  i am a student there now. and when i try to book lessons, there are no lessons till end of march. that's a 5 week waiting period for lessons. wtf? too many students? or too few instructors? if they can't cope, don't take in so many students la. my god. 5 weeks for a lesson.

   

  i booked my first driving lesson in the 2nd week of january. and i haven't gone for it yet. it's next week. i thought for the price i'm paying, at least it'll be easier to book a lesson as and when i like. i'm paying more than 40% more than the private students. $80 a lesson compared to $56. honestly, i don't believe the price difference is justified. If it is, why? enlighten me please.

  the website does everything for us, all we do is top up, book and go for lessons done.
  
  bbdc theory practices not bad, 11 booklets, 50-52 questions each for final theory.
  
  4 booklets of 50questions for basic theory test.

  then can you all book on the internet using credit card? another thing that pisses me off is 80 cents per internet transaction which frankly makes no sense since using the internet decreases manpower costs -.-
