Free Lesson Conditions

5DAY provides professional driver training designed to prepare pupils for the DVSA theory and practical driving tests. While many pupils pass first time, test outcomes can be affected by examination conditions, nerves, or isolated driving faults.

To support pupils following an unsuccessful test attempt, 5DAY offers a Test Support and Retraining Programme, in accordance with DVSA guidance and the terms set out below.

Theory Test Support

Where a pupil does not achieve a pass in the DVSA theory test:

• The pupil may attend theory training sessions unlimited with the online trainer.

• Sessions are provided to help address knowledge gaps and improve test readiness.

• Training continues until a theory test pass is achieved.

Theory Test Booking & Fees

• DVSA theory test fee: £23.

• Theory tests must be booked and paid for directly by the pupil with the DVSA.

• 5DAY does not control theory test availability or booking outcomes.

Practical Driving Test Support

Where a pupil does not pass their first DVSA practical driving test after completing the 5DAY course:

Eligibility

• The pupil must apply for the mentoring via our link and email onto us the DL25 test report.

• The request for retraining must be made within 7 days of the test date.

Scope of Retraining

• Retraining consists of 1-hour remedial driving lessons at a time. 

• Free Retraining is for 1st practical test only. 

• Lessons focus only on the serious/ dangerous faults identified on the DL25.

• Training is provided until the instructor confirms the identified faults have been corrected and the pupil is test-ready.

Instructor assessments are made in line with DVSA standards and are final.

Practical Test Booking & Fees

• DVSA practical driving test fee: £62.

• Practical tests must be booked and paid for directly by the pupil with the DVSA.

Use of a 5DAY Vehicle for second test 

• Car hire for test: £180.

• Vehicle hire is optional and subject to availability.

Fair Use & Conduct

This programme is provided to support genuine test readiness and improvement.

• Lessons are provided for fault correction, not unlimited ongoing tuition.

• Pupils are expected to attend booked sessions, follow instructor guidance, and behave respectfully.

• 5DAY reserves the right to suspend or withdraw retraining where sessions are missed, guidance is repeatedly ignored, or behaviour is unreasonable or abusive.

• Vehicle changes during training do not constitute course failure and do not entitle pupils to additional free lessons. Familiarisation lessons may be recommended but remain optional and are chargeable to the instructor directly and not 5Day.

Important Notes

• Test pass decisions are made solely by DVSA examiners.

• 5DAY does not influence or guarantee test outcomes.

• This policy does not include test fees or third-party charges.
