I had a very mixed experience with BSM. The quality of the instuctors is variable, but if you don't get on with one they're very good at sorting you out with another. And they're very convenient and organised.

Ditto (to 'mixed experience') in Cambridge and Oxford. In theory it's useful to have a central office looking after the timetables; in practice one instructor ended up postponing alternate lessons at short notice.

That may not seem helpful advice, but in the absence of any other way to distinguish the 85 driving schools Yell finds in Cambridge, at least BSM offers a pool of instructors.

Good luck! (I have my third test in four weeks' time...)

And their instructors won't be slightly odd blokes who make you drive out to the edge of town then sit for 15 minutes while they disappear off and return with a load of planks!

Good luck to both of you!

I too mostly had lessons with BSM, and found that I had better results when I had an instructor I got on with. Though this may have been partly because I was very stressed at work during the time I was trying with the instructor I didn't like.
