Don’t drop a clanger and train in a banger…. be smart and train with 2 Start.
When choosing your training company, it’s important to have a look at what you’re going to be training in. A beaten up old truck that has driven half way around the world is not going to make your life any easier. It has almost become a standard that training companies would use old vehicles for driver training, some vehicles 10 years and older. This could make the vehicle unreliable uncomfortable and difficult to drive. Little things like air conditioning should not be over looked, driver comfort and fatigue play a vital role when a driver is maintaining a high concentration level for long periods of time.
This is where 2 Start Training have excelled in being able to provide customers with new up to date equipment, making training more enjoyable and comfortable. We have now been trading since November 2008, in which time we have invested heavily in our equipment to ensure we offer you the best tools for the job. Our new training vehicles consist of new DAF LF ridged vehicles and DAF CF tractor units. Our aim at 2 Start is to have vehicles which are no older than 4 years old and we are constantly investing in our fleet to ensure we continue to provide the best facilities for our customers.
It’s easy to say that we are the ‘Premier Driving School’, but the proof is in the facilities offered and the results obtained by our students.
Approved DVSA Testing Centre
2 Start now have our very own DVSA customer test site available to all of our Hampshire customers. This gives our students a major advantage as they can use the facility throughout their course.
Hasn’t everyone got a simulator site?
Unfortunately not. To have a site big enough is rare in our area, as hard standing land is at a premium. Some training centres have been reported to train in unsuitable locations such as muddy fields and truck services as they don’t have access to an exclusive training area. This sort of standard is not acceptable and is unfair on the paying customer.
Can students practice on the approved reversing area?
With this new facility students will be able to practice their reversing on the actual area where they will be testing. On the day of the test, students are able to practice the manoeuvre and then begin the test; a major advantage as no other training providers in the area offer these facilities.
What does this mean to our Hampshire customers?
When completing your driving test, you will now be able to complete the practical element at our DVSA Customer test site with the DVSA examiners coming to us. The DVSA are looking to close a number of testing facilities and have requested training providers to supply test center facilities. 2 Start Training have now taken the initiative to provide an alternative testing facility. Managing Director Paul Moon quoted “We have spent a lot of time and money on what is now an excellent facility for all of our students, we hope this will help secure practical testing in the Hampshire area for years to come.” 2 Start Training are also looking at the possibilities of adding another DVSA customer test site at our Reading depot.
Will the testing be the same?
Yes, the practical test will be the same with the reversing exercise, road drive and coupling and uncoupling procedure where required.
