Our comment from DrivingSchoolsTOP.co.uk about 5DAY Birmingham Intensive Driving Courses:

5DAY Birmingham Intensive Driving Courses offers a unique opportunity for individuals looking to obtain their driving license quickly and efficiently. Many students have praised the knowledgeable and friendly instructors, particularly highlighting Nadim and Mohammed for their supportive teaching styles that boost confidence and skill development.

The theory classes provide a solid foundation, with students appreciating the structured learning that aids in passing the theory test on the first attempt. Instructors ensure that every participant receives comprehensive training in practical driving, which is complemented by encouraging feedback and tailored teaching methods.

However, it's important to note some recurring concerns among users, primarily regarding delays in booking practical tests and communication issues with the company. Many clients reported that they had to wait significantly longer than anticipated for their test dates, which can disrupt plans and lead to additional expenses for supplementary lessons.

Overall, while the intensive course format can sometimes lead to feelings of being rushed and some administrative hiccups, the quality of instruction and the potential for quick learning have made 5DAY Birmingham a popular choice for new drivers aiming to secure their license in a condensed timeframe.

Negative experience: My son has been waiting over a year for his test . When he called 5 Day his position in the queue had not changed from the last time he phoned over 6 months before. He will soon have to take another written test . Absolutely joke

Jordan 1 year ago

Negative experience: I completed a 5days course in January 2023 and think there are some things people should be aware of... The theory training was done well, it's largely completed on iPad but the instructor was present and always willing to help. I passed first time so no complaints. The quality of the practical driving lessons was good I couldn't ask more from my instructor Nadim, great guy. There's ~20 hours of driving throughout the week, as contracted. I was already going into the week with ~10 hours lessons under my belt. By the end of the course I had completed a couple of test routes but had failed 2/3 of them. In all honesty, I wasn't really ready to pass my test after 5 days. I think most will need more lessons, which means more money. I did not get my test booked in until a YEAR after my course... (I was told before booking it would be a matter of weeks and 5days had links with the DVLA to speed up the process). I was assured by 5days that they were doing everything they could to expediate my test date. Although I only received one email as an update over the entire 12 months, shocking given the price point. Communication from them was generally poor. They said the delay was due to the COVID backlog the DVLA are facing... but 12 months... really?! Be aware, there is nothing in the 5days contract that covers you for this delay besides the 1 hour lesson before your test. Unsurprisingly I needed to fork out additional money on top of the £1400 I'd already spent to pay for lessons in order to improve my driving and relearn the things I'd forgotten over the 12 months... I ended up spending well over £2000. I passed first time in Feb 2024 a full 13 months after my course. Upon reflection, there is little benefit to a 5days course. You will end up spending more and it will take just as long to get passed anyway given the backlog. Better off just doing lessons normally and booking your test in advance. Again my instructor Nadim, was fantastic... wish him and his family well. 3/5 - Good teaching but poor transparency and communication from 5days on the testing climate.

Negative experience: One year one and time for update. Absolutely amazing news my partner has passed her test second time. With absolutely zero In put from 5 day after she failed first time round and was told she would not get any refresher lessons. So that is another scam to what's advertised. 5day great at taking your money and not so great at actually following through with what's promised. Terrible service, terrible after care, terrible customer service. I feel sorry for the people that have saved up and not seen or followed the reviews. Avoid. If I was able to give a zero I would. Absolutely 100% avoid. In the end I booked my own test after waiting 6 months from the end of the training 5 days. They swapped driver instructors around so didn't take test in same car learnt in. Driving instructor rude and very un friendly. After failing now been told no refresher lessons as advertised. So complete waste of money would have been better putting the money in my log burner to keep warm over winter. Be warned it's a total scam.

Negative experience: Absolute shambles!!! Had to pester them to get my theory booked… then done finally when came through. After this it took a month before they could look into booking practical lessons as admin had to do called put my theory test stuff through. After 4-5 attempts of booking practical lessons for a week I’ve been cancelled on 1st time the rest I’ve been booking on and then just not even told a instructor isn’t turning up which has made me book 4-5 weeks off work for no reason so that is a absolute joke. Do not use this company at all if possible I wish I could give 0 stars will be claiming my money back asap these people are an utter joke. Not once do they let you know how it’s going or of cancellation. Requested a callback 2 hours ago and was told I’d get a call in a hour… 2 hours later still waiting for this call…. Shambles of a company!!!!!!!

