National Driving School

Fantastic experience: Passed on my first attempt!! I had Chris as my driving instructor and cannot recommend him and this school enough. They are so professional, understanding, patient and considerate. Chris is full of knowledge and helped me become a confident driver and I can’t thank him enough. I really enjoyed my lessons and pre test with National Driving School Dublin, couldn’t have done it without them!!

Fantastic experience: I did my driving lessons and pretest with Lukasz Wnek from National Driving School in Tallaght, and I can’t recommend him enough! Lukasz was incredibly patient, professional, and thorough in his teaching. He gave me the confidence and skills I needed to pass my driving test. His tips and guidance during the pretest were spot on and made all the difference on test day. If you’re looking for an excellent instructor, I highly recommend Lukasz! Thanks again for all your help!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend National Driving School! My test centre was Deans grange - Chris was my driving instructor. I was struggling with confidence on the road, from my first lesson Chris has been brilliant from positive constructive criticism to boosting my confidence it has been a great experience. Chris knew his way around Dun loaghaire and his knowledge what exactly to look for by RSA is incredible. Couldn't have been better! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Kevin Veeren is absolutely a professional, patient and reliable good driving instructor.i thank him for transforming me into a confident driver. I have passed my exam on 1st attemp and enjoyed my experience of learning. I highly recommend kevin

Fantastic experience: Kevin is a great instructor and helped me pass my test in 1st attempt which I couldn’t because of my own error, but I passed in 2nd attempt. Once you are done with your classes, Kevin tries to give you pre test classes and thats where he will act as test instructor and will monitor small things and errors you are making. He helps you get cross that fine line which makes all the impact (bringing finesse to your driving) on that day and brings that confidence in you even if you are feeling nervous on the test day. Highly recommended if you are getting a slot in Tallaght test centre, he is the best in that area and have 20+ years experience in getting candidates passed their driving test.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Karol Wocial from National Driving School (Naas) as a driving instructor. I passed my Irish driving test today for the first attempt. My instructor Karol Wocial helped me a lot. From beginning to now he is very helpful and friendly. I have never seen such an amazing instructor like him. He corrects all of my major mistakes. I am very grateful to have such a good friend like him After 12 lessons when I couldn't find Karol at KDA I went there and requested for his number, they didn't give me. Later I found Karol by myself.

Fantastic experience: I did 12 EDT lessons with Peter back in February, I also did my pre tests for my driving test with Peter and I passed today. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Peter made me feel relaxed and confident. Thanks so much

Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time thanks to excellent guidance from Chris. He made things so simple, easy to retain, practical and test oriented. He was also very patient and relaxed, creating a great environment to learn. Couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Fantastic experience: I have been driving for over a year now, failed my exam 3 times, I changed my previous driving instructor for National Driving School and got a really good driving instructor “Karol Wocial” in Naas. I had 3 hours with him and I learned more than I have in a year and I passed my driving test flawlessly after doing just 3 hours with him. He thought me everything there was to know and fixed my mistakes that I was doing. I would highly recommend to anyone especially if you’re having troubles in driving.

Fantastic experience: Passed driving test today with erus. Had great experience his knowledge, patience and tips got me over the line.. He was very professional and I'd highly recommend him he went above and beyond when I was late for lesson he accommodated me and scheduled me for later that evening.. wouldn't of passed test without him.

Fantastic experience: Thank you, Keith and Lukas from National Driving School! After three failed attempts, I finally passed my test at the Tallaght Test Centre. Although my mistakes were minor nuances, I struggled to correct them due to poor instruction from my previous driving school and years of ingrained habits from over a decade of driving in Istanbul. Keith was incredibly helpful in identifying my bad habits and guiding me to adjust them. He also corrected the misinformation I had received earlier. I truly appreciate his expertise and support. I highly recommend National Driving School!

