5DAY South London

This is a complete scam. I have had to report the service to Action Fraud and I would strongly advise all the other reviewers who have been scammed out of money to do the same. After attending my course my course instructor and driving instructor both ‘left the company.’ Following this my emails were ignored for months on end. When they did eventually reply I was told an instructor would contact me. I never received any call from this person who I only found out had mysteriously ‘left the country’ after 6 months and having to ask. Another instructor allegedly called me whilst at work though this person never gave their name or where they were calling from when I answered and asked that they call back later as I was at work. They did not. How can a person take a test after doing all of these prepaid lessons if the instructor and car you learnt in are no longer available? They even had the audacity to try to scam me out of more money by asking me to pay more money for lessons with a new instructor due to the length of time that has elapsed despite this delay of now over one year being entirely their fault and not my own. Why should I fit the bill? Beyond this I have been told over the phone they cannot transfer me to any complaints department because they ‘do not have one.’ They ask people to review after the 5 day course and lessons in a very forceful manner prior to getting a pass. This company are extremely shady and I would highly recommend that anyone avoid using this service and take their money to a reputable local instructor.

I did manage to pass thanks to my amazing instructor Ceri. The guys are good and experienced at 5days. Without any previous experience I did pass theory and needed around 6 extra lessons with my instructor to pass the practical. Only thing to note that it is a hard course where you do drive around 4hrs a day. But if you want to get your licence done quick thanks to fast track it is a worthwhile investment.

Had a fantastic week with Nigel. He really helped to build my confidence and skills this week. Thank you so much to all the staff at 5 Day South London - they are truly a wonderful kind-hearted and comical group of people who genuinely want the pupils to do well. Both practical lessons and the teaching of the theory is tailored to each person's needs and honestly couldn't fault it. Passed my theory this week & already have my driving test booked for next week. So much more supportive and faster than booking alone! I've had such a fantastic experience with 5Day and will definitely be recommending it to all of my friends who are looking to learn to drive.

I took the 5Day course just over two years ago, at the ripe old age of 37 and can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. Finally being able to drive has changed my life in so many ways that I could have never predicted. The classroom instructor was great, he explained everything very clearly, and Gary was the nicest, most competent driving instructor anyone could have wished for. Thank you 5Day!

I enjoyed the school and the instructor was brilliant. The only let down was that Since the 5day course ended I was just left to float about. I basically paid 1000 for 20hours of driving. I am now having to search for other instructors. This has made the process difficult for me, waste of money especially if you already have you theory test. Better off paying 500 for 20hours of lessons. Poor company to customer relationship but the people that you learn with are nice so the 3 stars are for you.

Really amazing course. Very intense week but got me to be a very confident driver and ready for my test, passed my theory very comfortably, and had a really great time doing it. Instructors are really good and will adjust to how you want to learn and won’t stress you out. Very worth it!

I was nowhere near ready to learn to drive when I turned up to 5 day... as a nervous learner with no experience in a car and anxiety issues I wasn't 100% sure I would be able to even get behind the wheel! After the second day I was a lot more comfortable, this place really catered to my needs and understood my anxiety and how to best deal with me... I've just finished the course and passed the theory test yesterday only getting 1 question wrong!!! An amazing achievement for me as usually I crumble under a test atmosphere. After a week of driving I've driven to all sorts of places comfortably and confidently - even in this extreme weather! Whilst I would like a little more practice before sitting the main test, I feel I have gained a great load of confidence at 5 day and feel like driving is a real possibility for me now. Big Thanks to Gary, Martin and Nigel! 5 Stars for 5 Day! :) Thank you for all your help!
