Excellent Forklift Training Experience!I recently completed my forklift license training with Start Training, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. The trainers were knowledgeable, patient, and professional, providing clear instructions and practical tips throughout the course. The theory sessions were thorough and well-structured, making it easy to grasp essential concepts.The practical training was outstanding, with plenty of hands-on experience that boosted my confidence. The evaluation process was fair and comprehensive, ensuring I was fully prepared to operate a forklift safely and effectively.I highly recommend Start Training to anyone looking to obtain their forklift license. They provide top-notch training and genuinely care about your success.

For me it's a great overall price for the included training package. Having 4 different sites options for on-site training available is also a plus for courses availability.Excellent customer service from Jimmy Patel who helped my enquiries about the price, setting up preferable site based on my location and training date that suits my schedule, had a great experience so far.
