So easy to book I’m not the best with technology my driving instructor Darren was amazing tough at times but only trying to help me overall I think he’s excellent at what he dose I’m a very pleased with how he taught me to pass my test

I was assigned an instructor incredibly quickly and efficiently. The instructor - Kevin Preston, based in the York/ Leeds area- was very thorough and taught in a way that was comprehensive and explained things very well. Overall, a great experience and I would highly recommend!

I paid over a thousand - a course with test.
I was unable to accept a test location so they are no longer helping me and giving me no further test.
The instructor is asking for more money and was abusive and this company dismissed me.
They make are nothing short of a scam

I completed 1 week driving course with instructor named Kevin. He is very knowledgeable within the driving industry and I have learnt a lot throughout my week driving with him, couldn’t have asked for a better instructor for my intense driving course.

I recently completed the one-week driving course and couldn’t be happier with the experience. As someone who was already a confident driver but needed to fine-tune my skills for the test, this course was exactly what I needed.

My instructor, Alan, struck the perfect balance—respecting my existing confidence while providing clear, constructive guidance to sharpen my technique. We worked really well together, which I think came down to mutual effort: I was committed and adaptable, and my instructor knew how to make the most of that in a short time frame.

This course is ideal for anyone who’s serious about getting their test done quickly and is willing to put in the work. If you come prepared to focus and improve, the structure and support are there to help you succeed.

i had a amazing experience with kevin, and passed first time. he was clear and informative with his teaching and gave me many skills. i would totally recommend this for someone who wants to learn quickly.

I want to warn as many people as possible not to book with this company. My son booked a 24hr intensive driving course with them last week and unfortunately failed the final practical test. The communication from booking is non-existent as they just palm you off to an instructor to arrange the actual delivery of the course.

My complaint about this company goes two fold on both the instructor that they provided who is ultimately an extension of this company and should be fully under their responsibility and also the handling of our complaint after calling the office.

So as we had booked a 24 hour course this was to be delivered over 4 days including the test etc meaning 6 hours of driving per day as per the website with 2 x half an hour breaks on top of the driving time. Firstly by the end of the week the hours delivered were short of the time purchased by a total of 3.5 hours. The instructor who was not local to us travelling an hour to get to us each day had no idea of the area, had no idea of the potential test routes, was having to use his mobile phone to navigate google maps during the time and also at one point decided he would pop into Wickes to pick up something he needed.

A word of advise if you decide to book with this terrible middle man company make sure you get the paper work completed even if the instructor says it is not necessary, make sure the arrival and drop off times are correct to ensure you are getting the hours you paid for, unfortunately for us the instructor told us that the forms were not required and as he is the representative of the company you would take that as the truth.

Now onto the aftercare, we made a phone call into the office on Monday following the completion of the course on Saturday. Remember you can barely get these people on the phone as they are only open 10am-4pm right in the middle of when everyone is working. The phone call explained all of the above and asked if this was right and we were told to email in immediately with our concerns so that they could be dealt with. Initially this seems a positive sign so we proceeded to book the 6 hour retest package.

However the response to the email was truly disgusting, replying from an email sent the evening before at 3:50pm, 10 minutes before they close so that you are unable to talk to someone is firstly poor customer services but the response to the email that they requested we sent was to just turn all of the blame on to us not having picked this up after the first day of the course with the office. They stated that without the forms completed (which we were told by the companies representative were not needed) they could do nothing about the missed hours and all other points raised were pointless as they were ignored.

We also asked that a different instructor be provided for the re-test to which we were told this was not possible, we wanted a different instructor as if they spoke to him about the above points it would only cause a negative environment for the re-test. seems the 1000+ instructors they have is a load of rubbish as the instructor had to travel an hour and no others are available for a 6 hour re-test.

We have now ended up cancelling the re-test as it seems they went straight on to tell the instructor about our complaint and now we are back to square one.

I would like to add that the email form them was responded to within an hour or so of receiving ready for them to pick up this morning therefore not having to contact the instructor but by 11:30 am this morning they cancelled the re-test as I image they have had the conversation either way.

Avoid at all costs and I only wish I had looked at the terrible level of reviews on here before booking, last time I take a single recommendation.

Just to add to the end the instructors name was Alan from the Leighton Buzzard area so if you end up with him make sure you set out the weeks course plan at the start for every day and also get the forms completed.

The company did all the hard work for me and got me my tests quickly. My instructor Alan Melton was the reason I passed cool, calm and reassuring. In 9 days I went from unconfident, scared and bad at driving to passing the practical first time and Alan was just as happy. Highly recommend.

Awful company. Zero communication until you start calling them. Emails sent with no response. False advertisements on dates. Have cost my son money and alot of time. Do not use.

Stay away!
4 month gap between’intensive’ course and practical test.
Very poor communication , zero customer service/ care.
A very expensive mistake using this company .

Massively recommend. It was all really seamless from booking online, to having my theory booked, getting an instructor, and getting my test booked in.

Ian, my instructor, was top tier. Really flexible with his time and was great at adapting the training to suit me.

