Our comment from DrivingSchoolsTOP.co.uk about 5DAY Eastcote West London Intensive Driving Courses:
5DAY Eastcote in West London offers an intensive driving course that is designed to prepare you for both your practical and theory driving tests efficiently. Users have praised the high-quality instruction and the extensive support provided by instructors, particularly highlighting the effectiveness of coaching from Mark, Anna, and Habib, who help instill confidence and driving skills in students.
Many students reported feeling well-prepared after just five days, leading to successful test passes, with some achieving their theory test on the first attempt. The course structure combines thorough theory lessons with practical driving sessions to ensure a comprehensive learning experience.
However, some reviewers have raised concerns about the cost and scheduling issues. A few users experienced delays in getting practical test dates and noted the higher price tag associated with the course, suggesting that students may benefit from prior driving experience or additional practice to ensure readiness for the practical test.
Despite the mixed reviews, many recommend 5DAY Eastcote for its dedicated instructors and the potential to fast-track your journey to becoming a licensed driver, making it a top choice for those eager to learn to drive quickly and effectively.
5DAY Eastcote West London Intensive Driving Courses: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Good practical and theory preparation helped with being test ready for both, and they were efficiently booked through the course. Great guidance and support throughout. They helped me move my practical test to a more convenient time and really helped me leading up to it, I managed to pass it first time and feel like it was worth it.
Fantastic experience: I was really nervous and had zero confidence coming in to driving but both Anna and Mark really game me a HUGE boost of confidence they’re understanding and don’t make you feel intimidated if you make any mistakes 100% would recommend
Negative experience: Bad experience with 5Day - did the classic 5 day course which is not cheap by any means, £1500 - of which 20 hours is of driving practice. Let's say a driving instructor charges £30 an hour that leaves £900 for 5Day to teach a very little bit of theory + fees. Very steep. After that, and yes it was post-Covid and so everything up in the air, 5Day did not find a test for months and months - I think it was 8 months by the time I took one. Not saying 5Day are responsible for the terrible organisation of the DVSA, but i think the entire advertising premise of the company is they get you a test faster than you could alone, but that seems like rubbish. The only plus was the instructor - incredibly kind, patient and knowledgeable man who made learning to drive a pleasure. But, all in all, a very expensive course, which doesn't deliver on promises. You're better off finding a good instructor, getting those hours under your belt, and then finding your own test.
Negative experience: Worst experience from start to end, I took the course 15 months ago, i still didn’t take the exam. I wasted £1200 for nothing
Negative experience: Very poor Been year no test No contact They take your money Don't bother with you Very expensive theroy course Teach yourself instead save money Go elsewhere
Negative experience: My son turns up for course in Eastcote today, having taken a week off of work, told he’s not on the list. Payments have been made via info given by @5day.co.uk, proof emailed, paper trail of emails, customer service only interested money, no apology! They are now saying it’s a Worldpay issue - bank has shown that payment has been sent and received. Customer services not interested in resolving situation. Buck passing! And now turned off commenting on the Facebook page and deleting comments about his issue. Charlatans?? My son is now £1000+ down, he’s lost a days pay and company has no interest in helping. Completely unacceptable!
Negative experience: I was very disappointed with this course and unfortunately felt that my money was wasted doing my lessons with 5 day. I found that its extremely over priced and the practical side of the course is massively rushed. Some people may even need more that 20hrs to get to the DVLA driving standard, which you’ll have to pay extra for if you don’t achieve that by the end of the week. If you’re booking this course during COVID times be careful as they CANNOT guarantee you a quick test date! It was 3 months after I’d finished my course with 5 day before they’d managed to find me a test date which in that time my driving skills had become a little rusty, but I was told before I left the course by Mark him self that “you don’t forget to learn how to drive” which is true.... but that doesn’t mean you’ll still be at a standard which will allow you to pass. One bit of advice. If you’re looking to pass you test don’t rush it! Take two weeks to do a 20/30 hour course with a private instructor. You’ll honestly save yourself £300/400 and get more hours in the car. The way how 5 days gets you your test date quicker is they find cancelled driving tests online. There are companies online in which you can pay £30/40 to find a cancelled driving test and then give that date to you, which will be cheaper than 5 days. If you’re still looking to do your lessons with 5 days make sure you ask for Mick as he’s probably the best instructor there! But honestly save your money and go to a local instructor. Hope this review helps.