Fantastic experience: I just passed my driving test first time in Carlow and I genuinely couldn’t of done it without Cristina! She is such a positive and warm friendly person that explains things so clearly and doesn’t judge you if it takes you time to understand! I was such a nervous and anxious driver but Cristina was always so positive and supportive throughout our lessons! I couldn’t have passed without her knowledge and patience! I can’t recommend Cristina enough!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Seweryn from National Driving Institute as a driving instructor. He is the BEST. He is incredibly patient and understanding, even when I was struggling with a particular maneuver. He broke down complex concepts into easy-to-understand steps, and his positive attitude kept me motivated throughout the learning process. Thanks to his expert guidance, I was able to pass my driving test on the first attempt 23-09-2024. I couldn't have done it without him! He is such a nice person to have travelled with giving a warm feeling. Thanks Seweryn for all your efforts to make me a confident Driver!

Fantastic experience: Here’s a revised version with improved grammar and elevated language: --- I had the privilege of training with David Wilson from National Driving School. Initially, I took six EDT classes with Flexi Drive’s Gabby, but for my mock test on November 23rd, I booked with David Wilson. During the mock test, he was not satisfied with my performance, especially since my driving test was scheduled for November 27th. He remarked that I needed extensive practice, but he also generously shared valuable tips and tricks. Fortunately, my test was canceled that day due to snow. Subsequently, I booked a two-hour training session with David, during which he taught me all the basics from scratch. There’s a common notion that passing the driving test on the first attempt is nearly impossible, but David consistently reassured me, saying, *“Don’t worry; I’ll make sure you clear it on your first attempt.”* Today , 11th December I cleared it. True to his word, he delivered. David isn’t just an instructor; he goes above and beyond to support his students. He assists with booking slots, calls 30 minutes before your test to check if you’ve reached the test center, and repeatedly encourages you to reach out if you have any doubts. Today , from 2.55 to till 3.45 this man was waiting for me in the waiting hall, truely hats off. Without a doubt, I highly recommend David as an exceptional instructor for anyone aiming to pass on their first attempt. One word of caution: he is strict when you repeat the same mistakes, but this only reflects his dedication to your success. Thank you so much, David!

Fantastic experience: I’m thrilled to share that I passed my driving license test on my first attempt, all thanks to the excellent training I received at National Driving School! From day one, the instructors were professional, patient, and highly knowledgeable. They tailored the lessons to my needs, ensuring I built confidence behind the wheel while mastering all the necessary skills. The step-by-step guidance on both theory and practical aspects of driving made a huge difference. Their focus on safety, clear communication, and practical tips for passing the test were invaluable. I highly recommend National Driving School to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient driving school. Thank you for helping me achieve this milestone!

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test yesterday on first attempt. I had taken 6 EDT lessons from David Wilson of National Driving School. He was always calm and accurate. I highly recommend his classes.

Fantastic experience: Passed first time in Dun Laoghaire after having 2 pre tests with Keith. Amazing teacher, very patient and encouraging and gave some great advice for the day of the test. Would highly recommend him to anyone doing their test in Dun Laoghaire.

Fantastic experience: I would like to Thank Kevin Horgan who was very helpful towards my passing driving test. When I failed my first test he helped me to be positive about my failure because I felt I didn’t failed. He improved my report sheet marks and one particular video was on 5 reasons students fail was a game changer too

Fantastic experience: Thank you Keith! I was extremely under-prepared and anxious leading up my test. I had booked a pretest for the day before and morning of test, and learned more in those sessions than I did in my 12 EDT's a year ago with another company. Keith helped me stamp out my bad habits, quickly got me up to speed in a manual even though I had been practicing in an automatic, and best of all, he helped keep me calm and confident. Passed my test this morning in Dun Laoghaire/Deansgrange thanks to Keith. Also, 10/10 for his manual car-hire service. Car was lovely and clean, and extremely smooth. Lastly, extremely nice chap. Very friendly and easy to talk to. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Fantastic experience: I recently took a mock test with Chris right before my driving test, and it made a huge difference! I passed the test in first attempt .

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Chris and the NDS more. I went to him for a one hour pre test 24 hrs before my test and very quickly he was able to pinpoint the tweaks I needed to make to be test ready the next day. Chris went above and beyond to meet me an hour before my test the following day for a final run through. The advice and confidence he gave me, alongside the NDS social video content and text resources are the reason I passed. He is an excellent instructor and I would highly recommend the NDS.

