    Is this just for new sign ups, I was wondering if I could sign up with the Tesco Deals starter pack and use these for the next block of lessons.

    I looked at the BSM deal with TESCO's but I really didn't think it was worth it! tbh, my son is 17 this year and by memory for 3-4 hours lessons and all the gumph.......

    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.

    I agree - I heard this from a friend who has just qualified as a driving instructor and that BSM pay their instructors the least which is why many of them are these trainees.

    That's strange as my driving instructor said pay the test fee to the BSM people, but that we would arrange a mutually convenient test time and that he'd sort it out. I paid my fee, and told the BSM people that I was going to arrange the time with my instructor. It seems that after that they took it upon themselves to automatically book the test for me, even at a centre I didn't want to do the test at. Nothing to worry about however as my instructor sorted it out. So in my experience it seems they are quite happy to put you in for your test with no discussion with your instructor.
