From the moment I made contact with the delightful office staff to the moment I walked out the door with my forklift license, Start Training were amazing to work with. With wonderfully welcoming facilities, and amazing trainers, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed my course. As a woman in what could be traditionally assumed a male dominated area of training, I felt supported and welcomed and the trainer Shaun was absolutely fabulous to work with. For training courses that are informative, engaging and enjoyable, I can't recommend Start Training highly enough!
Thanks team!

I required a licence to operate a scissor lift (an "Elevating Working Platform" below 11m) and was sent to attend a 1 day class at "Start Training" to ensure I was fully capable and legally able to commence operating these machines. Start Training assisted prior to booking by suggesting I extend training beyond just operating a scissor-lift to booms and hoists. I found this to be good advice and coupled with excellent theory and hands on practical training enjoyed the training experience. Good Job Start Training team and much appreciated.read more

Finished the two day forklift course. The trainers for each day, Shaun for day one and Dean for day two were both fantastic for the instruction on each. Never would have thought that so much information, all of it useful, could be compressed into two days. Once done it felt like the class had been through a whole semester. All it takes is a lot of work and focus on your part to be able to do well on this course because the trainers provide everything else you need. As a driving Learner I was even given extra time on a forklift in my own private area to make sure I could handle the steering and Shaun was always a good source of encouragement and critique.
All the instructions are clear for the course if you listen and pay attention, and if you do then you will learn and understand everything you need to.
If ever I need to do a course for a license of any kind of machinery I will be looking to Start Training first to see if they teach it.
Wish I could have posted this review a couple of weeks ago but couldn't get around to it.
Cheers,
Alexander.read more
