From the first time I got in touch with Andrew in my hour of need, they bent over backwards to help. Really down to earth, genuine people and company. Excellent instructors and they do their best to help. I’m pleased to say I passed first time for my D1 and D1+E.
Thank you, highly recommend this company.

A huge thank you to Chris for the 5 days of Drivers CPC online training. Very clear with explanations and examples and always willing to answer any questions. Highly recommend.

I had an excellent experience with J Coates and highly recommend them. From start to finish, the process was quick and easy. The financial approval took less than 10 minutes, and the exceptional service continued from there.
Alec made everything straightforward and simple, answering any questions I had within minutes and taking care of all the arrangements. My instructor, Chris, was a true professional. He taught me everything I needed to know from scratch, giving me the confidence to drive and, most importantly, pass my practical test on the first try.
Thanks to the quality and super service I received, I passed both my theory and practical tests on the first attempt, earning my HGV Class 1 (C+E) license.
