Well, I did go back to your company via phonecall and WhatsApp as did my son, and was categorically told that all monies were between driver and learner and I would have to go back to the driver.... See more

I wish I could give 0 stars. Had a course booked with OWD and started my intensive course. My instructor was no up to par and done many things throughout our time that made me feel unsafe. Contact... See more

Honestly not worth it. No communication between driving instructor and company. My instructor cancelled all lessons and refused to book more because too busy. They didn't find me a test even thou... See more

Saqib has given me confidence

Saqib has given me confidence when driving and has helped me learn a lot in the short space of time I’ve had. I couldn’t get my test in 20 hours and so I think I will probably carry on with him until I get my test. I think that will be in no time at all.

Only rated one star because I cannot…

Only rated one star because I cannot give 0.
Appalled with the customer service of this company.
I booked my course 6 weeks before the due date of the beginning of the course. My instructor was not allocated, and I had to chase this up many of times. Only a week before, it was stated that the only instructor I could have was in Plymouth, nearly an hour journey from my location.
I agreed to this, and spoke to the instructor I was finally allocated, and he was rude, telling me I wouldn’t be able to do the course I wanted.
I tried to contact the instructor to arrange times (only a few days before my course was due to start) and he ignored me many of times, to only then find out he had pulled out. I was the left with no instructor and not able to do my course.
I am also yet to receive a refund.
Appalled with this service, would not recommended at all.

Nice to get it done so quickly!

I found it helpful to have many hours of lessons so close together and also it helped me get familiar with the area and test routes quickly. It may not be for everyone - some people like to learn a little bit at a time - but for me it worked!

I did my course in Plymouth with ESEYAS - brilliant instructor

I did my course in Plymouth with ESEYAS. He was a brilliant instructor - calm, patient, very experienced and got my nervous daughter through her practical test. Took longer than a week but that was in part due to the fact that we are very new to the area and I had underestimated the waiting list for a local Driving Centre and just told One Week Driving to book the first one that came up.

I am glad it was Eseyas as he was excellent but slightly irritated with One Week Driving for not organising something closer [Plymouth is an hours drive away] considering how much notice they had.

One hours drive for each lessons was only undertaken due to the professional tuition of Eseyas. I would recommend him as an instructor

I recommend to everyone, just book

It was amazing experience. I had only 7 driving lessons before I went for my driving test. My instructor showed me everything what I needed to know. He was very helpful and also he answered all my questions.

I went for intensive course and from the my application for it till I got my driving licence took me 1 week.
Thank You Muhammad for your help. I would recommend him as a instructor;)

Great, friendly team.

Duncan was assigned as my instructor and he was super patient, very knowledgeable and always happy to assist where needed. With his skills, I was able to pass first time. Overall, I highly recommend Duncan and the team at OneWeekDriving.

Thank you so much!!

Great experience I feel a huge wait lifted off my shoulders after passing my test. I had a few weeks to pass before my theory test ruin out and I wouldn’t have passed in time if it wasn’t for my amazing instructor. Who took a different approach to past driving instructors I had and got me to feel calm and comfortable finally whilst driving. I’m so happy I completed and passed my driving test with one week driving. Thank you.

It was okay

It was okay, it helped me to get some extra practice in before my test. Don’t know whether I’d do it again, my instructor was nice enough though.

Aurel is great

Aurel is great! The lessons are well-structured, and feedback is very personalised and helpful. I passed the test after 45 hours of lessons, done over a week and a half. The car Aurel provides is perfect for learners, and made for a good learning experience. Would recommend!

An awful experience

I had a one week intensive driving course booked with One Week Driving, after having a driving instructor allocated to me, they then got unallocated with no real explanation. I was then promised for two weeks that I would be allocated an instructor, but that was not to be the case. I think it is absolutely disgusting that a company would take money from someone knowing they were unable to provide that service. I also paid £225.99 for this and was only refunded £190. An absolute disgrace that I am being charged for their mistake.