Felt super confident throughout and I'd highly recommend this route to others if they're considering it.

I feel compelled to warn others after a frustrating and disappointing experience with OneWeekDrivingCourse.co.uk. I paid for what was advertised as a “one-week intensive driving course with a guaranteed driving test”, expecting a streamlined, supportive process. Unfortunately, the experience was confusing, poorly managed, and misleading.

Here’s what happened:

Test Centre Mismanagement: They booked my driving test at Worcester, nearly 30 miles away, despite Hereford and Ludlow being significantly closer. My instructor immediately told them he couldn’t cover Worcester – something that should have been checked before assigning us. It wasn’t. When we rejected the test, they voided the guarantee on a technicality.

Guarantee Voided Despite Clear Communication: They later found a more suitable test at Hereford, but it was outside the “10-day window” of their guarantee – so we were penalised for not accepting an impractical booking they made in the first place.

Disrupted Course Structure: Because of this reshuffling, my “one-week” course was split over several weeks, forcing me to take extra time off work and completely breaking the flow of learning. This was not the intensive course promised.

Missing Lesson Hours: I paid for 24 hours of driving, but only received 21 hours, including just 30 minutes before a 7:50 AM test. They apparently include travel time in those hours – but this was never clearly stated.

No Meaningful Support: Once the course started, communication was minimal. Their phone lines are open just 10am–4pm on weekdays – not helpful when things go wrong. There was no proactive support when problems with test centre logistics came up.

Misleading “Free Retest” Offer: After failing the test, I looked into their advertised “free retest.” In reality, there is no free retest. What they mean is that they’ll deduct £62 from the cost of a retest course – which costs £375. That’s £313 out of pocket for just six hours of lessons, where they again just connect you with a local instructor, not an actual course. There’s no dedicated structure or follow-up, and this offer is not explained transparently when you sign up.

Overpriced for What You Get: It's clear that much of what you're paying for is simply the use of a browser plugin to search for test cancellations – something learners can easily do themselves for free or via low-cost services. Everything else – lessons, logistics, support – is delegated to local instructors without clear coordination.

My Advice:
Find a local instructor you trust directly

Use a free or low-cost test cancellation checker

Save yourself hundreds of pounds, stress, and poor communication

I am in the process of submitting formal complaints to:

Trading Standards – for misleading business practices

Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) – for misrepresentation of the course format, the “guarantee”, and the so-called “free retest”

This service does not deliver on its promises. It's a highly polished website masking a disconnected and overpriced coordination service. Please do your research and book locally instead.

We wanted to book a course for our Daughter. I called and spoke to Leanne Sutcliffe prior to booking. The crucial points for us that the test would need to be close to the training course ( a few days or so) and that it wouldn't be one of several local test centres.
Learne assured me that the test would be within 10 days and one of the test centres discussed would be fine.
It all turned out to be completely untrue.
When I emailed to complain they initially refused to only communicate with my daughter. Which wasn't a problem when I enquired before paying them. They are refusing a refund for a test 50 miles away in Central London, nearly a month later.

My experience of Oneweekdrivingcourse was that it was extremely helpful in terms of getting to grips with driving very quickly. The ease of booking the course made this option very appealing to me as it didn't require myself to fit many lessons around my busy schedule. I was assigned my instructor (Nitesh Bhamm) quite early on, before my course began and was speaking to him prior to the course starting.

My instructor, Nitesh Bhamm, really prepared me for what I previously thought had been quite a stressful process. Within the first day of my course, I had down the basics and was driving on the main road with having no prior road experience under my belt outside of driving in an empty car park.

Nitesh gave amazing tips on how to become a better driver on the road and provided me with perfect reference points when it came to the manoeuvres of the practical test. I believe his teaching style really pushed me to become the best driver I could and pass my practical test with ease. I do not believe that I would've picked up driving as easily and passed first time as I did without the help from Nitesh. I highly recommend Nitesh Bhamm if you would like to pursue an intensive course as he is an brilliant instructor.

Although, the practical test did not come straight after my lessons, roughly a month afterwards (21/02/2025) due the delayed process of driving courses within the UK, I was thoroughly prepared by the intensive course and instructor to pass my practical test with 3 minors. This test was also done in an area I had not practiced in at all and I had no previous knowledge of any of the roads or junctions.

I would recommend this course to other people if you are capable of learning within a short amount of time through vigourous lessons. My course entailed 36 Hours - 6 days of driving, approximately 5 hours driving each day. It is very intensive and does take its toll, however if you can push through it, it is very rewarding and will allow you to pass first time like I did.

A recommendation to other people is that I would leave a larger gap between when you book your intensive course and the date of it starting. This allows the company to have a higher chance to book a practical test for you right after you finish your course. For reference, I booked my test at the end of November and didn't get my test for January after my course but got one (at the earliest opportunity 17th Feb). I opt to have a larger gap to ensure you can get that practical test closer to the end of your course lessons finishing.

But nonetheless, I still ended up passing first time which is an attestation to the driving course and my instructor, Nitesh Bhamm.

Thank you Nitesh for helping me pass and oneweekdrivingcourse for arranging my practical test.

