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 👍!

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!

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
