CHECK OUT OUR REVIEWS
Start Training are Melbourne’s Highest Rated Forklift Training Organisation and we are consistently rated highly for customer service, student support and trainer knowledge, but don’t take our word for it, check out some of our reviews below:
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!

The course was easy to do, well organised and the instructor helped us with the appropriate information so we all understood what was needed. Also the course wasn’t too long, too strung out. It kept our attention on the info at hand and helped us to see the importance of what we were learning and why. Very easy to follow and informative....read more

Provides best guidance to all learners. Chris was my trainer. He helped a lot and also in a easy and friendly way. He and other two trainers were best for learning. They keep full attention to all students personally and make sure we make minimum mistakes.

Start Training give an excellent theory lesson which have a lot of details. Their theory test is also very good for trainee's mind power, as it does not have many multiple-choice questions. Their practical training is very details and the period depends on individual's need until the trainer see the trainee is good enough for the test or the trainee feel he/she is ready for the test.read more

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
