“Anyone considered whether these reviews are legitmate?”
Written on: 09/05/2013 by omcadoo
Very impressed indeed. Also, have had several people recommend BSM that have passed first time (including wife and sister in law). I wasn't going to write a review but, having read the majority of comments on this page, felt obliged to do so. Perhaps it's the sceptic in me, but I can't help but wonder whether many of these were written by rival driving schools? Even if not, it would help if they were legible! It is my understanding that BSM are the national (and the oldest) driving... (read more)

“Nasty Instructor”
Written on: 30/04/2013 by Bel0612 (1 review written)
I had what I thought was a good instructor for a few refresher lessons until I had to postpone a lesson for essential reasons that could have compromised my safety: in accordance with my verbal agreement with that specific instructor:I'd factored in postponing lessons at short notice - mainly owing to work related issues. No problem for this either then. A verbal agreement is a verbal agreement and it would just be re-booked with no cancellation charge. The BSM written contract that says... (read more)

“horrible”
Written on: 29/04/2013
BSM I consider is the worst driving school ever. The instructors are very manupulative and try and squeeze as many lessons as possible.I had an instructor for automatic car , he never arrived on time and was very intimidating.I left BSM and joined other driving school and in 5 lessons could successfully pass the test. Please be very vigilant whilst choosing a driving school. (read more)

Inadequate standards, extremely expensive and push to test when not ready. Having now switched to a local driving school I cannot believe the difference in teaching quality and standards. I am having to unlearn all the crappy habits bsm have taught me and start over. Complete waste of time and money. My current instructor keeps asking me if I'm sure bsm haven't taught me this or that as he cannot believe how lacking in basic habits I am. Would never ever go to bsm again! (read more)

I started having my lessons at the beginning of March this year and completed 12 hours so far with another 9 booked. I'm not yet 18 but wanted to pass my test before I go to university and so my mother has a friend that has passed with BSM first time after 40 hours of driving, though she didn't have a car to practice on. She recommended a certain instructor in my area and so I've decided to choose him, although he was the most expensive one. Turned out he is, as I see, one of the few... (read more)

I had taken 2 tests previously with another company but then had to stop due to Uni and decided to try again with the big name company.

That is the problem with BSM if you are a beginner, they also give you a beginner instructor who do not really understand you're need to learn, but you are lucky because you are not beginner so they give you a good instructor. I am also in BSM now and i am not happy as my instructor do not build my confidence at all, actually she tried to put it down. Just to be polite I do not ask for a replacement, is only basics anyway, i just study myself and get what i can get for the car for my money, but they will be no second time on this company, cause is not great.

When I first started out training I had a few technical hitches and my instructor trainer left the business etc, I was a little left in the dark as it were and then they appointed Joe! Joe is brilliant, I have to admit to not being the best pupil on earth and have struggled with a few things but Joe has always shown patience and encouragement, I live in in cornwall and Joe has a 200 mile round trip which would mean he would be leaving at silly o clock to meet me in Truro for 8!

I underwent my ADI training with Joe in the Southampton area, and he drove miles to train me up and not once did he complain? He is a very professional man and exceptionally good at his ‘craft’. Joe spots every fault you make and makes a really good student in role play. I was never the easiest of students for him, I often frustrated myself, but he kept on pushing me until I did eventually pass on my second attempt. It was a pleasure knowing Joe and I hope we meet up again, maybe for... (read more)

I passed first time as well, and my instructor would only put me in for the test if I was ready. Which showed that he wasn't just interested in having... (read more)

My local BSM Driving Intructor Trainer, Joe has been fantastic, helping me in every way to become a good driving instructor. I am about to take my Part 3 exam very soon, but I am confident that I will pass this because the training has been so thorough. Lessons have been very enjoyable, especially the role play and I have definately learned lots of new skills that I will need for the future. For one my personal driving skills have improved vastly. Well done and thank you. (read more)

My instructor is great and he's so organised and genuinely cares, funny and makes you feel comfortable.

On my first two hour lesson I was driving for the majority of the hours. After driving me to a quiet road we swapped seats and he spent five minutes explaining a few things. He was very patient and kind and I felt at ease. He also boosted my confidence saying that he had never let a student on their first lesson drive home and go onto busier streets. I felt very good at the end of the lesson I feel I've progressed a lot. I panicked after reading these reviews of bsm. My instructor is great... (read more)

I booked a lesson on the BSM website and paid by debit card. The instructor never showed up and didn't even bother to call us to cancel. After phoning the company, they explained me the online offer wasn't available in my area and that they would refund the money paid, they did not apologize. They never refunded me, despite contacting them several times over the phone and through e-mails. I would never deal with that company again. (read more)

If you take a short break from driving lessons with BSM (which I sometimes did because of being back at Uni during term time), I would receive pushy sales calls saying that I couldn't keep putting my test off etc. - they had no compassion or desire to fit around my lifestyle situation whatsoever; they just wanted me to spend more money with them.

They seem to be focussed on verbal explanations rather than 'practical' driving, which is the whole point of joining a driving school in the first place. I had booked 10 hours and cancelled the booking after 4 useless hours. I have been driving for 7 years (in India and 1 yr in the UK) and all I needed was to get to the DSA standard. But here, I was told that I would need atleast 20-25 hours to do that. In fact, in my 4 hours I hardly drove for 2 hours. Rest of the time I was being tutored... (read more)

I constantly hear poor reviews regards BSM. In the trade we call it Bring Some Money. No doubt they have some good instructors but sadly there franchises are very expensive so instructors must be pretty money orientated I guess. I am an instructor and have worked for a company called learndrive for about 15 years, they have great reviews and really care about their pupils.

Whatever you do, do NOT go with BSM. My experience has been awful.
To begin with, when I started my lessons with BSM it was very much about the money. My first instructor spoke to me about how he preferred it if we didn't drive around to much because it uses a lot of petrol that he has to pay for because BSM don't pay him enough. So, for the majority of the time we'd practise the three point turn over and over. I had no control over the clutch by my fifteenth lesson with him, despite asking...

I dont believe all these bad reviews I believe it's just other driving schools, bsm and AA have 60% pass rate first time? I also paid £190 for 10 hours which IS cheaper than most. I agree the sales are a bit full on but I'm quick full on so I got exactly what I asked for and didn't let them bully me into anything. I'm paying money so I get what I want if you don't like what your doing say to the instructor he will comply as your paying him!
