Chris is an excellent trainer who explains everything perfectly

The driving instructors were brilliant. I was particularly nervous, but both of the instructors I had for my reverse parking and actual mini bus training put me at ease and were amazing. The experience was made even better by passing the practical test and the reverse parking first time! Thank you

Great teacher and great delivery of topic

I completed my Class 1 training with J Coates. Overall experience was great. Both of my trainers, Tristan and Lewis, were extremely knowledgeable and supportive. I felt guided and well supported every step of the training. Passed 1st time all the the tests. Just follow their instructions and you will surely succeed too.

Instructor (Kelly swift) was just so helpfully. she really help me control my nerves on the day and her training methods where amazing. I really couldn’t of asked for a better instructor

Had kelly as my driver in instructor , she was lovely and patient with me and helped easy my anxiety and got me passed.

Great teaching had Liam the trainer who was superb really calmed my nerves and got me learning it all. Can not thank this company enough great service from start to finish

Massive thank you to the legend that is Kelly for getting me through my Class 1 first time with only 3 minors! She is knowledgeable, patient, encouraging and genuinely cares about teaching you to be the best you can be.
Huge thanks as well to everyone else that has dealt with my endless emails and got me through my CPC and reverse exercise, and sat naved us round Birmingham.
Will highly recommend you guys to anyone wanting to learn!

I had a brilliant experience training for my C1 licence with this company. My instructor, Kelly, was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping me pass. Thanks to her excellent training and support, I passed with zero minors! I’m really grateful for all the hard work from Kelly and the team, and I’d highly recommend this company to anyone looking for professional driver training.

Hi. Has been a pleasure to renew a 2nd time my CPC with JCoates. Professional trainers. Se you in 5 years. 😀😀😀

A very big thank you to Liam for getting me passed. He was very quick to pick up on my bad habits and put me right, he even jumped in the driving seat to demonstrate how relaxing the test can be to give myself more time to make better decisions and put that into actions which payed off. So again thank you, great trainer.

A very big thank you to all that help from J Coates, for my achievement that I have accomplished today. This would have been a no no if it was not for the training was full filling and has it been an experience to remember. Once again many thanks to the team that helped me.

Chris was up to his usual standard. A lot of interaction from the group. Again a fest flowing course.
Just wondering if Chris had worked for jackanory in a past life, had a story about everything. lol.

Another good day with Chris on the Cpc. Made the week fly by. Cheers.

Good course content and very well delivered in a way that was both engaging and enjoyable

Covers a lot of information related to driving and working hours regulations, both in the UK and internationally. The videos and real life examples make this easy to digest rather than just being bombarded with facts and figures.
Chris, the trainer, engages well with all training delegates and makes sure that there's plenty of opportunity to ask questions about the material itself, and how it relates to your role.
