The staff at 2 Start were very welcoming. The instructor I had was absolutely incredible. I was very nervous at the start of my course but he made me feel so relaxed and at ease, and because of that I managed to pass my Cat C first time. Thank you Sean and 2 Start!
I will definitely be going back in the future to get my C + E.

I did my Cat C here on behalf of the company I work for on the 22nd July for a week and passed first time. They really are an amazing company, very friendly staff and they teach you the correct way. I had Sean and Jane as my instructors and they were amazing! If you're thinking on getting a bigger licence then I 100% recommend 2 Start. They did me proud and I still am looking at my certificate with such pride!
Thank you so much!

I had Jane as my trainer - She was fantastic, relaxed, informative and gave me excellent feedback during my course, would definitely recommend 2start as a training provider. Special shout out to Jack in the office, during the whole booking process he took care of everything for me, and really put me at ease when I was spending a fair old wedge of cash, an investment in my future.
Online theory training was very well thought out and easy to use. Would have been more convenient if they had a mobile app, but passed my CPC case studies with 94% so clearly it works!
Vehicles were all new, very clean and very well maintained, vehicle checks performed daily ensuring your vehicle is ready to go at the start of your lesson!
No wonder 2start is so busy!

First day was mostly Inn the class room with Jane our instructor who was vastly experienced, very relaxed and gave positive in couragement, we did get a chance to drive our forklift, I could have Dunn with longer on it just to get my confidence back been a way from it so long but no complaints can only hope to do better. Can recommend the course.

I had training from 2Start towards both my Class 2 and Class 1 LGV tests. I didn't therefore have any hesitation when I needed to undertake ALLMI Lorry Loader training too.
The whole experience from initial enquiry to training and ultimately theory and practical tests was superlative. I'd highly recommend them for any training you might need in this sector. The office staff and instructors are consumate professionals.

A very professional driving school from the moment I contacted them.Jack in the office Is very helpful and knowledgeable and got me in for a free driving assessment with Neil my instructor. Once I completed that I booked my week course the very following week.I had Neil the whole week to myself for three hour lessons.He is very knowledgeable and patient explained everything and broke it down into manageable chunks for me to understand practice and make perfect.Nothing is rushed and there is plenty of time to get to grips with coupling/uncoupling,reversing exercise. When it came to my test he had me in a position where I was capable of doing it and starting to believe in my own capabilities and all I had to do now is demonstrate the skills that Neil had taught me.Neil is a great instructor and can’t recommend enough as are the rest of the crew I met at 2 start training.All I can end in saying it was money well spent.

I did the class 2 and CPC with 2 start in Worthing with many thanks to Mark it was a breeze, couldn't have have had a better experience anywhere else, cheers 2 start training! If any of you potential learners are looking to get training PLEASE go direct with 2 start training and NOT through an agent as they don't help you get work as promised and charge way more than these guys will. good luck to you all.

I did my test with Portsmouth branch, from beginning I was assured by Tim and been navigated by very professional trainer 'Don',. I had fantastic time passing my exam as well as feel very confident for my forthcoming future job. My trainer a very knowledgeable man and with great enthusiasm lead me to such a wonderful and positive outcome. 2Start I am coming back to you for Artic and hopefully you will arrange Don as my instructor. Chess to all you wonderful people at 2Start.

4 years ago. I passed my C1 with 2 Start.
I had Robin as my instructor. He was very clear in his instruction and encouragement to help me achieve my pass certificate.
Recently, I returned to 2 Start to obtain my C+E entitlement. I booked the training with Jack who was gracious enough to provide Robin as my instructor once again. Between Jack and Robin, They both made my training experience easy to apply myself to.
So if you're looking for the Number 1 training provider, Look no further. Everyone on the 2 Start team are very friendly, professional and helpful. 10/10.

Passed my Cat C today at 2 Start Worthing, the Instructor Steve Gardner and trainee instructor Tracey were excellent, as a result i passed with only 2 minors, everything was explained very clearly and simply and in a way that was easy to understand, above all it was fun. I have requested that i do my cat C+E at the same location with the same instructors, i really cant fault anything about the course or staff, Excellent thank you all very much.

My whole experience with 2start for the four days was simply enjoyable. Clean vehicles , excellent driving instructors there to help you to pass your test. My instructor ( Ken ) was really helpful. He pinpointed my short falls and we really worked on them during on the road practices. Thank you 2start for your help in passing my test I really appreciate it and would definitely recommend you to anyone out there wishing to take HGV test.
Few weeks down the line I realized I needed Class 1 . Started the 5 day lessons with Neil an excellent instructor. I found the reversing quite challenging first few days but then the penny dropped and I passed on the test day . Thank you 2 start .

Excellent. I was impressed when I completed the National and International CPC course in 2014. Since I have opened my own logistics company and use 2-Start for all my training needs. I never have to chase information. A very good local, friendly service.

Many thanks to all at 2-Start. Professional from the first contact. Supportive during the early admin stages, and scheduling in CPC & Driver training. The on-line theory training was excellent and the week of CPC sessions was really useful for someone new to the industry.
The driver training was well structured and successfully brought me through the test.
Site facilities are smart, vehicles new and clean and all staff friendly (especially the dog).
Glad I made the decision to go with them.

I write this review for Worthing branch. After an awful experience at LDT in Lancing I've been extremely lucky to be assigned to 2Start Training in Worthing. Why am I saying this? Because I met one of the best driving instructors in South of England. His name is Steven Gardner and he has everything necesary to teach other peaple to drive a lorry; patience, methods and knowledge. Well done and thank you from all my heart.

I passed practical category C test a couple of days ago. And my CPC test 2 months ago.
It wasn't from the first try with the driving part as i would have wanted,however it happened after trying my best.
I had Neil as a instructor in the beggining,a great guy and also Robin in the end also helped me a lot for the final exam.
For all other problems regarding payments and procedures i spoked with Jack that took care of everything through emails,starting with booking me for the restest and helping with the finance.
It was a bit more expensive for me through finance so i would suggest to try to pay all at once.
