I completed a 3 day course (excavator, skid steer and backhoe) yesterday with Macca. I had a great time and learned a lot from Macca. It's a great team at Start Training, the crew is knowledgeable and helpful... I feel well armed with what I've learned from Macca and feel well prepared for the challenges that await... Thanks Macca...

Brilliant experience with the trainer, Macca and the Start Training organisation. Macca's knowledge is extensive and thorough on all the mobile equipment, relevant Acts and regulations. And he applies and enforces that from start to finish. His practical examples on the equipment was very impressive and his ability to teach and instruct from novices to experienced people is super effective and very engaging. Keep it going. Thanks.. . .

I did my excavator license at START TRAINING January 2018. I chose the 1 day course as I’d had experience in them. This class of 7 guys on this day, was absolutely amazing to watch the instructor BRAD W, have many machines running with mostly newbies on them for the first time and to watch BRAD W handle everything at once going to every machine back n forth.

It was really good experience with start training. Trainers are not very strict as they know whoever come here to get any ticket They are not professionals. I took my forklift LF& LO from them . It was so easy to get both tickets from them. My trainer John was really good with good attitude . I extremely recommend start training to anyone. Who dont wana pay alot of money as I found they are cheaper then others in the market. Thank you Start Traning 👍👍👍

Highly recommend start training ferntree gully to others. I learnt a lot over the 2 day course. I am glad i decided to do it. I now feel confident to safely use high risk access equipment. The way the information was presented was fantastic. The practice workbook helped me retain the information well. I also throughly enjoyed the experience we had a few laughs along the way and was less boring than expected. Brad W took our class, couldn’t ask for a better training experience. Thankyou all very much. Jake.

I just completed the 2 Day EWP and Yellow Card Licence yesterday with Steve.C I gained confidence in using the Boomlift thanks to Steve's instructions and experience and the time I was to pactice on the Boom lift. Can't thank Steve.C and Start Training for excellent facilities and training. Just remember to rug up when outside for Boom Lift practice as it can get quite chilly up above the buildings.

Good course. Covered a lot. My only worry was that the 2 trainers would often disagree on things that should be fact and would have a little debate over the technical right answer which often led to confusion. But otherwise was actually an enjoyable course which was great.

Excellent teaching methods from our Trainer, Shawn, he got everyone to participate, and we all felt part of the class. Forgot the other gentleman's name, ooh what a rich of experience he has, he got everything on his finger tips. Honestly, I enjoyed my first drive of the forklift and though I was nervous most of the time and made some mistakes, these two gentlemen managed to bring my confidence back. Enough respect. #ItsAllAboutSafety, I will remember this from our Trainer.