Negative experience: NO STAR DESERVED, I enrolled in the driving crash course in August with the understanding that I would be taking my test at the end of September. Unfortunately, it is now November, and the test has not taken place, which is contrary to the information provided during the sign-up process. This delay has caused considerable inconvenience and has disrupted my plans. I was counting on completing the course within the initially promised timeframe. Additionally, my attempts to seek clarification and updates through customer service have been less than satisfactory. As a foreign National , I have consistently encountered rudeness during phone conversations, which has been both surprising and disappointing. I urge the necessary steps to be taken to expedite the scheduling of my test, and I hope for an improvement in the customer service experience for all participants. Clear communication and respectful interactions are vital for ensuring a positive experience for everyone involved.

Fantastic experience: The course was good. However I did have to find my own test date due to the backlog. But, I will say that Nadim was the best instructor I’ve ever had! He taught me really well and I passed my test. He’s really calm, patient and overall a great instructor in my opinion.

kurt booth 2 years ago

Negative experience: A Complete waste of money in my opinion. I will start by saying that my instructor Nadim was excellent and can't fault him, i just think the whole structure is borderline scam the way it is. I took the course in March 2023 and was told at that time that they can no longer offer a test immediately like they used to be able to and it could take a couple of month due to the pandemic. fast forward to AUGUST and still nothing. After paying so much money to then have to pay for a driving instructor just to have a chance of passing is unreasonable. not to mention if you can find an instructor. After 5 months i am no longer test ready and ended up having to withdraw from the waiting list (Still hadn't recieved a test date) 5days solution was a free 1 hour refresher. As if that would solve the problem. I get there is a back up due to the pandemic but it shouldn't be as expensive as it is due to that. So now I am back at square one, 1300 down and nothing to show for it except a theory test pass. Hurray. Until the backlog ends, STAY CLEAR

Fantastic experience: Thank you 5Day and Nadim for your excellent tuition in helping my son pass, first time, today!

Josh Meakin 2 years ago

Positive experience: The week intensive I did at 5Day was interesting. They give you the theory classes in the morning, which are helpful but start to get a little repetitive. The driving is in the afternoon, you get 20 hours of driving during the week but as of right now it has been 7 months since I completed the week course. Passed my theory on Friday, and I am STILL waiting for my driving test. I understand covid has knocked the wait back a bit, but the wait was 6 months when I completed the week. It literally would have been quicker for me to book it myself when I finished. When you finish your week, CALL 5DAY STRAIGHT AWAY. I was told to wait and then call, but upon calling, they said no call when you finish. Because of this, I wasted 20 working days thinking that they were already sorting it for me like the adverts say they do. Nope. You have to tell them. If I had the choice of going with them now or choosing someone else or doing it myself. I definitely would not choose 5day to do an "intensive" course. Get the lessons in your own time - it will cost the same and book a test early on so at least then you know you have one. The uncertainty that this course has left me with is horrible. To reply to the snarky reply that this review has received: "complimentary tuition and assessments have been provided to this pupil" I have no idea what this means. I got given an assessment due to my previous instructor leaving 5Day, not because of any other reason. I have not received any "tuition", I'm not sure what is meant by this. This review is an honest review of what I think of the course as a whole and not a response to the assessment I had recently. I expected to be rusty after not being given a test date for 7 months, that's not the problem. Also, you should not, under any circumstances, reveal any personal information about my tests or progress unless I have stated so myself. Please refer to my email inbox if there are any further responses or queries.

Thank you for your review. To confirm, a pupil has to make a test application with us before we search for test dates - please refer to the literature provided at booking. Upon checking our system, complimentary tuition and assessments have been provided to this pupil in accordance with our agreement should a test date take longer than anticipated. Unfortunately, on the 24th April (yesterday), this pupil completed an assessment and was advised to gain further practice as there were a few issues that were apparent and to ensure they were "test ready" and believe this review was left as a consequence as to date, we have not received a complaint or feedback of this nature.

