Just finished a weeks CPC course with Chris. He was very friendly and knowledgeable, made sure it was done in a way that meant we stayed focused and engaged and also understood what was being discussed. Would highly recommend J Coates for CPC !!!

I would like to thank j Coates and Chris the instructor for an enjoyable 35 hrs cpc course and given me a lot of knowledge for the start of my new career as a driver cheers Chris outstanding

Massive thank you to J Coates, especially to Kelly my instructor helping me pass my Cat C and also my Reversing. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

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 👍👍

The trainer explained the processes really well and gave excellent support and guidance in the practice session leading up to the final assessment.
I'm looking forward to the next block of training with the company albeit at a different training venue.

I recentley passed my c+e , kelly was my instructor and she put me at easy really quickley, her way of explaining things and lovelly all round nature made it a very pleasant experience, thank you kelly

Massive thank you to Liam for helping me pass my practical driving test as well as my CPC. He played a major part in passing by explaining key things I need to be doing and what I should be looking out for

I had my CPC Mod 4 training & test at St Albans, the instructors were really great & were happy to repeat and explain anything I wasn’t sure about. Also very supportive. Massive thanks to Lewis, Tristan & Chris

Liam and Simon.

Excellent experience today with Trainer Liam and Examiner Simon who helped me pass my CPC Mod 4.
Would recommend.

Liam & simon was incredibly helpful with my cpc mod 4 - trained and completed in a couple hours…

couldn’t have asked for a better service, put my mind at ease especially with how anxious i was prior to the test.

Just passed my MOD 4 CPC with liam and simon. What a cracking experience. I turned up hesitant and wasnt very confident with it but straight away liam put me at ease. Was patient and kind, answering every question simply but with the detail we needed, being careful not to overload you with information thats not relevant at this stage. Simon then turned up and again was a lovely bloke who was clear and precise with what he was asking and just overall a nice guy! Brilliant experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone to come here for training!

good service
kelly is a really good instructor
definitely recommend

Great experience with j Coates instructor Lewis was exceptional really helpful and was able to make me pass my hgv class 2

Brilliant Class 1 HGV training with J Coates. Professional instructor, Kelly, clear guidance, and great support throughout. I passed first time and felt confident going into the test. Highly recommended.

Right, hold your socks, this could be a long one.

Sooo.... from the begining, when first getting in contact with Alec at Jcoates asking for advice about the class 2 course, i knew they were the go to. Came back rather quickly via email with MULTIPLE different breakdowns of how i could proceed with the class 2 course, INCLUDING personalised quotes for myself who had already completed the first few steps like(medical,licence etc)

Once selecting the best one for myself i contacted the office to proceed to pay, which Alec who then informed me that i can either pay IN FULL, Course by Course or even 0% FINANCE. So not only THE CHEAPEST but also many different ways of paying. FANTASTIC.

Moving onto the dates. Very helpfull with picking dates for training and tests and trying to get them to suit me as good as possible so that it minimises my time off current work. Again brilliant. So i managed to get my whole course completed within 1 working week (Mon-Fri)

So i started, the monday morning with my cpc mod 4 and then moving onto the reverse training and test in the afternoon, IDEAL!!.
THIS is were i met a chap called Liam Daisley!!!!

Now, i really dont know were to start regarding Liam, because from the get go at 7am monday morning, he was an absolute diamond of a man to train with. Soft approach, understandable, very thoughtful and all around nice guy. He talked you through VERY thoroughly, everything you needed to know, and without hesitation was always there to answer any questions you had. Not only did he make you feel relaxed but he made the whole of monday an enjoyable learning day. To top it off, again with nothing but knowledge and help throughout the day off Liam, i passed both the reverse manouvre and cpc mod 4.

I then had 3 days of driver training and to my absolute JOY i was allocated with Liam.

Tuesday, we was off to a good start. Listening to every piece of knowledge Liam had to offer, we got through the day with ease, whilst having a genuine chat, but most importantly, SAFELLY!!

Wednesday, again was absolutelly fantastic, and what sets Liam apart from the rest is the realtionship and trust he builds with you, and he genuinelly cares and beleives in you to achieve the one thing i beleived was impossible. Finishing off wednesday, Liam re assured me and filled me with confidence as he was very impressed with the driving i did that day, but none the less thats all thanks to him!!

Thursday felt like routine at this point with how at ease he makes you feel about driving the truck. So we just went over everything from the previous days, to tighten up the driving.

Friday was test day. I was CRA***NG it. Got in the truck an hour before test like a shaking mess. Soon after setting out on my final lesson i soon calmed down. Again, due to how at ease and normal Liam brings things across to you . It all makes total sense in the way he delivers that information.

Anyway, got to the test. Liam filled with confidence, tells me i can do, its just another drive. And thats what its was thanks to him!! So i flyed through the show me tell, Tell me questions and off we set!! 1hour 24minutes later and done. Pulled in and opened the door so me and Liam can here the result..... PASS!!! 1ST TIME!!! And thats 20% my doing but no doubt 80% Liams!!! Without him, his support and his beleif this week. I really beleive i wouldnt of done it. So i promised him i would right a good old lengthy review just to let future students know... HE IS THE MAN... and thats what ive done....

A massive thankyou to Alec in the office, but MORE IMPORTANTLY a enormous thankyou to Liam. You are without a doubt 1 in a million and i thank you for everything you have done for me this week. You will not be forgotten!! **Straight but Late** Will always be the most valuable bit of knowledge you gave me. So thankyou.

PLEASE GIVE THESE A TRY IF YOUR LOOKING TO GET YOUR HGV LICENCE. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!! **30/01/2026**

Well it has been a great week, I had Simon as my instructor for the reverse training and on the road driving. He was incredibly supportive all week, and always gave great guidance with all aspects of driving. I could feel my confidence growing each day and he gave me confidence in my ability to pass. Thank you to all of the team at J Coates for the parts they all played in making this career change a positive start!

“Simon and Chris helped me enormously throughout the course, giving clear explanations, practical tips, and guidance that really boosted my confidence. They were both friendly and funny, which made the two days enjoyable as well as very productive. Every aspect of the minibus test was covered thoroughly, with plenty of time to ask questions and practise. Their encouragement and professionalism made me feel well prepared, and I passed first time. A truly worthwhile experience—big thanks to both Simon and Chris!”

5 star for a 5 star team great training from Kelly and passed with flying colours could not be happier

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ CPC Course Review – J Coates (HGV Services) Ltd

I’ve just completed a 5‑day CPC course with J Coates (HGV Services) Ltd, and I’m genuinely impressed with the quality of the training. All aspects of the course were clearly and confidently presented, and the required participation made even the more mundane topics easier to digest and stay focused on.

The delivery of the facts and knowledge was professional throughout, but also engaging. The trainers kept the atmosphere relaxed with good banter and real‑world examples, which made the whole experience feel far less like a school classroom and much more like a practical, relevant learning environment.

I would thoroughly recommend J Coates (HGV Services) Ltd to anyone needing a CPC top‑up or completing the full 35‑hour requirement. A well‑run course with trainers who clearly know their stuff
