Had a great course and passed my C+E first time. My instructor Kelly was great and had good knowledge and advice.

Massive thank you to Liam for helping me pass my HGV Class 1 test! From day one he was fully committed to getting me through. His training style is clear, patient and very professional, and he makes sure you understand everything properly rather than just rushing through it.

Liam goes the extra mile for his students and really puts in the effort to build your confidence and driving skills. I couldn’t have asked for a better trainer. If you’re thinking of doing your HGV training, Liam is the man to go to. Highly recommended!

This is12 months ago (Reason for putting up my review up now, is because I am a regular reviewer, I hadn't done a review here, Hence I got a reminder come through that came up saying I hadn't left my opinion, & I want people to make sure they know what to do for when looking to book training,
So here I am. :)

Going from my C to C+E

My 3A (Coupling/uncoupling trailer and reversing) they passed me YAY... But, I believe I had concern's on my pass and didnt mention it at the time to them, and I wish I did and they swear they wouldnt have passed me/anyone and maybe this review would have been differant

3B Training
On my way to the test centre for my on road test after four days of training, there was an accident on the way to the test centre, and turned up late for my test, and couldn't take my test, when I got home I called the company and after a long frustrating difference of opinion conversation over the phone, they re-booked my test and as its so expencive for the training I couldn't afford extra hours before my next new 3B test, due to the booking dates available I had to wait for weeks without being able to afford the extra few hours of refreshed training, Anyway, I failed, I suppose this wasn't totally their I fault my 3B, but they wasn't approachable "in my opinion" or understanding as conversations with them that "they were right, and I'm not, again, as not knowing as much as them, I wasfeeling very uneasy

Reasons I believe I failed wasnt hepled by the instructor who was teaching me was new to training! yes he knows how to take corners etc but didnt know the route enough at all, I thought they had to have extra intence training in knowing where the routes are, (Now I know we all have to start somewhere) But it would have made it easier training for the me/pupil if the route was known properly, without missing turnings that I should have taken... I felt uneasy with my instructor & what with nerves on top didnt help. He was crude rude and of no interest in what was happening

I've now passed my C+E somewhere else and can see the pros & cons of researching the training companies that are out there.

(DO YOUR RESEARCH) dont be affraid to ask question's, No question's are stupid question's
Don't be afraid like I was, and not pull up any concerns AT THE TIME, after all it's a lot of money your handing over. I've learnt the instructor is no longer with them, what does that tell you!
I wouldn't recommend this company
DONT USE J.COATES

I have had a great experience doing my mod 4 CPC i was with a really nice group and we had Simon and Liam as our instructors who were both brilliant and explained everything so well I got a 100% pass, I’m so happy and would always recommend j Coats to anyone wanting to get their HGV qualifications!!

Just passed my class 1 with Lincoln college and j coates training. Kelly swift the instructor was amazing and very professional I'd give 10 stars if I could. She helped me and guided me every step of the way through her professional knowledge and first class instructing big thanks to Kelly and all the staff at j coates and Lincoln college

A great help in assisting me in getting my C1 license. Friendly instructors who make the process a whole lot less stressful and do a brilliant job in getting you ready for your test.

A big thank you specifically to both Kelly and Simon who assisted me throughout my training. Your guidance, support and professionalism was greatly appreciated.

Would recommend you both to anyone!

Great experience learning with Liam today. Did everything to benefit my learning throughout the day with B&E refresher training. Would highly recommend.

Great experience with J Coates. Lewis was brilliant. Wealth of experience, excellent teacher, really nice guy. Someone you dont mind sharing the cab with, very observant but doesnt make you feel like youre under the microscope. 5/5 Thanks!

A high recommendation to instructor Liam who was my instructor during my Cat C course and resulted in me passing first time with 0 minors. He was very patient and created a comfortable atmosphere during every lesson.

Simon wynn,Great driving instructor — patient, clear, and calm throughout every lesson. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and helped me build confidence behind the wheel. I always felt safe, supported, and well‑prepared for my test. Highly recommend.(category C)

I passed my c1+e first to time today with Kelly she had been amazing instructor and I would 100% recommend this company.

I spent the week on my Cat C training with Liam. He was brilliant, his teaching technique prepared me well for the test and trained for real life scenarios. He highlighted the key points well and helped build confidence. Resulting in 1 minor! Thanks Liam, Take care.

Just a massive thank you to my instructor Liam - he made me experience gaining my Cat C license seamless. His approach was excellent, ensuring I was comfortable throughout. His knowledge and experience played a huge part in my passing first time with no minors. Thank you again - highly recommend Liam!

Thank you so much to J Coates, and Alec Steer for organising the course! I had the best time with Kelly, the instructor, who not only helped develop my driving, but also made the experience so fun and memorable! I felt super prepared for the test, and would definitely recommend the company to others!

Just finished two days of online CPC with Chris. What could have been a really dull experience was actually really enjoyable. Chris is extremely good at what he does and I really enjoyed my two days with Chris and the other guys on the course. Top marks Chris 👍👍
