If you wait until they shown signs of being ready it is a much quicker/easier process.

I second what Natalie said if you go by age along then your child may not be ready and it will take alot longer your better off waiting for them to show signs of readiness another tip once you start don't go back it just confuses the child and makes the whole experience harder

Wait for signs that they are ready and move to training underwear with frequent trips to the potty. Have one in most frequently used rooms. I used a gummy treat for trying to go and that seemed to help

You can get ready, read books, get the potty and seat for toilet and get them to pick some underwear they like the look of.
My son was 2.5 he was interested and asked to wear his big boy pants. Lots of his friends at nursery were potty trained so he wanted to use the toilet too.

Im going to disagree, from what ive read signs of readiness are a myth.... obviously certain things will help but modern day nappies means we often wait too long.
We used oh crap book. A few days bottomless, a few weeks with leggings/trousers no underwear and then introduced underwear. Be consistent and try not to put too much pressure on.

Second on the oh crap potty training book.

Signs of readiness is actually a myth.
If you google ‘ERIC potty training’ it explains how to potty train. The new NHS guidance has been developed in collaboration with ERIC. They also actually suggest introducing a potty as young as 6-9 months now! x