Thank you for your review. I can see that all throughout your week you scored your instructor very highly on your daily customer surveys and also gave a high score on our end of week survey. Clearly we can’t guarantee the standard that anyone would achieve after a week of lessons however I’m pleased to see that you felt ready to apply for a test less than two weeks after the course, so It does appear that your main gripe is with the length of time it took to get you a driving test. You came on the course the first week immediately after a 4 month national lockdown. The DVSA system, which is completely out of our control wasn’t working as efficiently anyone would want at that time as they had a lot of other candidates tests to re book. This (national lockdown) is obviously the first time this has ever happened so I can understand that the DVSA were struggling to cope and to find a way to help everyone get their tests re booked as well as dealing with new applications like yours. On the matter of your personal test, Mark says that he contacted you well before your test day, with the intention of offering you some top up refresher lessons and an assessment. It seems that you declined his offer, instead you came in for an assessment just two day before you test. When you said that you didn’t like the car after the first assessment, you were then offered and given another session with another instructor in a different car. We are sorry that you feel this way but hopefully you learned a lot during your time with us, as you were very happy at the end of the course. The issues with the waiting list are and were out of our control and shouldn’t be a reason for you to want to dissuade others from enjoying our course in the way you did.
Fantastic experience: If it wasn't for the persistence of Mark and Mike from Eastcotes 5Days, i would still be using a mixture of public transport and my old motorbike. Since passing with 5Days, my life has opened up!!! My mum lives very far away and even further if you're not driving a car so from the bottom of my heart, i couldn't appreciate you guy's anymore. From Clear and easily digested advice like Mike's famous " blocker " technique for round abouts which i use everyday...to Marks unwavered dedication to making SURE you got the point of the question/road signs/laws is unparalleled by any other company offering similar experiences. I would recommend specifically Eastcote 5Days to ANYONE and i wouldn't even wish new customers luck, you won't need luck with these guy's.
We appreciate your review and will pass your kind comments onto the Eastcote centre
Negative experience: Waste of money. No guaranteed pass. If you are not ready to take the test after the 20hr of driving lessons then you will have to pay for further lessons yourself. My whole class had to go onto pay for further private lessons. I am having to pay another £150 for lessons to be properly ready for my practical test. They failed to book the theory test within 2 weeks of the start of the course and it looks like I am going to have to wait another month to get my practical test. Overall, they do not give you enough hours driving. You will not be driving within 2 weeks of starting the course. It is a complete waste of your money. Instead of wasting your money on this course, I recommend booking 30hrs driving over the course of two weeks (cost around £700), practising for your theory by downloading a theory app (£5 for the one they use on the course). In total you will have saved around £400 and you will have received 10hours more driving.
Thank you for your review. There unfortunately is no such thing as a "guaranteed pass" as unfortunately the pupil is the person taking the tests. If you level of ability is not at test standard at the end of the course week you would be encouraged to either obtain private practise or you can obtain paid for lessons from any instructor not just a 5Day instructor. We note that you did in fact attend a free driving assessment after your course which ascertained your driving ability had improved but it was recommended you may benefit from one or two practise lessons before applying for you test to provide you with the best chance of passing.
Positive experience: I have no complaints for the theory side of this course - I passed with flying colours with no prior experience, and the teaching was delivered to a high standard with the right amount of self practice. However, I was very disappointed with the practical element. Looking back, I should've had some previous experience before starting the course, but 5Day does advertise that it works from beginners-. My driving instructor (Kevin) was extremely inpatient and rude. He was a decent person as a whole, very friendly in casual conversation. However, as an instructor, I would not recommend him. I know it's not just me that felt this way, as when I researched him he had very bad reviews from other learners (not on the 5day course). I don't really understand why such an expensive, high quality course would employ subpar driving instructors. The instructor fuelled my fear of driving, rather than helping me to overcome it. My feedback could be different if I were given a different instructor - the structure of the course worked and, as previously mentioned, I passed the theory. To anyone considering this course, I'd recommend having some past experience, and give my good luck to you if you get given Kevin, especially if you're a beginner. Also, I feel the corrective lessons need some further explanation. They are not until you feel ready for your next test after failing one, but only for what you failed your test for. So, if you had a major that you'd never do again, you would only get one lesson - even if the instructor believes you need many more hours driving before your next test. If I were rating the instructor, it would be as low as possible. But rating the company, I do believe there are many positive aspects.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant experience, especially considering I didn't have much driving experience, it help me understand more about safety and awareness while on the roads not just as a driver but as a predestrain and has also made me feel very confident in myself as a driver and never did I think I would have come this far in such a short period of time. Thanks to the team at 5days Eastcote I cant have asked for a better experience.