Fantastic experience: Before I contacted NDS, I had taken lessons with 3 other different instructors and Keith was by far the best. Despite having paid for many lessons, I was not quite ready for the test, and Keith's approach made all the difference. Keith is friendly, approachable, and truly passionate about teaching. He has a sharp eye for detail and spots every mistake, also giving you ways to correct them efficiently. His knowledge of the test process is invaluable and provides helpful tips to ensure you pass. Keith is everything an instructor should aspire to be. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Daniel, I was able to pass my driving test in the first try, I done 4 lessons with him and he was so helpful and patient and most importantly super wise. He took me on a few routes and showed me which corners they usually examine for reverse around the corners and that corner was the one I had to do. He gave me so much tips and most importantly confidence. I highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for lessons!

He brings so much experience and expertise but also teaches in a way that puts you at ease and a safe space. He’s the ultimate instructor if you’re looking to pass your test. Couldn’t recommend highly enough 10/10

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend the pretest lessons from NDS enough. Kevin was absolutely fantastic and incredibly helpful. He took the time to discuss important information both before and after each lesson, ensuring you have everything you need to improve and pass your test. If you are willing to put the information provided by the NDS, with practice you will pass.

Fantastic experience: I passed my test first time and owe it all to Chris!! I did one pretest with Chris which boosted my confidence so much. He is such a gent and went out of his way to do the pretest with me. He was so friendly and patient and was so reassuring. He gave me all the information I needed to be fully prepared for my test. Would highly recommend him to anyone who has a test coming up soon. Thanks so much again Chris!

Fantastic experience: Thanks to the National Driving School, I passed my test the first time. It's been a long struggle to get here and passing the test was one of the best feelings in the world. My instructor, Julia was wonderful and I loved her positive energy and kindness. I felt very relaxed in the car. We did pretest lessons and a mock test, the latter in really rainy conditions but Julia was very encouraging and calm. My test was also in really rainy conditions but I was already "warmed up" from the mock test. Thank you for your work Julia.

Fantastic experience: I completed my mock test and pretest lessons with Daniel. He was very enthusiastic and explained my errors in a coherent manner, helping me understand the format of the test and marking scheme.

Fantastic experience: I was able to pass my test first time with the help of the very professional instructor, Clodagh. She is incredibly patient and makes you feel at ease from the very first time behind the wheel! Clodagh was quickly able to establish what areas I needed most work on and help me not only to develop the necessary skills but also to give me confidence going forward. Helping me become a more confident driver and overall safer driver. Best advice I can give to anyone starting off is listen to Clodagh and take the time to look over the amazing notes she tailors for each student!

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test thanks to Steven! He's an amazing instructor who helped me pass on my test with ease, I was really nervous before, but my pre-test with Steven calmed me down. Thank you so much, Steven!

Fantastic experience: I have been lucky to have TREVOR as my instructor. His lessons transformed me into a confident driver on the road, that’s why I have passed my exam in first attempt with zero faults. I truly enjoyed entire experience of learning with him. The best instructor.

Fantastic experience: I recently took a driving class with Krzys Chris right before my driving test, and it made a huge difference! Krzys is an outstanding instructor who is patient, knowledgeable, and professional. He quickly identified areas I needed to improve and gave me practical tips that boosted my confidence.

He explained everything clearly and ensured I felt confident behind the wheel. I highly recommend Karol to anyone looking to learn how to drive!

Fantastic experience: I booked two refresh lessons just before my test. Julia was a wonderful instructor, very positive and enthusiastic. As an anxious driver I found her to be very helpful as she made me feel at ease and explained everything thoroughly and was happy to answer any and all questions I had. Passed my test first try!

Fantastic experience: Kevin is an excellent instructor and is helpful at each step of the way from the first lesson to getting your license. He understands test routes very well, and is encouraging throughout the lessons. I was able to pass at first try in Raheny because of him. Definitely book a pre test with him before the actual test.

Fantastic experience: I did a Pre-Test with Cristina and I'm 100% confident she's the reason I passed on my first attempt. Her instructions were clear and timely and she even provided supplemental documentation and follow-up conversation that I was able to study and prepare even after our in-person lesson. I can't recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test on the first attempt, thanks to Mr. Trevor's excellent instruction! Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable instructor.

