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!
A BIG thanks to Lewis at J Coates driver training. The knowledge and guidance you offered me ensured I did pass my HGV C+E at first attempt.
My advice for anyone doing their driver training is to listen and learn as these guys have seen it all.
Was so nervous about this but Tristan was amazing and gave me all the confidence i needed to pass first time! Couldn't be happier with the training, thank you. Blue lights here i come 😬
A big thank you to J Coates, and especially Chris Eeling, for helping me learn and pass my minibus test! Who would have thought i’d pass eh?! Very grateful, would highly recommend!