Joshua Driscoll 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Week commencing 17th April 2023 I attended the 5day course. I already had knowledge regarding the theory having *barely* passed 2 years prior but Mohammed managed to bring me up to a level where I passed with flying colours. Their methods of teaching the highway code and common sense is unmatched. I felt ready to pass my theory effectively within 2-3 days. And which I did with 47/50 and 64/75 respectively. Onto Rashid my practical instructor. Where do I begin? His friendly nature. He's calm and professional attitude kept me at ease. And allowed my skills to build at a very fast pace. He was firm but fair in regards to my proficiency on the road. I had barely driven a car before I met Rashid and now I feel like I've got months of experience in just 5 days! I have booked in for a test privately which ive managed to source for a quicker time (2 weeks) so I have no info on 5days abilities to fast track but all in all I can honestly say £1300 well spent and I thank all the 5day team for their can do attitude. Very very impressed

Negative experience: Can I give zero stars? instructors vehicles break down and you provide a young girl with no information or contact and you then only offer £423.00 pound refund. They travelled to do their theory course where they are meant to have a lesson on the same day and the instructor didnt show or inform them. No customer service at all, lack of communication. The instructor after you informed them then continued to try get said young girl to travel to them all abit seedy if you ask me.

Negative experience: Did some phone inquiries before make my decision to book their course. They “guaranteed” a practical test 75% faster than the DVSA. But when I asked how they can guarantee this or what will happen if they fail their “guarantee”, the answer I was given was “that never happened before, I am sorry if that will happen to you but then you need to keep waiting”. In that case, they should not “guarantee” as that’s something they cannot do. The whole phone inquiry I felt like I was spoken down to and my questions were inconvenient for them to answer.

Good morning Danielle. Thank you for your review. We are sorry you feel that your questions were inconvenient, we do however maintain that we have never been unsuccessful obtaining a practical driving test for a 5DAY pupil. Therefore, can guarantee a test.

Fantastic experience: If you know how to start a car and how it works, They will teach you the rest. Don’t expect to go there and to get handed a license cause your have to be hard working and dedicated. Basset ma driving instructor from 5Day Birmingham center was the best and most helpful guy ever. he knows how to proper teach you the ins and outs of driving and road safety, and would teach you everything you need to know for you to drive and to pass your test and get a driving license. He is the most helpful and upfront instructor I’ve met so far. Couldn’t say one bad thing about him, apart from that he is top man and am absolute legend. He’s so dedicated to his job and to making you ready for your test and to be road worthy. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Couldn't of passed my theory today without the help of Mo and I'd never be where I thought I would with my driving without my instructor. All in all great experience that has helped me further myself in such a short space of time.

Immy Kassim 5 years ago

Negative experience: Initially thought the course was okay, however now I am having to relearn methods from the beginning with a new instructor as apparently what I learnt was incorrect. Driving is much better with my new instructor, and 5DAY has just acted as an expensive setback. Would not recommend. EDIT: This response is inadequate to my experience. I started with very minimal knowledge of driving, so of course I rated highly. I am also usually very polite. Yes I achieved 4's and 5's HOWEVER more than half of the technique has had to be corrected by new driving instructors. I am posting this review now after several conversations with different instructors about the experience (more than 3 instructors).

5DAY Birmingham Intensive Driving Courses
5DAY Birmingham Intensive Driving Courses

Thank you for your review, however we are quite surprised to receive such a review. We note you completed the 5DAY course in November 2019 and at the time you did not raise any issues whilst you were on your course. In fact, throughout your course week, in your daily surveys, your scored the course and your instructor 5/5 every day. We'd like to add, it is very common for an independent instructor to suggest the comments you have raised regarding your driving ability to obtain more lessons from you. We note, at the end of your course week, you had covered all the topics required and reached levels 4 & 5. Following this, you applied for your first practical test therefore confirming you were indeed test ready and had reached test standard. Unfortunately, you did not pass your practical test due to a mistake you made on your test, not because the instructor did not teach you correctly.

blessing nhundu 5 years ago

Negative experience: Wouldn't recommend very unprofessional was heart broken when my sister was crying all night. She had worked so hard to raise money for her driving. After using it all on 5day she literally had to start again and they blamed her for not getting to driving standard. When they gave her an unexperienced instructor, only 20 hours of driving, apparently they said that's their standard of teaching.

caroline nhundu 5 years ago

Negative experience: Day light robbery full scam operation. How they are allowed to do this I will never know. I am £1k down and no where near driving standard. Please save your money to do not book. Firstly you only get 20 hours of practical driving for the 5 days. It does not matter what standard you are at. Yet they list on their website beginner friendly. The amount driving hours you get per week are not listed in the terms and conditions you are told to agree. Secondly I had a trainee instructor. I could not adjust the side mirrors apparently because they are universal. He urged me to operate gas and break with only toe which I found dangerous. There is no incentive for them to get you to driving test standard because you have paid them already and it shows. Logged a complaint with the team and they only blamed me for eveything. There was no phone call or anything to understand fully my point of view. All I got was an email saying get more private lessons and all our tutors have their own different styles. I wish someone had warned me before.