Fantastic experience: My instructor was Mr Trevor O’Connor. Great man and a very constructive instructor. His lessons and advice were clear and easy to understand. Nothing complicated. Would highly recommend for people who want to excel in their driving test. I went from 15 grade 2s and 1 grade 3 to 1 grade2 after working with Trevor.

Fantastic experience: Took only three lessons with a tester by the name of Clodagh to help push me over the finish line and pass my driving test. Was enormously knowledgable and key to creating a focused mindset in the car without over thinking. If you've at any point felt overwhelmed with how to proceed, couldn't recommend Clodagh enough to get you on the road with confidence!

Fantastic experience: Trevor was an amazing instructor. He was patient and kind managed to guide me without making me feel stressed, After a number of fails with other companies, I passed the first time with Trevor, and I would highly recommend the National Driving School. They have such a different way of teaching you, on a more human level. I can 100% say my children will be doing their lessons with Trevor as soon as they do their theory test. I can't thank Trevor enough because I was so close to just giving up on driving altogether he gave me the confidence to do it, and I passed.

Fantastic experience: Kamil was such a good instructor! Really patient and kind and helped me understand the rules of the road and how to control the car. I don't think I would have passed without him, would 100% recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: I did my 12 lessons with David Wilson with national driving school and I never felt safer and informed about road and car safety and he was also very friendly and patient! I did my driving test for my full licence today and passed 1st time with flying colours!! So happy! Thanks again to David!

Fantastic experience: I Booked two lessons with Daniel before my driving test. It wasn't my first attempt and the expectation was high so as the anxiety . Daniel was so nice to calming me down and to explain what I was doing wrong and to correct it . I felt relaxed and more confident on myself and I finally passed today. I can't recommend them enough. ❤️

Fantastic experience: Would 100 percent recommend NDS. I had a great experience. Damien was my instructor, he was extremely encouraging, easy-going and clear. His small tips were invaluable and he was overall very helpful. Passed on my first attempt.

Fantastic experience: I passed my Driving test in First attempt. I took a Pretest with the Driving instructor Paul in Navan, and it was really helpful in every bit and overcoming my faults. He is really calm and explains everything in detail. I highly recommend taking lessons and pretest with them.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend National Driving School highly enough! Passed my test today, 1st time! I started with them doing my 12 EDT lessons with Keith in a manual car which was great, he was really patient, helpful and knowledgeable regarding all my questions. He really set me up strongly for driving and quickly ironed out any bad habits I was developing early. I decided after finishing these lessons to make the switch to an automatic instead and continued my lessons with Chris, I always knew automatic was the way I’d go but wanted to try the manual anyways to see. Chris is an amazing teacher and a lovely guy who takes the stress out of driving. He set clear goals for me to work on each lesson and this helped enormously when it came to my test. He helped to turn me (a once quite nervous driver) into someone who is much more calm and confident behind the wheel. He truly knows what he’s doing 100% so you can be confident that you’re in safe hands with him. If you’re thinking of lessons then NDS is a fantastic choice. You will get tonnes of practice on the routes you’ll being doing in the actual test which really helps . Cannot recommend highly enough! Thanks Chris, Keith and Jackie!

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with Cristina from National Driving School. Her guidance and support were instrumental in helping me pass my driver's test. Cristina is not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and encouraging. Her teaching methods are clear and effective, making me feel confident and well-prepared for the test. I highly recommend Cristina and National Driving School to anyone looking to get their driver's license. Thank you, Cristina, for all your help!

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend National Driving School more! I was super anxious to start driving and was recommended Fergal at NDS who was super patient and encouraging. He made me laugh when I needed it and never gave up on me even when I was contemplating changing to an automatic because I never thought I’d get the hang of a manual! I done all my 12 EDTs with Fergal and a pretest with Chris the day before my test. Chris was amazing at preparing me and it was definitely the final push over the finish line I needed as I passed my full test the following day after just 4 months driving. Chris was also waiting outside the test centre when I drove back in to see how I got on. Thank you guys so much I wouldn’t have done as well with anyone else

Fantastic experience: I took a pretest session with National Driving School just before my driving test. Honestly speaking it was really handy and pushed me to recall many curial points. Thanks to the NDS for the amazing job. Would recommend everyone to take a lessons and pretest session with NDS. Instructor Kevin is incredible man, big respect.

