I just passed my Class 1 first time and couldn't be more grateful to Lewis and the rest of the team at J Coates. Their relaxed and professional approach made learning such a major new skill feel manageable and even enjoyable. Lewis was incredibly knowledgeable and had a brilliant way of teaching that put me at ease and boosted my confidence. Exceptional service all around, highly recommend J Coates!"

Steve Croft is an exceptional trainer. He explained every detail thoroughly, answered all questions patiently, and generously shared his experience throughout the training. His knowledge of CPC is truly outstanding, making the learning process both engaging and informative. Additionally, J Coates (HGV Service) Ltd provided prompt, efficient, and accurate services. A highly professional and well-organized team. I would highly recommend them.

I just passed my Class 1 first time with a massive thanks to Lewis and the rest of the team, their relaxed approach and tuition makes learning a massive new skill seem that bit less scary! I absolutely loved the week I spent there and couldn’t have done it without their help 🤗

This week I did a D1 and CPC training course with J Coates.
The whole process was so easy even booking the course was hassle free and simple, I even had all the prep material I needed to make the whole thing easier for me.
What a fantastic week it’s been and my amazing instructor Simon made it even better! I couldn't have asked for anything better. He was kind, friendly , approachable, knowledgeable, supportive and extremely patient taking the time to explain things until I understood them properly. He was calm and very reassuring when it came to test day making sure I was ready to go and was fully prepared .
I literally went from only driving a van for a couple of days to having a D1 and CPC under my belt and that's thanks to Simon. The dedication and hard work he puts in shows tremendously and not only am I qualified but I also feel confident to use the skills I have been given going forward.
I really cant recommend highly enough.

And also a massive thank you to Simon 🙂

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
