Trainers were excellent in both teaching theoretical and practical driving with unlimited training and re-attempts, massive props to them.However, website is misleading. I applied for my High-Reach Forklift License after finishing my Forklift (LF) License thinking that i would be receiving a (more specific) License as per the website suggests on the course listing. However, I recieved a Verification of Competency (VOC), I called to complain and was told that i would be contacted via email or phone on Monday 18th November concering my complaint however i have yet to recieve a callback since and a my digital copy of the VOC I completed on the day.Hopefully I can get this resolved.

I coordinate a GTO and often have to book in multiple apprentices on short notice. Kyle (Course Consultant) made things so easy for me. I was able to have flexible payment options, the ability to book over the phone or via email, and the flexibility to choose days and times that suited me and my apprentices. I'll be calling up Kyle from now onwards when I need a course for one of my staff.

They explained everything in such detail that was easy for everyone to understand & we’re super approachable when assistance & guidance was needed.Theo, Ben & Colin were all great to deal with & we cannot thank you enough for making this such a smooth process for our team.We will highly recommend you guys in the future!

I attended a first aid and cpr course recently. I was able to enrol on line for a course the next day. Pre training was on line and not difficult. It was the best first aid course I have ever done because the trainer was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and original in his training technique. Thanks Adam Jacobs for making a potentially boring four hours of training really interesting.

I failed the first practical test because I was nervous. The friendly staff quickly arranged retraining and reassessment for me. When I took the reassessment, the assessor was very kind and experienced, which helped me relax, and I passed the test smoothly. Therefore, I highly recommend Starttraining!
