Frequently Asked Questions about learning to drive
What is an intensive driving course?
An intensive driving course is a fast-track programme designed to help learners reach test standard in a short period of time, usually within one or two weeks. Instead of spreading lessons over months, you complete focused daily training with an instructor to build skills quickly and confidently.
How does an intensive driving course work?
Intensive driving courses combine structured daily driving lessons with theory test preparation. At 5Day, you complete five days of in-car tuition, online theory training and full support through your DVSA tests.
How long is an intensive driving course?
Most intensive courses last one or two weeks. The 5Day Intensive Driving Course helps learners progress to test readiness within just five days of training, with further support available including free correctional lessons if you fail your first practical test. (T&C’s apply)
Do you offer an automatic intensive driving course?
Yes. Automatic intensive driving courses are available at many 5Day centres across the UK. This is ideal for learners who want a simpler driving experience or prefer automatic vehicles.
Are intensive driving courses better than weekly lessons?
Intensive courses are often more effective for learners who want to progress quickly without forgetting skills between lessons. They can also help many people save money compared to taking lessons spread over several months.
Will I have my practical driving test at the end of the 5Day course?
No, the course does not include an automatic test at the end. A practical test is only to be arranged by the learner once a DVSA-approved 5Day instructor confirms you are ready. This is a legal and safety requirement for use of a 5Day vehicle for the test.
If you believe you are ready, you are of course free to book and take a test in your own vehicle without instructor approval.
Due to ongoing DVSA delays, test availability can sometimes take months. Our dedicated team offer help and guidance to learners but learners must book and manage their own tests.
