Had a amazing instructor that put me at ease straight away, past first time, highly recommend, Simon was great, very informative and knowledgeable and had a way of teaching that makes you comfortable and confident, had a lovely week and can’t thank him enough 👍🏼
Outstanding course experience. Chris is an excellent instructor - his teaching style is engaging, clear and incredibly effective. Time genuinely flies when learning with him. I enjoyed every moment of his training sessions, and it’s clear he’s the perfect person for the job.

Amazing tutor ,helps everone feel comfortable & come out of there shell and he does have a slight sence of humour 😁
The online course was conducted by Chris today and was really informative.
Chris made the day extremely enjoyable
Thanks Chris
Chris has made the CPC courses enjoyable, he has delivered the courses professionally and made the 7 hours feel like a lot less, very knowledgeable and made it a relaxed feeling when presenting each course
J Coates have been very helpful all through my LGV class 2 training.
CPC completes it.
Another Great experience with Chris doing module 4 CPC.
I had Lewis as my coach and was so so helpful and told me every I needed to know, he was very polite and friendly.
Had my CPC module 4 with these guys today and done it down in melton Mowbray, very professional but laid back with giving me everything I needed to know to pass, had an hour or so before the test and was done on the same site, all passed, would recommend to anyone needing anything HGV! Cheers, Brandon
I passed my C1 first time with J Coates in St Albans. My instructor, Tristan, was absolutely brilliant- really friendly, answered all my questions and made me feel so comfortable. I would definitely recommend Tristan and J Coates to anyone who is looking to do their C1!
Once again, Exceptional service from JCoates, but of course without a Great teacher you would not get Great results, big thanks to Lewis, trainer was exceptionally professional throughout the course beginning with Reverse, Coupling and Uncoupling, explained everything throughout taught me many many new things about class 1 in Training days all the way up to the test day on Which i Passed, there is so many thanks i could say, but what stands out is the trainers knowledge, teaching skills, friendliness and confidence. Very happy, thanks to Lewis.
Just finished my Class 2 training and test with Lewis with a first time pass. Been between the St Albans and Northampton sites for training, all great guys and very welcoming. Lewis was very patient and understanding, giving great advice and showed a genuine interest in getting me through the test. Highly recommend J Coates and the team if you are looking to train.
Lewis was brilliant. Doing c1 for ambulance and he is a great instructor. Passed c1 test today and felt so comfortable with Lewis and confident on the test. Thank you Lewis
Day 5, CPC course. I would highly recommend J Coates for this course, for all the reasons stated in my previous reviews. And if all the Tutors are like Chris, you'll have a good week.
Brilliant for CPC training
Had a virtual CPC course from Chris, will use again 👍
Doing my cpc with Chris he makes a long day on it go very quick with the way he delivers the course
Have had 2 tests with these guys and all I can say is absolutely brilliant. Chris is very patient and helped me pass both my HGV class 1 and D1 licence :) very very recommended company :)
A huge thank you to Tristan, passing 1st time! He was patient, kind and friendly! Helped me feel completely at ease on my training! A credit to J Coates as an instructor.
I have been doing driver training for my C1 license for the past 2 days with Lewis and can honestly say it’s been great. Learning to drive in a new vehicle felt a little stressful but Lewis ensured that the environment was comfortable and gave me solid advice which enabled me to come out with a pass; first time and with only 2 minors. Thank you so much for your help!
