From Forces to freight: Why logistics is the ideal next step

You’ve already got the mindset: discipline, precision, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. Now, it’s about turning that into a new career that rewards you for it.

At 2 Start Training, we help service leavers move confidently into the transport and logistics sector with the skills, qualifications, and real support to succeed from day one.

Whether you’re still serving, about to leave, or recently transitioned, the move into logistics is smoother than you think, especially with ELCAS-funded training designed specifically for you.

Why Logistics?

The logistics industry thrives on reliability, attention to detail, and safety, all qualities you’ve built your career on already. Now it’s about applying them in a civilian environment that still values structure, progression, and teamwork.

From operating heavy goods vehicles (HGV) to transporting hazardous materials, there’s a wide range of career paths that offer security, independence, and solid pay.

And with the demand for qualified drivers and transport managers at an all-time high, there’s never been a better time to make the switch.

Why 2 Start?

We tailor your training to your goals. Whether you’re aiming for LGV Cat C+E, Forklift Instructor, or a Dangerous Goods qualification, we help you pick the course that fits both your current situation and your future ambitions.

We also understand life after service can feel overwhelming. That’s why our team supports you every step of the way, from applying for Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) to booking your tests and preparing you for work.

And with six depots across the South Coast, flexible scheduling, and instructors who genuinely care, you're never alone on your journey.

We’ll help you find the right course, get your ELCAS claim sorted, and train with instructors who understand what it takes to succeed in and out of uniform.

“The skills I learned in the military gave me the edge. 2 Start gave me the tools and confidence to take the next step, and I’m now doing a job I genuinely enjoy.”

We recently launched our new ‘Course to Career’ Facebook Group, designed for 2 Start trainees who are looking for job opportunities, upskilling advice, and referrals through our trusted recruitment partners.
