Chris was up to his usual standard. A lot of interaction from the group. Again a fest flowing course.
Just wondering if Chris had worked for jackanory in a past life, had a story about everything. lol.

Good course content and very well delivered in a way that was both engaging and enjoyable

Covers a lot of information related to driving and working hours regulations, both in the UK and internationally. The videos and real life examples make this easy to digest rather than just being bombarded with facts and figures.
Chris, the trainer, engages well with all training delegates and makes sure that there's plenty of opportunity to ask questions about the material itself, and how it relates to your role.

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.

My experience with J Coates was such a great experience. My trainer Liam was very friendly, kind and patient. His advice was solid, clear and was always so helpful, always stayed calm with me and deserves recognition for the great job he done with me, helped settled my nerves and in the end? He got me all passed first time. Great company, will recommend to anyone.
