5DAY Leeds

Terrible experience Had my 5 day lesson with Mo and it wasn’t too bad at the start. After the 5 days, I kept him as my instructor and every time he would just end the lesson 30 minutes before. I asked him not to do that and he kept doing it. I was being charged £40/hr. I told him I wanted to book my test with 5day and he kept telling me not to because I’m not quite ready and “I will only wait 1 week for a test”. I definitely was test ready. I got fed up and ended lessons with him, and booked my test through 5day. I waited about 4 weeks and heard nothing, so I just booked my own test… waited 5 more weeks and passed first time with 2 minors. Overall I paid 5day 1 £1300 and received about 18 hours of lessons. And some theory practice which I didn’t need. I then paid my instructor £800 for only 15 hours of lessons. That’s £2100 for 33hours and they didn’t even bother to find me a test even through they agreed. The only thing I wanted back from 5 day is for them to refund my test, as they promised to find it but they didn’t. Yeah you guessed it they didn’t refund it. Useless company

I attended 5Day for my driving course last week and loved every moment. I want to say a massive thank you to my instructor Shaheen for my manual lessons, I was really nervous on my first day but from the off she put me at ease. Shaheen has taught me so much within the week and made me confident, she is an absolute credit to 5Day! My practical test is in a few weeks and I'm looking forward to it. If anyone is thinking of going for the course then I would definitely recommend it, you won't be disappointed.

My 5day intensive course at Leeds was excellent, I would 100% recommend this to anyone. I had booked on the 4th of March and managed to get a slot for week commencing 25th March! My instructor Shabana has helped me massively, I was a complete beginner on Monday (and very nervous) and by Friday I was confidently driving with little instruction. Throughout every lesson Shabana has made sure I have been comfortable even when she was pushing me. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who feels anxious or nervous about driving on the road. During the mornings I had 2 hour theory training with Aqib, he explained everything whilst going through the slides and giving examples to further my understanding. I have consistently been achieving above the pass rates for both the theory and hazard perception mock tests. I am now confident in going ahead with my theory test on Saturday. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on the intensive course and cannot state enough how happy I am to have done it!

First of all, I would like to recommend my instructor Shabana, who is the real reason I am giving a 5 star review. Looking across peoples experiences, I do feel that your experience with 5day is only as good as your instructor. I can not fault mine. Although test ready for some time, I finally passed my manual test on the third time (3.11.23). The first two tests just didn't go my way, and i dont feel any shame when the national pass rate is under 50%. I was ready for all three, but anxiety ruined my first, and now realise how much I have grown since then, when I look back happy knowing that I am a much safer driver, not just an able driver. The ability was always there after finishing my 5 days, but my perception and reaction to traffic have vastly improved since. The tests themselves are very different experiences in themselves, and each test was very different. Consistancy, patience, and persistance get you through and all qualities my instructor gave me. Shabana re-built my confidence after any knockbacks and molded me into a much more natural and instinctive driver with her expertise, leadership, guidance, and support. I think this is more important than just being able to pass. Shabana has been a fundamental reason for any success. She has at times gone above and beyond and always made time to get the pass. She never stopped believing in me. I have been happy to continue with her until I passed for the very reason she will stop at nothing to get the pass too, she cares about her students and gives everything she can to make sure you are ready to pass. She's genuine, honest, full of heart, and stands by you until the certificate is in your hand. If you're willing to give your best effort, she gives hers until successful, and in success, she screams with excitement and happiness as loud as her student. Im a little sad, knowing I will not be driving in Shabana's car with her now. What an experience, driving her around for no reason other than to keep getting better at driving her around 🤣 it's been a beautiful human experience. My very best driving was with her before my test, before the axiety kicked in again on the test, but by being even better, I got through it with success. For all the ups and downs, I look back and appreciate every moment knowing my driving has matured, safer, and more well-rounded. It's been a pleasant ride in her car, even when at times, it has been challenging. I have doubted myself at times but can honestly say I have never doubted her. If you're reading this Shabana, thank you for all the time and energy you have given me and for encouraging me and standing by me, pushing me forwards into today, we finally reached our destination. I cherish the memories of learning with you. 🙂🚘 .......................... 5 day have been okay, but as a company, I must say I dont interact with them much and never have. I had passed my theory previous to joining and am happy not to have needed the classroom (even though it's included and not deducted from cost, which is a little sad). Once I signed up, I really was only with my instructor intensley. I am very grateful for the 5day company for putting me with Shabana and for Shabana staying with me long after my 5 day course had finished, to ensure my success. On the test booking, I wish 5day office could give a quick call when booking a test as you dont have much chance to choose or confirm a date, after you have said which date you are free from. Although mostly free, there was a clash with other parts of my life, like my motorcycle test day ("A2B motorcycle training" are amazing and worked around 5days rigidness amazingly and dont charge to rebook, like the government don't, but 5day do). Maybe 5day could include an area on the form of dates you are unable to attend. I feel this part could be done better. Otherwise, i have not had a problem.

Definitely gets my vote. Very professional throughout starting from arrival on the first day. The structure of the course is very well designed to improve your ability with not only the practical driving side but also the theory. This applies to all abilities and experience. I am a middle aged learner who has (HAD) severe anxiety issues when it comes not only to driving, but even to getting in a car. My instructor for the week Aquib instantly put me at ease and allowed me the time to make mistakes and gradually build my confidence. Unbelievably with Aquib's fantastic guidance and reassurance I was driving on busy urban roads by the afternoon of day 1, this would have been unthinkable for me a week earlier. By the end of the week I was confidently driving a car independently on busy roads and able to perform all manoeuvres correctly when instructed. The day after I completed the 5 day training, I sat my theory test. I passed with above 95% scores in both the theory and hazard perception modules. I will be applying for a practical test very soon and will update this review. I would 100% recommend this course to any driver, at any point in their learner driving journey. This will not only give you the tools to become a successful and safe driver, but if you're like me it will also give you much more self confidence and self esteem that will benefit you in other aspects of your day to day life. A huge thank you to Aquib and everyone else at 5day Leeds.

Recently did an intensive course in Farsley in an Automatic. Shaheen was my instructor for the week. Passed my test a few days ago. I just wanted to leave Shaheen a message to thank her for all her help. Shaheen was an amazing instructor. She taught me alot and i wouldn't have passed without her help. She helped me alot with my general driving and taught me some great techniques. She was very patient with me and very easy to get along with. She gave me some great advice and feedback. I was very nervous at the start of the course but she helped me settle very quickly. I can't speak highly enough of her. Very grateful for all her help.

Would 100% recommend doing the 5 day intensive course not only do you get your theory included but the instructors are amazing! So kind, helpful and welcoming. My instructor was Mo and we had such a laugh while doing my lessons! I passed on my second test and the test waiting list was much quicker!
