If you have a NUS or UCASCard
You can get a £2 discount on EVERY LESSON you take with BSM.

Yes you can combine the Tesco deal and the FIVE475 deal thus giving you a total of 9 lessons plus the other bits and bobs such as simulator training etc.
The offer can only be used once so your not able to book 10 lessons for £150 to start with.
I hope this is of some use

Thanks. Just `phoned and was told that their lessons are 2 hours long, so have to book 6 hours @ £98.75 and nearest to here is Cambridge. Not even the same county. Still worth considering as a birthday pressie for my daughter. She wants to be a nanny when she finishes her course and will probably need a licence.0

I've seen BSM cars in Bury so I would be surprised if there is not a BSM instructor around there.0

BSM are just about the worst Driving School in the country, employing lots of Trainee Instructors.
Good instruction is vital to your long term safety, and that of others.
Think on, before going for cut price Driving Instruction.
It is only Cut Price for a reason..0 -

Do you have a vested interest in a competitor....? What you've posted is a lot of twaddle in my opinion. Are you forgetting that each instructor is independently assessed by a third party regularly, or that BSM is one of the most - if not the most popular driving school in the country....? Me thinks you got the hump with BSM because you didn't pass your test. Me? Passed first time with them due to the excellent and patient training by one of their instructors.
BSM aren't the cheapest, but in my view - the best by a long chalk. I've recommended many people to be trained by them and I've yet to hear a wrong word about them.
Learn from the mistakes of others - you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.0 -

Well I actually did pass my test first time, and no I don't have any vested interest in BSM or any Driving School, but what I said is fact, take it or leave it.0 -
The driving instructor is what matters most. I am sure BSM will have good ones and crap ones. Whether a driving instructor is independent, with BSM or AA it all doesn't matter so long as they teach you how to drive properly and don't string you along to get loads of cash out of you.
I was with BSM. The instructor was good but I think he probably delayed the test a week or two more than necessary, but I guess it's in his interest to get me to pass first time, rather than second - and I passed first time.
If only there was a deal as good as the halfords vouchers one a while back which I took advantage ofbut this one is better than nothing
With BSM if you don't get along with an instructor or think they're crap you can always ask to change.0 -

BSM do employ a lot of trainee instructors who have not been independently assessed. Once they have passed the independent assessment they are no longer trainees.
Trainee driving instructors are allowed 3 attempts to pass their assessment, so a trainee could fail an assessment in the morning yet still be training you in the afternoon. Nothing wrong with BSM provided you get a fully qualified instructor (they will display a green badge on their windscreen), rather than a trainee.0 -
i agree the offer for inside the m25 is rather pants but for the rest of the UK the offer is amazing!0