5DAY Birmingham Intensive Driving Courses
5DAY Birmingham Intensive Driving Courses

5DAY have investigated and responded to your initial complaint and are satisfied we have provided our services in full to you. To comment we are a “scam” is defamation and libellous. The 5DAY course has been running successfully for over 18 years with the same course structure which is discussed with our Sales Team at the point of booking. If, when you called, you asked the operator what the course hours were and how many hours of practical tuition there is, you would have been told the course daily hour breakdown and when the classroom session would be. We’d like to note, over the 18 years we have been running, we have had all abilities attend our courses, from beginner’s who have never stepped foot into a car to banned drivers, aged anywhere between 17 and 70, where over 46,000 pupils have passed their test with 5DAY - some of which who passed first time after the 5DAY course and did not have any previous experience. Each driving instructor does have their own method of teaching and your instructor has been with 5DAY for many years without issue. All instructors with 5DAY are approved driving instructors (ADIs) who are fully qualified, and tested and registered with the DVSA. They are not trainees as you claim. All UK driving instructors have an obligation to only send those at test standard to test. DVSA examiners frown upon any driving school if an individual instructor sends a pupil to test who is clearly below the required standard and can subsequently be reprimanded by the Test Centre should they do so and be subjected to teaching check test and ultimately can have their instructor badge removed. All instructors take their responsibility seriously and as such must advise truthfully if an individual is not achieving the required standard. Our instructor, to assist their pupils, has a smaller mirror in the corner of the main wing mirror to assist pupil’s with blindspots. It was concurred the instructor advised you to use the ball of your foot and not just your toes to use the pedals in the vehicle. If you did feel you were too far away to safely use the pedals, it would be expected to adjust your seating position in the vehicle. Again, if a qualified driving instructor believed a pupil was not seated correctly in the vehicle, they would adjust your position before they drive the vehicle. Although we regularly have beginners attending the course who are successful in obtaining test readiness at the end of their course week, there will be some individuals who fall short of the required standard set by the DVSA and subsequently, they would have to obtain further private practise either with a qualified instructor, or with friends or family to reach test standard. There is no guarantee implied in writing or otherwise from 5DAY that a pupil will get to the required standard to be able to pass a driving test as achieving this is entirely down to the pupils ability. We are satisfied we have provided our service in full to you Miss Nhundu as outlined in our written response to you. We have also advised once you have obtained further practise, you can come back to 5DAY for a free 1 hour assessment of your driving ability and if deemed safe you could then use the fast-track service with 5DAY to obtain a short notice driving test and we will provide the course vehicle complimentary for the first test including an half hour refresher lesson on the day of the test. We will continue to support and assist you in gaining your full licence however your comments of “Day light robbery full scam operation” are defamatory and libellous.

Charlie Crook 5 years ago

Negative experience: The whole course is essentially a scam for more money. I was offered "private lessons" after the course for a charge of £25.00 a lesson. I declined and went with my own instructor who put me in for my test straight away. They also only allow you one go at theory as they say it is "easier for you to book your own theory test as you know when you are free" but obviously you have to cover the fees. The theory revision they give you is a £6 app on an ipad where they tell you to "sort yourself out" for 2 hours which essentially means you pay £50 an hour per driving as they don't provide any other service. You also have to pay for your practical test on top of the initial £1000. My instructor also asked me about my feedback sheets and so I felt pressured into giving a higher score than I felt necessary.

5DAY Birmingham Intensive Driving Courses
5DAY Birmingham Intensive Driving Courses

Thank you for your review. The theory classes are not just "an app" it is a class with a trainer going through examples of theory questions and daily mock exams on both theory and hazard perception tests. You are offered free retraining in the event you fail either theory or practical tests but you do have to pay the DVSA for any retests. It clearly states on your booking invoice and on our website that you cannot be charged for the DVSA driving test until have passed the DVSA theory test which is why you are not charged at time of booking the course. The surveys are an opportunity for pupils to report daily any issues privately. We find you comment of "scam" offensive and libellous. We regularly have pupils that pass their theory test and go on to successfully pass their practical driving test. We are sorry you feel that you did not achieve your best ability on the course week.