Fantastic experience: I took my EDT lessons with Chris and passed my driving test in the first attempt. All his classes were informative and well structured. Chris is friendly and patient and had all my questions answered in a very clear way. He gave me the right instructions and guidance that helped me clear my test. Chris is the best instructor

Fantastic experience: A big thank you to Chris at NDS!! I passed my driving test today with only one grade 2! Chris is a fantastic instructor who made sure I was fully prepared and confident going into the test. His advice, along with the resources and videos he shared, made all the difference. I couldn’t recommend him enough! Thank you, Chris!

Fantastic experience: Could not recommend Adeel enough as a driving instructor. He is very patient and helped me learn the rules of the road.

Thanks Adeel :)

Fantastic experience: Great experience with Adeel and all the team working in the National Driving School. Being an older person my confidence wasn't great starting out but Adeel was very patient and put me at my ease. Aidan took my on my pre-test and this was highly helpful. Can't recommend them enough for helping me pass 1st time. Thanks guys

Fantastic experience: Steve has been a fantastic instructor. Very calm demeanor and made me feel super comfortable as a complete beginner. I had no prior experience with driving and he made me feel like a natural behind the wheel . I have received my full licence successfully thanks to his efforts. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I done many pretests and lessons with national driving school , got some great advice from all the team. If anyone is looking for lessons,pretests and resfresher lessons this is the place to go, guaranteed to pass your test first time Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great driving experience with Karol, he is a very good teacher, he is very patient and explains everything very well! I 100% recommend him to first time drivers he will have you driving like a pro in no time!

Fantastic experience: I did a pretest lesson with Cristina and she pointed out exactly what I needed to focus on and fix before my test and gave really clear guidance on how to fix it. It had been a while since I'd done my 12 lessons and the session with Cristina was the perfect booster, helping me to iron out any bad habits. She was patient, calm, really thorough, and definitely helped me pass. Such a relief to have it behind me, thanks Cristina!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Julia enough! She was absolutely fantastic, always encouraging and believing in me every step of the way. Julia didn’t just teach me the rules of the road – she helped me build real confidence and even sparked a love for driving. Her trust in my abilities made all the difference, and each lesson left me feeling more prepared and excited to drive independently. If you’re looking for an instructor who genuinely cares and makes learning enjoyable, Julia is the one!

Fantastic experience: Could not recommend Tomas enough! He was extremely helpful and informative during pretests and after sending very helpful videos and links to prepare me for my test. I passed my test yesterday thanks to all of his great help

Fantastic experience: Vamshi is such a great instructor and I had a fantastic experience getting my lessons from him. He teaches you all you need to know for your driving test and also helped me get familiar with the routes. I passed on my first attempt, excellent trainer , I definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Krzys (Chris) to anyone looking to pass their driving test with confidence. He was incredibly patient, supportive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. When I started going to him, I was incredibly nervous behind the wheel. He tailored each lesson to my needs, helping me to build my skills gradually and giving me the confidence I needed to pass the test. What I appreciated most was Chris’ calm and encouraging approach, especially when I was feeling nervous. He was very friendly which made the process a lot more comfortable. Thanks again, can’t wait to get on the road now!! Beep beep.

Fantastic experience: Daniel was very patient and helpful. He gave me all the right details during my driving lesson with him. He gave me all the tips on passing your driving test and I passed on my first attempt. I really recommend him for every learner looking for a driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing instructor named Clodagh❤️ We only did 3 classes for a total of 3.5hours and I passed on the first try this afternoon. Thanks a million National Driving School, Clodagh, you are the best❤️‍ God bless. Let’s go

Fantastic experience: I did a mock test/2 HR driving session with Peter, and it was so so helpful!! Peter pointed out just the right things for me to correct without making me nervous and making sense of it all. He was extremely helpful making me practice where I was lacking and in sharing tips! The previous place I had done my EDT lessons for had me confused at many places,but this session was amazing! Thanks Peter! I passed my test a few days after :)

