Had a good experience with them.very supportive,lovely staff ,clear guidance,safe environment. Everything perfect. Thank you everyone who support me to get this 💜
The forklift training was thorough and well-structured, covering safety, load handling, and practical skills. Instructors were knowledgeable, ensuring confidence in real-world operation. Hands-on practice made learning engaging and effective. Highly recommended for anyone seeking certification or improving forklift skills.
Completed my CPR and First Aid Certificate with Adam, was by far the most informative course l have done thanks to Adam's extensive knowledgeand experience in the field.Fantastic communicator and ensuring the group got involved to have a sound understanding of the importance of their active role and responsibility in a first aid situation and practice.
Did excavator course in Ferntree Gully, 100% recommended. Staff are fantastic massive shout out to Caleb, Michael and Ryan all absolute legends. Will be back to do more training
I came here without any experience to drive a folklift. But Start Training gave me A to Z training, knowledge and confidence to make it at my first attempt. Cheers!
It was a great experience with the professional team Start Training in Forklift Truck Training!Everything was perfect! Classes, material, trainers.I highly recommend it.
At Start Training it was the most exciting time of my life where I learned Health and Safety in depth when I was doing my Forklift licence. I have been seeing Forklifts at work as just machinery used in our warehouses and factory to lift loads not knowing if not carefully driven they can cause serious accidents and people can die and a lot of damage can be caused by careless driving of forklifts. After the training in my own workplace when I see a Forklift I see a good machinery to use to lift our loads but I also see a dangerous tool if not driven carefully. I will always keep the concepts taught at Start Training and continue to read and watch videos to contribute to a Safe Work health place.Thank you Start Training.
Absolute best training facility. My trainers Caleb and Micheal were not only advanced at training techniques but also had a passion for their teaching. Loved every minute of the training
Thank you for hosting the forklift training course.The 2 trainers I had were fantastic and very helpful. They really care about helping you pass. Scott was excellent and the other trainer (I forgot his name, apologies) he was very helpful with the maths component of the assessment. Very good experience and highly recommended. I will most certainly recommend your school to those seeking to obtain their forklift license.Great job! Keep up the good work!P.S. the MC Hammer picture on one of the drums with the words "you can't touch this!" through the chicanes cracked me up. Cheers!
Great team and great place to get your Forklift License. Very hands-on, they know their stuff and know how to pass it on.They take their time to make sure you understand and will do what they can to help you reach your goal
Great staff who were really helpful. Chris especially was excellent as a trainer. Excellent facilities for training too. Highly recommend courses from them.