Arik Uddin 5 years ago

Negative experience: They helped me pass my theory which I appreciate but they simply gave us ipads with an app. The practical lessons were awful, there was too much interference from the instructors and the correction lessons were terrible. In the correction lessons all they did was tell you your mistakes and said keep taking lessons. I finally did pass by I had to use an entirely different company. I would not recommend their intensive course

5DAY Birmingham Intensive Driving Courses
5DAY Birmingham Intensive Driving Courses

All centres including the centre this pupil attended has a trainer in class giving briefs , going through mock tests and question and answer sessions. Instructors are there to teach you and to make you aware if you are making errors. The correctional lessons are to specifically correct the serious fault that caused a person to fail their practical test they are not general practise lessons and all pupils would always be encourage where possible to continue practising between tests.

Fantastic experience: Would really recommend 5day for anyone looking to learn to drive as soon as possible, amazing how much you progress within such a short period of time!

Michael Green 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: My Instructor Nadim, was excellent. Patient and encouraging rather than overly critical of my mistakes. I would recommend having some lessons before doing this course, to learn how to control a car a bit first, so that you can make the most of your time on the course practicing manoeuvres and getting assessment ready. The days are very intense with 4 hours driving per day. But i think it's a better way to learn rather than the usual one hour per week, as you get the hang of things far quicker. In summary, its intense, but worth it if you can handle the high pressure environment for practical learning and theory learning.

miles simmonds 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Before coming to 5Days I had no experience of driving before the week, and now on Friday I am fully confident in driving as well as having passed my theory test with a weeks revision sessions with help from the staff at the course.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant

Tom Beckley 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: For anyone considering this course, DO IT! All the staff have been really helpful and the structure of the course is really effective. A nice balance between theory and practical allowed me to pass my theory first time with a high sore and get my test booked in for a few days later with the confidence that I will pass. And the amount of experience you get is more than I ever learnt through private driving instructors. So if your looking to get your license quickly, without a doubt use these guys!

Matt Read 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend 5DAY. Before my course I’d had about 5 lessons and hadn’t had any for over a year before starting my with them. Nadim and Yousaf really pushed me throughout the week and got me through my test with only 5 minors. If you’re like me and sceptical at going with a company for an intensive course, don’t be, 5 DAY proved me wrong. Thank you again!

Hannah Smith 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Hadn't ever started a car before this Monday, but have made so much progress. Passed my theory and and now I'm going for my test next Monday. Couldn't be happier!

Fantastic experience: Loved the 5day course! Helped me pass my theory within days. Instructors and tutors are lovely and help you worth everything that you need to pass.

Manraaj Nijjer 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great course - staff are amazing and I feel as though it's a wonderful environment in which you can learn or enhance your driving skills. Preparation for both theory and practical tests is really helpful and I feel so well-equipped having finished these 5 days and passing my theory test to now be able to go on and pass my practical part of my test promptly also. Big thanks to my instructor Tariq for such useful lesson, and also to Nadim for all the support and knowledge especially in preparation for bth theory and practical. Highly Recommend this course - wish I would have come across this sooner!

Alex Harding 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: i spent 10 years putting off learning to drive and making excuses. Within a week of the DAY course i passed with 3 minors- i'd thoroughly recommend

Izuchukwu Anigbo 7 years ago

Negative experience: This 5day lesson is not good for those who have already passed their theory test. I booked with 5day via online with a payment of £999 in total. When I booked for my driving lesson, I do think it was a free unlimited correction lessons through 5day website, but the manager explained to me there is nothing like free correction lessons apart for those who have took their driving test and failed. my driving instructor and her progressing ticking book said that I am not ready to do my driving test which I agreed. This is a five day driving lesson with 20 hours driving lessons in total, which is four hours per day. This was my biggest mistake I ever made because I have already passed my theory test and I only needed to pass my driving lessons and test but the service I bought wasn’t worth it and my expectations were not what I seen. I wished I have booked with a local driving instructor, If I did, I could still have some change in my pocket and I will be driving now. After I spent £999, no driving yet which is a big sum. I will not recommend this service for people who have already passed their theory test, but if you feel like you can pass with under 20 hours driving lessons, good luck for you.

Sara Shaheen 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience from Monday through to Friday. Lots of help given with theory and practical. Wouldn’t have been confident with the theory without the help given here. Driving begin to feels natural at the end of the week. Leaving with theory passed and practical booked for following week. Couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Positive experience: Great intensive course! Would definitely recommend!

Tyler Phillips-Walters 7 years ago

Positive experience: I enjoyed my week at 5 day. I passed my theory test first time. I will hopefully be taking my practical test within the next week or two thanks to help from the 5day Birmingham team.