I am a qualified driving instructor and like most good ones am fully booked. This outfit don’t seem to have instructors and I get regular emails from them offering me pupils. The latest offered me £40 per hour so with the fee these guys take a very expensive way to learn.
My adivice would be to contact local instructors to you and discuss your needs directly.
No need for a middleman who try’s to take on instructors they have never met.

Formal Complaint Regarding Driving Instructor

Dear [Booking Team/Customer Service Team],
Driving instructor Christine walls

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint about the behavior of a driving instructor assigned to me through your company. I paid £1,250 upfront for the course and have been left deeply upset and distressed by my experience.

Last Wednesday, I contacted your office as I had not been contacted regarding my lessons. I spoke with a lady who questioned whether I had driven before. Upon confirming that I had, she informed me that she wouldn’t allow me to use her car for the test. She also mentioned that my father could take me, despite knowing he works full-time and lives in Reading, which is not a feasible solution. I found her remarks unprofessional, particularly given the substantial amount of money I had paid. She also made it clear from the outset that she was unwilling to work Saturdays.

On January 9th, she arrived 15 minutes late for my lesson, and today, January 10th, she was late again by the same amount of time. When I tried to call your company, your office had not yet opened. During today's lesson, a man of a different ethnicity pulled out in front of us, which prompted the instructor to launch into an extremely offensive and racist tirade. She made derogatory comments, including that "foreigners come over here, take our jobs and money, don’t follow the rules, and are entitled," and went on to state that "these people blow up places" and that they should leave the country.

I was shocked and appalled by her behavior and told her that her remarks were racist. Instead of addressing my concerns, she became hostile. She repeatedly interrupted my learning process by making me start and stop the car unnecessarily, preventing me from progressing with what I needed to learn. When I raised my concerns and reminded her of the amount of money I had paid, she belittled me, mocked me, and stated that she would report me as a beginner driver, which is untrue. She repeatedly swore and belittled me which is disgusting from anyone.

Her refusal to deliver the service I paid for and her attitude—arriving late, swearing, being dismissive, and making racist remarks—are completely unacceptable. This experience has left me distraught and disheartened, especially as I am training to become an emt at university and rely on this course to progress with my driving. I have had lessons with other instructors and my father previously and have never encountered such behavior.

Given the circumstances, I request either a full refund or to be reassigned to another driving instructor who can deliver the professional service I was promised. I also feel obligated to report this incident to the DVSA.
The company have since got back to me saying the refund is down to the driving instructor and because they delivered on a test I cannot do the test with out the 24 hour lessons and a car and shouldn’t have to be sworn at and hearing racist remarks constantly. No apology or refund has been given

They are extremely scammy and useless. I booked and then they where trying to say I owed them a larger amount of money to the money advertised, due to an apparent problem with the website (doesn’t sound like my problem sounds like false advertising). They also kept getting dates wrong in the confirmations.
Booking was made on the 9th of December but they turn round on the 20th 11 days later to say they can’t do it after confirming they will tell me more information closer the time previously. They then proceed to take multiple days to reply to my request for updated information or refund. Overall useless service and very scammy please avoid the red flags are all over the reviews.

Update: There reply makes them sound routine but don’t advertise what you can’t give, and don’t make me wait weeks to not give what I’ve purchased, don’t waste your time with these unprofessional people go elsewhere!!

Easy booking arrangements and rescheduling. Instructor and test booked and arranged quickly.
The instructor was pleasantly patient and reassuring. 1st time pass
I would recommend this course from my experience
Thank you adam for your encouragement

If anyone wants details on how I have just had my decision upheld by the courts on a point of law entitling me to a full refund from this cowboy outfit and their arrogant owner, please feel free to email me. All you need is to have booked within the last twelve months and I can give you the documents you need

And I can assure you all I am genuine, because he knows which court he was in on 16/12/24 that told him his terms and conditions weren't worth the paper they were written on and, as I had told him, don't trump the law.

Legislation below if anyone else needs it...

If a seller doesn't provide the required cancellation information (cool off period), the cancellation period for a contract is extended to 12 months from the day it would have ended if the information was provided on time. The cancellation period begins when the consumer receives the information.

This is in turn corroborated in legislation as detailed below

Part 3, clause 31 of The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013

Cancellation period extended for breach of information requirement

31.— (1) This regulation applies if the trader does not provide the consumer with the information on the right to cancel required by paragraph (l) of Schedule 2, in accordance with Part 2.

(2) If the trader provides the consumer with that information in the period of 12 months beginning with the first day of the 14 days mentioned in regulation 30(2) to (6), but otherwise in accordance with Part 2, the cancellation period ends at the end of 14 days after the consumer receives the information.
(3) Otherwise, the cancellation period ends at the end of 12 months after the day on which it would have ended under regulation 30

I think my intensive course with OneWeekDriving was a crucial driving approach that I gained from my Instructor, Safeer Ahmad which led me to pass my practical driving test on my first attempt. I felt very satisfied. Another thing that I was so impressed with was their test booking schedule for me - they respected their word and guarantee very well (within 10 days after the course).