Fantastic experience: A very big thanks to Steve, from NDS. I just passed my driving test on the first attempt, and I couldn’t have done it without Steve! He is an outstanding driving instructor—patient, knowledgeable, and always calm, no matter the situation. His clear guidance and helpful tips gave me the confidence I needed to feel fully prepared for the test. He focused on the little details and helped me perfect my driving skills, which made all the difference. If you're looking for a reliable and skilled instructor, I highly recommend Steve and NDS! P.S. Make sure to do a pre-test lesson just before your actual test, to build up that last minute confidence.

Fantastic experience: My journey to my passing the driving test started 1.5 years ago thanks to a wonderful RSA. However, it was a pleasure to spend my time re learning how to drive ( on the left side of the road, weird :-) after 30 years driving in New York ) and sharpening my driving skills with an amazing and wonderful instructor Clodagh. She was brutal with me, in a good way, and sent me home with notes and videos and homework after each lesson. She had great communication and teaching skills, patience and was positive and supportive. And her smile… the best ! I highly recommend this driving school and if Clodagh is your driving instructor you will be well prepared for your driving test and will pass. But remember! do your homework and pay attention to your driving instructor. Do as she says!

Fantastic experience: National Driving school is the best especially Chris Kennedy. . I recently took a pretest from Chris for Dun Laoghaire and i will say the pretest was really really good and beneficial. Chris covered all the points even the minor details too. During the real test I felt really confident as Chris has already covered everything needed during the test. I cleared my test in the first attempt and credit really goes to Chris. Highly highly recommended to book classes with him. Great job Chris

Fantastic experience: Chris is an excellent instructor who truly understands his students and offers consistent encouragement. His approachable and supportive personality makes him highly recommended any day. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to pass the test successfully!

Fantastic experience: “I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with Kevin. He was incredibly patient, professional, and always calm, which helped me build my confidence on the road. His clear instructions and supportive teaching style made all the difference, especially leading up to my driving test. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a top-notch driving instructor. Thanks to him, I passed my test!”

Fantastic experience: Highly, highly recommend Krzys as a driving instructor! I was always looking forward to my lessons with Krzys as he was very good at explaining different topics, and made the lessons really enjoyable. If I was ever unsure about a certain aspect of my driving, I always felt comfortable telling Krzys and we would immediately practice these aspects which had me leaving every lesson extremely confident. After completing my lessons and mock test with Krzys I was able to pass my test with only 3 grade 2’s. If anyone is looking to pass their test efficiently, without wasting time and money, Krzys is the man to get you there!!!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Keith enough! After over 11 months since EDT without driving, he helped me get back up to standard in just a few sessions and pass the test from the first attempt. He identified all the bad habits I had developed from past driving and used a professional, consistent (and persistent) approach to ensure I wouldn't make mistakes during the test. He even threw in a free warm-up session right before the test because he genuinely wanted me to succeed. I had limited experience driving manual, but now I have a full driving license! Highly recommend him for anyone looking to pass their test with confidence!

Fantastic experience: I had all my 12 lessons with Peter and he is such a great instructor. He teaches you all you need to know for the driving test and very patient throughout all lessons. Peter teaches and provides you with all the materials needed to pass the test like he is the one doing the test himself. Glad I took my lessons with Peter and passed it on my first attempt.

Fantastic experience: I would like to express my deep gratitude to driving instructor Chris for his professionalism and patience! He has a profound knowledge of traffic rules and exceptional driving skills, which make every lesson highly productive. Chris is always calm and polite, explains difficult moments clearly, and helps overcome any fears on the road. Thanks to his professionalism and individual approach, I felt confident behind the wheel and quickly mastered all the necessary skills. If you're looking for an instructor who will truly teach you to drive from scratch or improve your skills, Chris is an excellent choice! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I passed my test today, thanks to my instructor Julia who was amazing and very patient when teaching me, she was very helpful and observant to little details and very encouraging! I was super comfortable learning with her and even when I thought I would fail, she always reminded me I could do it and believed in me. I will always recommend her to everyone thank you so much for your time and knowledge

