5DAY Chelmsford Intensive Driving Courses

Negative experience: I feel like they still owe me my £1000+ back for false advertisement. Read the fine print if you're a clueless first time driver like I was back in the day, it's definitely not a guaranteed pass, you have to have like 30 individual hours on the road before you can take these courses

Negative experience: Intenstive courses are currently not fit for purpose, do not book through this company. The promises made on thier website about getting you a test faster are false. They have stated "We as a company have no say of how many tests get released or how often they get released". As such you cannot be fast tracked towards passing a test which is the whole point of booking intensive courses. They have an awful lack of understanding and utter contempt for the people that have paid good money to them expecting better. My course reference number is CH-WX6N1 before they reply saying that its the wrong company or they have no record of it. I have also attached an email i sent them to which they stopped replying to. They offer to refund the test fee and take you off thier list so they don't have to bother looking anymore so they dont have to deal with you again. Absolutely appaling.

Negative experience: My eldest step daughter did her course in 2021. She finally passed after getting through her driving tests quickly after her fails. My other step daughter did her course in May 2024. Having failed her test in June, she is still waiting for her 2nd driving test in December. They have failed to find her another test for nearly 6 months. Phoning them up is met with distain, and not leaving you pleases with the outcome.. For over £1200.00, I'd say this is not a good enough service, and had we known it would be such a poor service this time around, we would of just done it the old fashioned way.. Course reference number is... CH-P9RGW Miss R Garnham... Anything else you would like to confirm this booking..? PS.. it was £1400 , not £1200..

Fantastic experience: It was a little different from when my other son used 5days Chelmsford 7 years ago. But we can blame Covid for the lack of tests. It was a stressful wait for the test which ended up over 12 weeks and in that time I did pay for a few lessons with a local instructor as I was worried he’d loose confidence. He took the test today and passed first time so we are all overjoyed, not sure if I had another child to learn I would use this system as I think the wait was to long and I would rather get the theory done, then book a practical and do bulk lessons with a local instructor but that's just my opinion right now, I will say he enjoyed learning with 5 day and really liked John.

Negative experience: 5Day Intensive Driving DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. Took £1280 off of my brother which was money left to him from my beautiful late nanny. Took £1280 and then told him he cannot participate in the driving course because his glasses were not the correct ones and he would need to order some more, he proceeds to do so and then they tell him he only has 2 days otherwise they are not offering a refund and he is not allowed to participate on the course. You’ve taken £1280 from an 18 year old and not even offered a new course date or a credit note until his glasses arrive. My poor brother now has no way of paying for driving lessons until he earns the money back from working overtime at his job. I’m disgusted. Also please do not comment back with your generic reply “we have not had a pupil under this name, the pupil themselves haven’t moaned” That’s because you’re dealing with young 17/18 year olds who have no confidence complaining in this situations leaving it down to their family members fight for what’s right! Stop taking advantage of young people for money, it’s disgusting!!!
