a really good time with Roy C from 2Start learning how to drive a rough terrain forklift. I thought I had quite a lot of driving experience but learning to drive the rough terrain forklift was one of the most challenging thing I have done for a while. Ray C is a great teacher and simplified the complex process of lifting and moving objects with the forklift by breaking down the various tasks contained in the test into manageable sections so that it was easier to learn. I highly recommend 2start Training and Roy C as a great instructor.

Some of the instructors are 5 star guys, however one of them is not fit for this job, brings his own issues to work and takes it out on his students.There's also another thing, they are 40min away from the test centre and test routes so your 3-4h driving session is almost half spent on driving to and from the routes.So, if you don't mind driving 40-50% of the time off the test route and having an instructor shout at you and put you down, then this provider could be ideal for you.

Passed my C+E today. I've held my C licence for 20 years and it that time I picked up some bad habits. I spent 3 days with Greg then the last 2 with Jon. Between them they fettled my skills. I started the test with a good feeling of confidence. Both instructors were true professional. They are 100% honest in there assessment then they work with you at your pace to address any issues you may have. I feel they have a true passion for their job. The facilities or clean and tidy as are the vehicles. Every aspect is professional. I would have no hesitation recommending 2 Start.

I had a brilliant experience with 2Start Ltd (Worthing). Passed my Class 1 (C+E), and the entire process was smooth. My instructor, Paul, was fantastic – patient, professional, and really understood how to help me succeed. If you're looking for a great training provider, I highly recommend2Start.

Past my category c driving license with rob @ 2 start. I can’t recommend these guys enough. Rob was very calm and gave very clear instructions and advice to improve my driving. He gave grate feedback and positive encouragement. Was happy to answer any questions and concerns I had. Plus I passed my test 1st time with the one week of training. The site is clean and tidy and the lorry’s are kept very clean and tidy as well. Everyone staff member I met at the depot where polite, friendly & approachable. Unfortunately Rob wasn’t present for my test but the depot manager who took me to test was just as polite and friendly. And Rob even took the time to congratulate me after passing.
