We recently had an on site LO Licence for my team of 4 organised through Start Training by Kyle. The service by Kyle was amazing, he was able to assist with booking in dates at the last minute and allowing us to work around our busy times. This has greatly assisted our company to allow us to get all team members licences on site without the need to take too much time off work or travel to training facilities.The trainer Barry was very informative and the team had a great experience with him.Overall I am very happy with the level of service by all parties at Start Training and would highly recommend them for anyone looking to do on site training.Luke GebuysWarehouse Manager - Dshop

When very recently i attended practical First aid and CPR training, i was very impressed with our trainer who had so much knowledge and practical experience. He also injected humour here and there which i found refreshing….all in good taste.The venue itself is clean, spacious and user friendly. I had nil complaints.

Lorna Mann

1732260929

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.
