I recently completed an intensive driving course with 5 Day. My instructor was excellent, and the lessons were straightforward, but the overall experience with the company was disappointing.

The lack of communication and concern for my success was very apparent, and it often felt like I was just a number in their system. While the sales team was friendly and helpful before booking, the support during the actual course and the test was severely lacking.

A key issue arose with my theory test. My lesson ended at 2:30 PM, while my theory test was scheduled for 3 PM. The test center was over 40 minutes away, and when I raised this with the office, they were unhelpful and basically told me to handle it myself. This forced me to cut my lesson short by an hour.

Additionally, the postcode provided for the test center was incorrect, leaving me lost and causing me to arrive late, which put me at a disadvantage for my test.

In summary, while the lessons and instructor were good, the overall experience with 5 Day was frustrating and stressful. I would not recommend the course if you need reliable support and guidance.

I started the driving course in July and had no previous driving experience. My instructor Mark was so calm and patient with me and helped to develop my driving skills. I was then able to pass my driving test first time as a confident driver!

Excellent Course Experience with a Great Instructor

I completed a course in five days with my driving instructor, who was very friendly and supportive, and I passed on my first attempt. I highly recommend this instructor for their approachable nature and sense of humor. However, I was disappointed with the office staff, as I had to repeatedly follow up about my test and was often given inaccurate information about my position in the queue.

IMPORTANT: Read This Before Booking a Course!

IMPORTANT: Read This Before Booking a Course! I enrolled in a 5-day course for August 2024 and after a 15-month wait, I was finally assigned a test date for MAY 2026. I understand the waiting times can be lengthy (around 11 months), but the company completely misled me. They claimed to have a “dedicated team” that would secure an earlier test within 10 weeks when I signed up — which was clearly a ploy to take my money.
How can they expect anyone to complete a 5-day course and then retain that knowledge for 21 months before the test? It’s absurd. They show no concern for their customers, only for collecting payments. My course reference number is - SD-Y19P7, in case you try to dismiss this review as fake! In response to the company: I left a review for my sister, who is a student and has been incredibly frustrated with the inadequate service provided. Throughout our interactions, we have remained respectful and appropriate. We have records of every phone call and copies of all communication. Nothing we've stated is inaccurate or exaggerated. We feel deceived by the company, just like many others. If you're thinking about booking a course with them, look elsewhere; they will mislead you and deceive you once they have your money. When you contact their sales team, they repeat the same misleading, scripted nonsense: “If we secure a test within 10 weeks, we consider that a good outcome.” Meanwhile, you are left waiting closer to 84 weeks. They use this tactic to draw you in, sell you a course, and then disregard you. We’ll see you in court. I advise checking the AUTHENTIC reviews on Google for the location you’re considering before making a booking.

Beware Before Booking a Course!

BE CAUTIOUS BEFORE BOOKING A COURSE! I signed up for a 5-day course in August 2024, but after waiting 15 months, my test date was set for MAY 2026. Although I understand the long wait times, the company misled me by claiming they had a dedicated team to secure an earlier test within 10 weeks. It's unrealistic to expect someone to retain knowledge for 21 months before a test. They seem more focused on getting paid than on customer satisfaction. I urge anyone considering their services to look elsewhere, as you may end up feeling deceived.

Extremely Friendly Instructor

I completed a course in 5 days with an instructor who was incredibly friendly and always ready for a good laugh. I passed on my first attempt, which I highly attribute to his support. However, I was disappointed with the office staff who often provided misleading information about the test queue and required follow-ups.

Considering Booking? Here's My Take

I recently passed my driving test after a 5-day course. This service has its benefits, especially for new drivers looking to accelerate their learning. The instructors are skilled, and daily practice significantly improves driving abilities. However, for more experienced learners, the cost might not justify the value compared to traditional lessons. While I hoped for a quicker test, I eventually found my own date after some waiting. If you're new and eager to pass quickly, I recommend it, but consider using cancellation apps for better test scheduling.

Incredible Support from Wendy and Phil

Throughout my intensive course, my instructor made me feel at ease and went above and beyond to ensure I understood everything. The online theory sessions were equally thorough, preparing me well for my exam. I couldn't have asked for better support.

Fantastic Experience in Norwich

I just completed a 5-day intensive course with an outstanding instructor. His clear instructions and patience helped me regain my confidence after not driving for two years. I feel much more capable behind the wheel now!
