Fantastic experience: Had Will for my C1 driver training. Was really helpful with getting used to the vehicle and manoeuvres. Passed first time.

Fantastic experience: Jon was a vert instructor, made the week very interesting

Fantastic experience: Jon is a very good instructor and is very engaging. Nice to be treated as an adult. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Very interesting Jon nos he stuff

Fantastic experience: Great training centre, I had Phil as my instructor who is great and very knowledgeable who explains things very clearly so it's easy to understand

Fantastic experience: Just passed my C+E with 2 start training Portsmouth, I would highly recommend this place. My Instructor Will was fantastic, so professional and made me feel at ease. Great week!

Fantastic experience: Really good course with well paced instruction. Simon was very knowledgable and had a good balance of explanation whilst letting you learn on the practical elements. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic course, Simon was an excellent trainer, pitching the content at just the right level, good practical examples given to back up the theory, patient and professional. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Forklift training with Rob, enjoyable day

Fantastic experience: Had Rob for a forklift refresher course. Much more thorough than my previous one with a different company. Highly recommend. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Simon the instructor was very patient and would highly recommend him and the company for training. First time using a Moffett fort lift truck and took some getting use to but with Simons great man management I managed to pass the course

Positive experience: The instructors are good, they try their very best but the success rate isn’t very good. As a retiring member of the armed forces the way the CTP courses are set up don’t allow for a great chance of success. The Cat C course is too short and the test routes are through some of the busiest areas outside of London. The skills required to navigate these test routes cannot be achieved in such a short period of time. I had what I believe to be the best instructor there , Mr Phil Thomas. He was kind, understanding, pragmatic and a pleasure to be around. My only regret is letting him down and failing both my Cat C and Cat C+E road tests.

Fantastic experience: A really good place to come and do your driver training. All the staff are really friendly and the instructors really take the time to explain and give you all the information you need. My Instructor Phil had been in the industry for 40 plus years and there wasn't much he didn't know. Thank you 2 Start.

Fantastic experience: Completed & Passed my C+E training with Phil @ Portsmouth depot.... Excellent trainer with years of experience and fantastic interpersonal skills. Made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. So thank you Phil & all the staff at 2 Start Portsmouth.

Fantastic experience: I did the ADR course with Clinton Steggles in October and thanks to his clear tutoring, I passed! He really does take the time to explain things if you are unsure about anything. No question is a silly question! He really does go the extra mile to help. I cannot recommend 2star Ltd highly enough! Thanks Clint !

Fantastic experience: I have just passed the C+E test first time after having spent 2 weeks on the 2Start Car to C+E training. It is a tough 2 weeks but the instructors were superb in gradually progressing my skills to the level required to pass the test. I cannot thank Jon, Will and Phil enough. Their experience and approach made it a brilliant and enjoyable experience whilst focussing on the areas needed for improvement. Pleasure working with you all!

Fantastic experience: 2start Portsmouth were absolutely top notch, my instructors Jon and Phil were both incredible not only at teaching you how to drive but also being down to earth with you and allowing you to feel more relaxed and make you enjoy the experience that much more, I would advise anyone who wants to take a course they should seriously consider using 2start Portsmouth

Fantastic experience: Will was great, very supportive and helped me to pass my C1 first time. Great place to learn and take your test.

Fantastic experience: Phill was a great instructor ever with the fact he on had a few hours so show me around some routes And dave the examiner with a big smile keeps you calm and relax from the start would really recommend people come in here to do their test
