I’ve passed my test and my driving instructor Joe was brilliant, he helped me grasp a better understanding of the road during our intensive course and gave me great tips on areas where I wasn’t as confident on ie spiral roundabouts and which lane to be in

James from Peterborough
Absolutely loved the course it helped me improve my driving skills but also my confidence on the road.
Couldn’t have done it without James from Peterborough, he was very patient with my many mistakes but also very critical in the right moments to Makesure I learned in the most effective way possible. Very encouraging and helped massively.

I had an excellent experience with my driving instructor David . He was incredibly patient and always found the right way to communicate with me, adapting his teaching style so I could fully understand everything.
He never spared any effort — whether it meant drawing diagrams, showing videos, or giving real-life explanations, he consistently went above and beyond to make sure I improved and felt confident behind the wheel day by day .
Thanks to his dedication and support, I now feel fully prepared and confident for my practical test. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and committed instructor.
Big thank you David !

I paid for an intense driving course
I paid for an intense driving course, babe. I had my theory test. They were meant to refund me but didn’t and I’m refusing to give me a theory testand I’ve waited nearly a year for a driving test even though I told him that my theory ran out in February.

We’re unable to investigate or verify this without a full name or booking reference.
For clarity, it is the pupil’s responsibility to ensure their theory test is valid and in date. We are also unable to arrange or supply a theory test where the DVSA test fee has not been paid.
If this relates to a genuine booking with us, please contact our customer support team with your details so we can review the matter properly.

Intensive course that really works! 🙌🏽
I recently completed an intensive 5-day crash course in Trafford and passed my theory test on the fifth day, then managed to secure my practical test within a month.. and passed that too!
I honestly couldn’t have done it without Alan. His patience, kindness, and encouragement made such a difference and kept me going throughout the whole process. I was really anxious after not having a lesson for 12 years, but within minutes he made me feel completely at ease.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone considering learning to drive, and I’ll definitely be recommending to all my friends!

We’re so pleased to hear that your experience in Trafford was such a positive one, especially after such a long break from driving.
It’s great to know that Alan’s patience, kindness and encouragement helped you feel at ease so quickly and supported you throughout the whole process.
Passing your theory at the end of the course and then your practical shortly after is a brilliant achievement and we’re really pleased we could be part of that journey.
Thank you for your recommendation - it truly means a lot.
Wishing you many safe and happy miles ahead!

5 day Manchester
I completed an intensive automatic driving course with Alan in Manchester, and just five weeks later I passed my test. Alan was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout. He even helped me secure a test date, which made a big difference.
He was always calm, clear in his instructions, and genuinely focused on helping me improve with every lesson. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and gave constructive feedback without ever making the experience feel stressful.
The online theory support was also excellent. With Phil’s help, I passed my theory test first time, which really boosted my confidence going into the practical.
Overall, a fantastic experience

I started my 5 day course last Monday with Shaheen in Leeds. One word - WOW! My expectations couldn't have been met further if she tried. Shaheen was fantastic from the first second - staying calm, directing, teaching and taking me out of my comfort zones to develop my own belief in myself. She took the time to get to know me, and know me, so she could use the best style possible to teach me. The best driving instructor I ever could of wished for!
I started the 5 day course last Monday - today, 9 days later on Wednesday - I PASSED my driving test first time and with only 5 minors!
Thank you Shaheen - I'm forever grateful!

Thank you so much!
My instructor was James from peterborough and he was an amazing instructor to have despite having little to no experience driving.
His calmness and understanding of situations around my driving helped a lot and always pushed when he knew i could do certain parts of the driving.
I’d honestly recommend him and the company if you’re from peterborough as what is offered in a whole weeks time is so compact but also you learn so much so quickly and will help for
the future.
Will definitely be booking more lessons as i’m not there just yet but would like to thanks james so much.

5Day course, 5 star Instructor
Just completed a 5Day course with James in Peterborough. Outstanding instructor and even better person. Firstly he made me feel really comfortable and at ease which really helped in a stressful environment and his way of teaching was excellent. Very patient, very calm, very helpful and always on time. Would highly recommend the course and James as an instructor. Considering he is an Arsenal fan he is great and a credit to 5 day as a company.
The course and grading structure was brilliant. Glenn did a fantastic job on the theory. Great company to use.
