2 Start recognise that each learner is different and their instructors adapt teaching styles to suit individual needs, ensuring every student gets the support they require.
Transitioning from military to civilian life can be challenging. After years under strict regulations and command, taking full control of one’s career path can feel overwhelming.
Service personnel often require an adjustment period. Juggling housing, family, and employment adds pressure, which is why choosing the right training provider, course, and career path is key to a successful resettlement.
Enhanced Learning Credits (ELCs) ease this process by funding up to 80% of course fees, giving service leavers more freedom to pursue the right qualification.
No two training packages are the same
Courses vary widely depending on the provider. 2 Start recognise that each learner is different and their instructors adapt their teaching styles to suit individual needs, ensuring every student gets the support they require.
Why does flexibility matter?
Flexibility is crucial when retraining. That’s why 2 Start offers a wide range of logistics-based courses designed to bridge the gap between military and civilian careers, many of which offer high earning potential.
2 Start value the transferable skills gained in service—leadership, discipline, adaptability, and technical ability—and help convert them into recognised qualifications. Their dedicated training advisors provide expert guidance throughout your transition, helping you align your skills with a rewarding new career.
2 Start are proud to support service leavers, with a 94% satisfaction score. With ELCs covering 80% of course fees, trainees typically pay only 20%—e.g., just £760 for a £4,000 Large Goods Vehicle (LGV) Car to C+E course (credit-dependent).
Courses for the following logistics categories
2 Start advise you choose a course that offers long-term growth rather than short-term value. The right fit will set the foundation for your next professional chapter.
They offer flexible training—on-site at one of their depots or at a convenient off-site location. Their training not only equips you with the practical skills needed to pass your tests but also prepares you for civilian work culture. Many of their instructors are former service members, so they understand your needs.
If you’ve already used your ELCs, they also offer additional training packages outside the ELCAS scheme.
2 Start offer training for Lorry Mounted Cranes, Slinger Signallers and Tipper Trucks if you are looking to upskill in the construction sector. If you are looking to enhance your knowledge on the carriage of dangerous goods by road, then their Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (DGSA) course is an excellent path to choose.