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Barney, I passed my driving test the first time. I had my 12 lessons done with him and I also hired him for pre test lessons, his knowledge and direction throughout my whole lesson with made the actual test seem very easy because he covered every aspect of safe driving. I highly recommend Barney for anyone looking for a driving instructor, he’ll get you ready

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with my driving instructor Chris. Chris is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the entire learning process. Chris explained everything clearly, provided excellent feedback, and made me feel confident behind the wheel. Thanks to their guidance, I passed my driving test in First attempt.Highly recommend Chris...!!! Thanks a lot

Fantastic experience: I did refresher lessons with Lukas and hired same manual car for my driving test. I passed the test! Lukas has been exceptional with the lessons, knowledge of routes and key things to call out and explain for improvements. It has been great experience overall and definitely recommended.

Fantastic experience: Today I passed my driving test first time in Naas thanks to all the help from Julia. The instruction, guidance and help I received was excellent and I went into the test confident and ready!! I knew exactly what to do and had no sudden surprises. Thanks again!

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Chris from national driving school enough for lessons and pretests. Very reasonable prices and with Chris’s help I passed my test first time today in Tallaght! He was great at calming the nerves, pointing out where you needed work and encouraging you to keep going with things you’re good at which I found great for my confidence!

Fantastic experience: Big thank you to Chris for shepherding both my son and daughter through the life event that is passing your driving test! His skill as a teacher and knowledge of the process are second to none. But most importantly his positive encouraging and supportive manner is what makes him stand out as a truly great teacher. You couldn’t put yourself in better hands!

Fantastic experience: Chris was a delightful mentor. Incredibly knowledgeable, observant and a fair instructor. I took my reduced EDTs and a couple of pretests with him. His guidelines and way of teaching made driving so intuitive and smooth. The result? I passed the test on my FIRST ATTEMPT! Couldn’t recommend him enough. He’s your guy!!!

Fantastic experience: Had the opportunity to learn driving from Thomas. I cannot recommend him more, he was patient , helpful and masterful. On the pre test lessons he helped me focus on my weaknesses. Happy to report I was successful on first attempt.

Fantastic experience: I took lessons from Peter and mock test from Lukas, they helped me a great deal to become a good driver. They were patient and taught me with the correct rules of driving. It was easy to follow their instructions and they helped me become more confident. I did a pre-test session with Steve and it was just what was needed to make sure I passed the test. He was patient and very clear about the driving instructions and that helped me to be confident during the test. Very grateful to National school of driving for great instructors! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Texted them with very short notice and they got me in contact with an instructor straight away! I have failed to pass my test three times due to stress management and lack of confidence . Keith fit me in for a lesson the week prior to my test and one an hour before the test itself. He was fantastic and really helped me with smoother driving and helping me be more confident! Would definitely recommend it to anyone nervous before your test!!!!

Fantastic experience: It's surreal to even be writing this but I passed my driving test this week, thanks to Trevor, the best instructor ever! From not even knowing which pedal was the brake in the first lesson a couple months ago, to passing first time I can't explain how much of a help Trevor was from start to finish! Trevor has a way of instilling confidence into you from the get go, celebrating every win & bit of progress you make, whilst still being honest & helping you focus on the areas that need work. He's an absolute credit to the National Driving School team. If you can choose your instructor, I would HIGHLY recommend going with Trevor as you won't regret it! Thank you sir, for pushing me from day one and getting me to do what I thought at the start of this journey, would be impossible! Couldn't have done it without all your help, patience, knowledge & guidance, ya big legend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic experience: Before my pre-test with Chris I was not only a more nervous driver but I was lacking in the confidence I needed to face and pass the driving test. Chris was encouraging, supportive and extremely thorough. He praised the things I was doing that made me a good driver already and pointed out the things that I could improve upon, helping me to polish my skills on the road. I cannot recommend NDS (and in particular Chris) enough.

Fantastic experience: We had the pleasure of working with Aidan for lessons for my boyfriend, he gave such great advice and tips and made time for us even on his day off to help since we were coming down from Midleton. He is a great instructor and helped my boyfriend pass his test we were absolutely delighted!
