5DAY Chelmsford Intensive Driving Courses - Chelmsford

Joe F.

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.

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

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..

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.

I have just passed my test first time after completing a 5 Day intensive course. I wouldn’t have achieved this without the help of my fantastic instructor Alfie, he was professional and gave me so much important advice. Glen who taught the theory side was also amazing and helped me to pass that first time also. I cannot recommend this course enough, thank you so much!!!

My partner had an absolutely abysmal experience with 5 Day. There are lots of T's &C's that aren't immediately obvious when signing up with them. First off, the instructor crashed his car during the course and they were unable to provide a back up instructor and therefore missed out on a days with off driving and had to make i up in her own time. She then failed and they only give you one extra hour as a refresher which you have to book straight away (otherwise they won't let you book the test again). Essentially if you fail youre test your given and extra hour and then left to your own devices. The customer service is terrible. The rules are rigid and stacked against the customer. I would wholly advise people to avoid this company.

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!!!

Absolutely awful!! I have called on day one for help as my daughter felt uncomfortable with the instructor and the hours were changed from 9-5 to 8-2 which is a big difference in time but they still charge a huge amount.
I then call on day 4 as my daughter is still uncomfortable as the instructor is rude and unhelpful just like the staff on the phone to me who wish to do nothing. I would not recommend this company to anyone. I can understand they have no control over how people act but when calling for help twice and getting the response I had from two women trying to explain how an17 year old girl feels and getting no help is a disgrace.
Do not book with this company!!!
