“Warning to all, Do your research before you book a lesson with Brian Foote a BSM instructor in Swindon, was picking me up 10 minutes late & dropping me of 20 minutes early, I asked him why and he stated that he’s not teaching me anymore & terminated all my lesson, called up BSM spoke to Nigel & they just protect the drivers, not only this, Brian Foote also has a bottle of Bacardi In his car so I guess he is a heavy drinker, Brian Foote is A BAD INSTRUCTOR do not use this company or instructor, spread the word & make sure no one else has this bad experience. Waste of DNA this Brian Foote.”

“Cancel lessons at the last minute with no explanation. They do it out of office hours so you can’t contact them and their hopeless chatbot is useless. No care for customers.”

“I feel so lucky BSM matched me to Juliana. Juliana is a fantastic teacher, she makes every lesson fun and something Ive looked forward to. I just had an absolute laugh with her, she is an inspiring and positive person. I couldn’t recommend her enough if you looking for a driving instructor. So many thank yous to Juliana for teaching me, for her patience and helping me stay calm and grow my confidence. And to passing first time at sidcup this month!!! I’m beyond happy to have passed but it’s bittersweet saying goodbye to my amazing teacher.”

“I passed my test today, first time, all thanks to the wonderful Tahira. After many years of dealing with a fear of driving, I really didn’t think I could ever do it! She was kind, patient, and understanding of my anxiety, and allowed me to learn at my pace - while also helping me push past the fear and find courage. I’m so thankful for her, and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic driving instructor. 5 stars!”

“Stay away from this company and Brian Foote in Swindon. He is the greediest old man I have ever seen. He was all about the cha-ching! Every lesson felt like a money-making marathon. We were stuck doing the same maneuvers over and over, and I swear, he invented new reasons to keep me on the road longer. It was like learning to drive took a back seat to his bank account. After a whopping 40 hours of lessons, he drops the bomb: "Cancel your test and I am not going to take you to the test centre." He showed me some statistics that at my age (36) it would be a miracle to pass the exam after 40 hours of lesson and it would destroy his pass rate and he might lose his instruction certificate! I cancelled the test and booked another one. Just to add a sprinkle of frustration, he decides to not take me to the test center only 30 minutes before the test, after a mind-boggling 60 hours of lessons. He was trying to convince me to take more lessons because there is a tiny distance to being a perfect driver. I contacted BSM and requested to change the instructor. HAVE NOT HEARED FROM THEM. So, I started looking for a new private instructor. I took a couple of lessons with the new guy because I needed to get comfortable with new car. The new instructor was surprised that I hadn’t taken a test after 60 hours of lesson yet. He told me that like every other business there are such people and he also mentioned about bad reputation of BSM in this business and it is all about money. BTW, I passed my test in the first try with only 3 minors.”
