  Misleading radio advert and customer services staff. Closest to Cardiff is Bristol and no place until 2024. Test waiting list up to 6 weeks. No automatic test cars in Bristol after saying there would be. Theory test scheduled last day of course at 4pm after extensive hard day of learning. Had to make own way to theory test Centre. Instructor unprofessional in his approach and his terminology used and behaviour towards 17 year old disrespectful. Each day was 8am to 10am theory practice, 10am to 12noon driving and 1230 to 230 pm driving. No care or confirmation taken of personal needs and nervousness. Customer services not open in weekends. Had to pay £5 for driving app when already paid £1508.00 for course. I do not recommend. Not worth the price or hassle from staff and instructor!

  Did this course just under 2 years ago. Very expensive and not worth the money. They promised to give you a test a lot faster than the DVLA waiting list, however I waited over 7 months for my test and had to pay for extra lessons after the course had finished. Overall spent over 2 grand and still not passed. Save your money and go elsewhere 👍

  My booking reference number is MN-G1G7N surname- portelli before 5Day try to say they had no pupil under This name! Biggest rip off company!! Please don’t be fooled that this is the best way to go as it is not! Personally. I did 5 day over a year ago & it was the worst money I’ve ever spent, I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. The majority of it was working around theory and I felt sorry for a lot of the other students that had already passed their theory as they just had to sit there the whole time whilst others went through questions in the classroom they wasn’t entitled to get anymore hours and I personally think that for over £1000 20 hours of driving is disgusting then to have to pay for your own test with no help in getting it sorted. I felt like I needed more lessons and could never get a slot. I’m no closer to passing my test & it’s left me short on a lot of money as a single mother of 2 children!!!!! Over £1000 on what ?? To be left with minimal knowledge, I got more help and experience driving when driving alongside my sister in law. Me and my sister did this and we both regret it more than anything. Not to mention the driving instructor had no pride in her work, & made me feel anxious most of the time and talking about how she’d been in lots of crashes on round abouts, she avoided them all the time because of her own experience. This is so unprofessional & it was the same routes all the time never anything different which is ridiculous! How is anyone suppose to learn ? Avoid at all costs

  Course was just ok, very expensive for approx 10hrs driving , test was months later, can understand this now with the test situation(was told it would be fast tracked though) and a fail due to the lack of driving. Did have 2 booster lessons but our instructor was lazy , fat , smelly and was 2 hrs late and promised a 2 hr booster lesson that ended up 50mns. Wish we'd just waited for a "normal" instructor that we ended up gettin in the end. Failed on not looking over shoulder aft emergency stop, NEVER done one in the lessons. Edit:- My son has the same surname , he was the one doing sudoku on his phone whilst theory lessons as he was bored.

  Recently completed my 5Day course with Manchester and I am extremely happy with the service provided. I had previous driving experience from 4 years ago and was able to jump straight back into it with confidence thanks to Jim, he was amazing with pushing me to be the best I could and was ready to book my test by Wednesday! I had already completed my theory but still sat through the theory with Alan which was really helpful to refresh my knowledge and everything was explained really well. I’m currently just waiting for a date for my test. Highly recommend for previous drivers who need to focus and dedicate the time to get passed. 👍🏻

  Due to COVID my course was delayed, but 5day were brilliant with their communication. I had Jim as my instructor in Manchester and he was brilliant. Strict and stern which is exactly what i needed to get my pass first time. Lovely guy with great banter amd laughs, Alan who does the theory training got me a great pass with his lessons also. Brilliant course and well worth the price 👍

  Just finished my driving course, and although I am not fully ready for a practical test I have gone from not being able to drive to being confident on the road and with a few more weeks practice I will be ready for a test. Alan was a good theory teacher, and I felt confident taking my theory test and passed. My driving instructor was Lynne, she was amazing and I would defiantly recommend.
