I just got my license last September and I took lessons at BBDC! As a start, you would need to go down to the centre to register, do an eyesight test and attend a briefing. From there, you can start to book theory lessons. (You can only attend practical after finishing your Basic Theory Test)
In general, the theory lectures, practices and tests were all quite affordable. What I did was to read through the Traffic Handbook PDF (get it from the traffic police website instead of buying the physical book) and then book multiple practice tests to familiarise myself with the questions and answers. The questions are quite repetitive, so practicing really helps you ace the actual exam!
As for practical lessons, it really depends on how fast you clear the lessons. It took me 19 lessons to complete the course, and the total cost was around 2k. If you book non-peak timing lessons, it will be cheaper but bear in mind that those time slots are also quite limited and hard to secure.
Itās good to book lessons (both practical and theory) in bulk to minimise waiting time. So I maxed out the number of lessons I can book at any one time, and if I didnāt need that lesson Iāll just cancel it. Cancelling is free 24hrs(or is it 48?) before the date of the lesson. I personally found it beneficial to have at least one practical lesson per week, because itās ultimately muscle memory and having consistent lessons is definitely an advantage. Also, the lesser lessons you need, the lesser youāre paying. (!!!)
I donāt regret choosing BBDC over a private instructor because having more practice sessions in the circuit and test routes makes it easier to pass the tests. But of course, thereās always that debate saying that private Instructors teach you how to drive on actual roads while school Instructors teach you how to pass exams. So ultimately it depends on what youāre looking for. Good luck! (:
