About 30, passed second time.
I should say that my first instructor I had to change because he wasn't progressing fast enough for me. Took me out and did identical lessons 2/3 times so he was trying to soak up the money, changed and 3/5 lessons later I was ready with a much better instructor.
yea my friend had that problem with some local driving instructor, she was just doing the same stuff over and over... like not even doing any of the maneuvers even after her suggesting them he would just say they'll leave it for another time. I even took her out for a few lessons and said i was a much better instructor haha xD I made her do the moves
giggerdy...... lead by example, showed her what i wanted her to do and then made her do it again and again, like bay parking for about 10 mins when we were going for food to make her get it right.... was good cos once she did it well she felt much better and more confident
but yea she then got a different official instructor and only took a few more lessons
i like to think i was a major part haha xD
I did mine with BSM... granted it was probably more pricy then doing it through other companies but fair doos, never any nonsense, everything we were going to do was organised and well laid out so i could prepare for each lesson and a progress book. may seem gimmiky but i found it really helped as i'm very methodological about things xD