Well done Reece - all your hard work paid off. We will pass your kind words onto the Eastcote team
Fantastic experience: Great experience with 5 day bristol branch, got on very well with Paul my instructor, lovely bloke. Would highly reccomend 5 day to anyone considering it.
Thank you Morgan for your great review - we will pass you comments onto the Bristol team
Fantastic experience: Anna my practical instructor was absolutely amazing. There is a lot to fit in within 5 days but with the way the days are set out you learn so much not just the driving but with the theory lessons with Mark as well. With the help of them both I have passed both my theory and practical tests 1st time. Thank you Anna, Mark and 5day.
We appreciate you taking time to make a review Lily - Thank you
Fantastic experience: Mihazur was a very good instructor. The theory training by Mark was great aswell. Would recommend this course to anyone trying to pass their test quickly!
Thank you Victor for your review
Fantastic experience: It was an amazing experience, tough and very challenging but definitely worth the money and the time! 100% recommend it! Very nice staff as well :)
well done Lucia - you obviously worked very hard on your course week
Fantastic experience: Great service all around. If you trust them and follow the process the 5 days will transform your driving skils
Thank you for your kind words .
Fantastic experience: The 5day course has been perfect in getting me ready to drive safe on the road and to be able to drive to the best of my ability, Anna was my instructor and she was amazing at giving you the confidence and reassurance you needed when feeling nervous about driving on the road.
Fantastic experience: I defiantly recommend this course. The theory is taught very well, very clear and to the point with nice examples to help you remember certain things. The instructor I had, Habib, was great at explaining things, very patient and good at helping you find a way (that works for you) to improve on your mistakes. Thank you 5day!
We appreciate you taking time to give a honest review
Fantastic experience: Amazin week and couldn't be happier with Mark Evans who was teaching our class and helped me pass my theory first time! It's an intense course but helped me gain confidence, knowledge and the skills I need to pass my driving test.
Fantastic experience: I learned a lot with 5Day Eastcote, and although I'm not ready to take my practical after my 20 hours, I passed my theory with only 1 question wrong and have been well supported since I arrived on Monday. I look forward to further lessons with 5Day and to my assessment with them before my test when I'm ready.
Fantastic experience: Perfect for anyone who wants to pass their theory and practical test quickly and safely
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience with all of the staff at 5DAY West London! I went from never having driven a car on the Monday, passed my theory on Thursday, and booked my practical exam on Friday — couldn’t recommend it any more.
Fantastic experience: Really happy with the 5 day course. I recommend anyone who wants to pass quickly to use this service. Mark and Mick really helpful with the theory and Habib is a very good teacher for the practical.
Fantastic experience: Would recommend the course to others. The theory teaching is excellent, was 100% pass rate with my cohort. The instruction for the practical is very through, your progress is checked every day. The instructors are very positive and patient. Although I am not ready to take my test, I have achieved so much this week that I would highly recommend complete novices to (like me) to use this service.
Fantastic experience: Great course ! Very intensive and helpful!! Fantastic instructors !! I would recommend 5 Day to everyone ! 5 stars is definitely not enough to review this course !
Fantastic experience: Brilliant week, really helpful and knowledgeable staff who work really hard to help all week. the course overall is very intense and hard work but really worth it if you put the effort in, the theory lessons are very well structured around both learning and practice for the test and especially the hazard perception. the on the road instruction is of a very high level and took me from never having driven on the road to ready for my test in 5 days, and passing the theory by Thursday. i cant recommend more, Mark and Mick were great!
Fantastic experience: Although I didn't pass 5day definitely prepared me and helped me with my driving is definitely recommend taking the 5day driving course
Fantastic experience: My instructor was really helpful and allowed me to gain confidence out on the road. I’ve improved immensely in the space of a week. Lovely staff, nice fairly new cars and good resources for the theory test. I never would’ve gotten to this standard this quickly without 5Day.
Fantastic experience: I had a brilliant week learning with 5day! My driving instructor Mansha was brilliant, very thorough and helped me right my wrongs. Also, the theory aspect with Mark was fantastic with classroom based and interactive learning with plenty of help available which helped me pass my theory! All of the members of staff are highly skilled, super friendly and constantly willing to help. I would highly recommend 5day to anyone who is currently considering to take up driving. Thank you thank you thank you!