Youtube Indi 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Safina was my driving instructor and at the beginning of the week I was a nervous, inexperienced driver, by Friday I am more confident and have booked my test for Thursday. Nadeem does the theory and is very knowledgeable and a great teacher and all of us passed our theory today. I would 100% recommend the Sutton Coldfield branch.

Keeran M 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: From being a beginner at the start of the week, this course has greatly increased my confidence in driving. The instructors are all very friendly and encouraging - I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to pass in a short amount of time. Passed my theory first time!!

Kyle Hancox 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: The theory and driving training on this course is brilliant. At first I was skeptical but after the full five day course I feel ready and prepared to sit my driving test having passed my theory with the help of the daily tutorial classes.

Natasha Plumley 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: The course has been amazing, I feel like I have advanced really well under excellent tuition. I came to the course as a beginner and after 5 days I am nearly test standard.

Anthony Gifford 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great way to learn to drive as a crash course. The manager Nadim is great and all the instructors are really friendly, especially Safina B. They are passionate about ensuring you get the best quality possible out of your lessons and are very efficient in doing so.

Alistair 7 years ago

Positive experience: The week has been great overall. My instructor has been ace and helped me at the right speed for me and center staff were very knowledgeable and personable. I do have two recommendations.Firstly, I think it would be better to provide students with a theory pack beforehand, asking them to study before the week begins - this would allow you to restructure the course a little so that students sit the theory test earlier. This would free up time, reduce stress so they can relax more quickly into the driving itself. I also think sandwiches/snacks and drinks at lunch MUST be provided! This would help students concentration, improve their progress and pass rate. Each student is paying a lot of money, and just a sandwich each would cost little but help significantly with improving course satisfaction and students performance.

Adam Taylor 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great service! Theory lessons are very informative and the centre manager, Nadim, is extremely helpful. He got a perfect score on the hazard perception test with his eyes closed! I had 0 hours driving experience before and I am now ready to book my test in just 5 days. My instructor, Habib, was very friendly, professional and a great teacher. I would recommend this service to all who want to undertake an intensive driving course.

Luke Reed 7 years ago

mateo bradford 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: 5Day Birmingham have done some great work, passed my theory test first time and I am now ready for my practical test at the end of 5 days with no previous practice with either... Keep up the good work!! Very happy customer :)

jade shepherd 7 years ago

Positive experience: I felt quite rushed through the course. I've booked my practical test but I do not feel totally confident after having the full 20 hours of driving that this course offers. At the end of the course I feel like, especially considering the price of this course, I should now be feeling more confident than I currently do. UPDATE - I passed

Dylan Enzo 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Good staff, professional instructor who helps you progress in your own which is also done quickly. came here with some experience but know i am confident and ready for my practical and passed my theory test with 47/50 and 64/75 on the hazards

hilary nyathi 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had an awesome experience. The theory class prepared me to pass at the first time and the driving instructors were very helpful and encouraging. The course is ideal to maximise your abilities!!!!

Sam Pagett 7 years ago

Positive experience: The theory training is really good and makes it really clear. My driving instructor was really good too. You get just 4 hours of driving a day for 5 days so the rest of your time is spent doing theory. This makes the theory part pretty expensive but I compared different companies and they all cost about the same.

MJL 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great course, would recommend to anyone who is looking to get their driving license. Great work by Safina and Nadim, really helped by throughout the week and I should have my full license before the end of next week. Regards Matt Lisle

Amy duRose 8 years ago

Positive experience: I've found this driving course to be really effective as a refresher course following a two year break from previous lessons. With regard to the theory test, learning with 5Day is definitely the most effective way to learn, fully understand and pass the test. All staff are very friendly, patient and give clear instruction. I have had an overall positive experience.

Lewis Dunshee 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: The absolute fastest way to get your licence I would strongly recommend this to anyone over 1 or 2 lessons a week, the staff are amazing as well as being constant over the course of the week there, my only downside was the lack of formal instruction on arrival. You just walk in and sit down

HARRY SUMNER 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very satisfied with the training I have received from 5day Birmingham. I feel very confident in driving passed my theory and have booked my test.

Keiran Wake-Smith 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was surprised just how effective the course turned out to be, having been rather unsure at first. My instructor, Mo, was great and definitely suited me in terms of how much he pressured me, and his method of tuition. I've now booked my test and am confident of passing it in 10 days time! Thanks, 5Day!
