    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

    Hands down the best training/accreditation experience I have had in my 10 years in construction. Nick is personable and patient, puts you at ease and makes the experience enjoyable. He makes you want to be a better operator. Thanks again Nick! (Facilities were great, easy to find, plenty of parking, clean and organised, tea and coffee and kitchen facilities)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

    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.read more

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.