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend this course. Mark (centre manager) and his team are all skilled and knowledgable professionals and help fast track the theory in the classroom and also build up practical skills at an accelerated rate.
Fantastic experience: This course helped me progress massively. Really friendly people, would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I would recommend this course wholehearted. Its without doubt the best way to pass both theory and practical. I feel i have been given all the information and skills to be a confident and competent driver. So glad i participated. GIVE IT A GO!
Fantastic experience: 5day West London; highly recommended!.. excellent instructors who are knowledgeable and fully embrace the intensive nature of the course. If you would like to pass quickly with minimum fuss, look no further.
Fantastic experience: Wow who knew you could learn to drive in just 5 days. super helpful staff who give clear instruction on the highway code and your practical driving. Andy and mark At the Eastcote branch are super friendly and go that extra mile to help you succeed. I would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Marks great teaching allowed me to pass my theory test with flying colours. Habib has helped me tremendously with my driving. Although I need a few more hours on the road either privately or with Habib to get me test ready I'm very happy with my progress considering I was a complete beginner on Monday :).
Fantastic experience: Had a great time training this week. Mark in the main classroom was very informative and so helpful with any questions and explained things in the right amount of detail. My driving instructor was Roger who put me at ease right away and helped me progress with my driving fairly quickly. He helped build up my confidence from the start and got me to a good enough standard to book in for my test!
Fantastic experience: Mark and Habib are amazing tutors and instructors, excellent knowledge and the ability to put you at ease well worth the money , a true credit to 5 day!!!! Highly recommended!!!!
Fantastic experience: A wonderful team of professional instructors who are very friendly and who guide you through the 5day course step by step. They will show and teach you EVERYTHING that you need to pass your Theory, Hazard Awareness and practical Driving Test. I enjoyed every part of the course and I HIGHLY recommend 5 DAY Eastcote to anyone who is keen to learn how to drive.
Fantastic experience: Great course Leader, driving instructor and friendly atmosphere. Thank you Mark and Andy!!
Fantastic experience: Very helpful course, thoroughly enjoyed it, very friendly staff, would definitely recommend this course, worth the money.
Fantastic experience: Finished the week last Friday and just passed my practical today. So quick and Michael Wyatt, my driving instructor, was absolutely brilliant. Knew when to push and when to encourage. It is an intensive course and very hard work, but also very rewarding. Thanks again 5day!
Fantastic experience: It was an incredibly informative and useful course. A massive 'Thank You!' to Mark and my instructor David with their help I passed my theory test and gained so much confidence on the roads.
Fantastic experience: Just finished my 5 day course here, passed my theory on Thursday with flying colours. Really really pleased with everything and how it's gone. I'm about 75‰ away from being able to confidently pass my test but others have opted to book today - it's all about how your feeling and the people on the course make sure you know that throughout. Super informative and super friendly instructors and course leader!
Positive experience: A fantastic course but I would highly recommend some prior driving experience before starting the course. 5 days go by way too fast, especially with a lovely driving instructor like Pervez. I had a great time and learned so much. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I do not write reviews often but I have just finished my week long course, and I could not recommend it more. From a very unprepared situation, Mark gave very clear guidance and teaching for you to easily pass your theory. I had Roger as an instructor during the week and he was incredible at tailoring the time we had to put me in the best position possible for me to take on my test next week. Look no further for guidance if you are looking for a intensive driving course.
Fantastic experience: At the start of the week I had 0 driving experience, I have now had 20hrs experience on the road! I feel a lot more confident than I did at the beginning not to mention the fact that I've just past my theory test (they book for you) first time round thanks to the theory lessons/ homework they offer here at 5 day. Now all I need is a few more lessons to get me ready for the practical test that I will book when I'm ready. Great course! Would defo recommend. Lastly shout out to Mark he's been a great teacher !!
Fantastic experience: The course leader and instructor were extremely helpful and friendly. Everyone I met here was extremely supportive and helpful. After never stepping foot in a car prior to this week I have passed my theory and looking to book my practical as soon as next week! Seriously recommend these guys!
Fantastic experience: The course was absolute amazing helped me learn to drive in 5 days and pass my theory all thanks to mark (Evans) the manager of the branch
Fantastic experience: Excellent course, gone from novice to very close to taking my test.Passed my theory first time with all the help from the clasroom work.
Fantastic experience: i Had a really enjoyable week on my 5Day course Mark is a great teacher when it comes to learning the theory. His Classroom training was very helpful and i passed first time. My driving instructor Andy was very supportive and enabled me to learn to drive quickly, safely. i would highly recommend this course
Fantastic experience: I can not recommend 5day enough. Past theory and driving test first time. Andy my instructor was fantastic and built my confidence from nothing to a pass. Mark and Roger were brilliant in helping me pass my theory. 5day is definitely the way forward to anyone who wants to learn to drive.
Fantastic experience: Had a great time at this well organised course, passed my theory on the 5th day and my practical on my first attempt. Both something I never thought I would. A massive thanks to Mark and Roger, who both are amazing teachers, and was there every step of the way believing in me!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved my time with the 5day team. Mark Evans (My lecturer) was an amazing teacher and a very stand up guy. He teaches you the theory in top notch manner where its fun and informative. Minarzhul Rahman (driving instructor) or Parvez as we know him, can not be rivaled with his practical learning. He teaches you every step and as a 1st time driver myself, he made me feel confident and ready to hit the roads...WILL DIFFENATLY RECOMMEND!!
Fantastic experience: Really friendly instructors both in the classroom and while driving on the road. Supportive and tailored tuition. They don’t call it “intensive” for nothing so be prepared. You’ll make mistakes in the week but it all does come together in the end. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: Very well organized, and worth every penny. Passed theory on the fifth day of the course, and am able to fast track my practical exam through 5DAY. Very satisfied with the course overall, would recommend to anyone looking to pass their licence in a short period of time.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend for anyone like me who hid for years under the excuse "never have the time because working too hard": this is the solution! Friendly teacher & instructors and passed straight away theory and practical on my second attempt just 3 weeks after completing the course (the fast track practical is awesome). Thanks again 5Day!
Fantastic experience: I just done a 5 day course I just pass my theroy test the teaches were brill yet to do my driving but I'm confident. I give the teacher more then 5 starts if there was more available. Thankyou 5 day.
Fantastic experience: Learnt more than enough in 5 days to pass my theory test, with a lot of useful resources and a knowledgeable teacher (Mark Evans) to help.
Fantastic experience: Learned quicker than I thought!
Fantastic experience: Best way to learn to learn how to drive. The course is very well organised and balanced between theory and practical driving. A highly recommended instructor is Roger Hill. Throughout the 5 days he comfortably pushed me so that I learning a lot about the control of the car in different situations having a fun experience learning how to drive.
Fantastic experience: highly recommend, easy way to learn or touch up on previous driving skills with a lot of driving in a short space of time. classroom work is very straight forward and easy to understand to get that theory exam passed.
Fantastic experience: They were a really good company. very helpful with both the practical and theory side of things. Course leader Mark was very professional and very friendly and understanding. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will be ready to do my test. Thank you for all your help and kindness. Good luck to future attendees.
Fantastic experience: I would thoroughly recommend 5 Day in West London to anybody. Both the practical and the theoretical instruction were high class an enabled me to learn to drive quickly, safely and cost-effectively. The week is intense and demanding but very rewarding if you are willing to put the effort in.
Fantastic experience: I didn't know what to expect when coming to 5DAY, but I have been very pleasantly surprised by how quickly I learnt to drive over the week. Well thought out theory seminars, and engaging practical lessons really bring out the best of your driving. I would highly recommend 5DAY!
Fantastic experience: I learnt a huge amount on this course. The driving instructor was brilliant, it was so clear that he had had lots of experience and was very knowledgeable. His short briefs throughout the lesson and use of diagrams were very useful in aiding my understanding. The theory training and practice using the software was great preparation for the test. Mark was very encouraging and the other pupils were sound so it made for a pleasant environment.
Fantastic experience: overall the whole course was excellent everyone is really friendly and helpful . i have learnt loads this week passed theory with ease ,i extremely recommend
Fantastic experience: Had a really enjoyable week, My driving instructor was very supportive and got me to test standard by the end of the week. Classroom training for theory test was very helpful and enabled me to go the theory test with confidence of passing. All the team have been helpful and supportive.
Fantastic experience: very happy with the way i have been treated this week by everyone lots of help and could not ask for a better teacher
