Our comment from DrivingSchools.Directory about Alexandra School Of Motoring Ltd:

A legacy of excellence and high pass rates

Established in 1965, Alexandra School of Motoring holds a distinguished place in Irish driving education, having been the first school to introduce HGV training to the country. With decades of experience, the school has built a reputation for delivering comprehensive, professional tuition designed to ensure students pass the RSA driving test on their first attempt. Their courses are meticulously structured to meet individual requirements, offering flexible lesson durations of one, one-and-a-half, or two hours to suit every learner's pace.

Instructors who build confidence and skill

The heart of Alexandra's success lies in its team of ADI instructors, who are consistently praised by students for their patience, expertise, and ability to put nervous learners at ease. Instructors such as Sandra, Tom, Robert, and Ken are highlighted for their clear, practical teaching methods that go beyond simply passing a test; they focus on creating safe, competent drivers for life. Many students report feeling significantly more confident after just a few lessons, with instructors taking the time to explain the "why" behind driving rules and using tools like diagrams to clarify complex maneuvers.

  • Patient and supportive teaching: Instructors are renowned for remaining calm under pressure, helping students overcome anxiety and build self-assurance behind the wheel.
  • Personalized feedback: Lessons are tailored to correct specific bad habits and reinforce strengths, with instructors providing detailed, constructive feedback after every session.
  • Expertise in test preparation: Instructors have in-depth knowledge of local test routes and examiner expectations, ensuring students are thoroughly prepared for the practical exam.

Seamless administration and flexible scheduling

Behind the scenes, the administrative team, led by Caroline, plays a crucial role in the student experience. The office staff is frequently commended for their professionalism, responsiveness, and willingness to accommodate busy schedules. Whether arranging last-minute pre-test lessons, handling test bookings, or providing reminders and study materials, the team ensures a smooth and stress-free journey from enrollment to passing the test. Their flexibility in rescheduling and their proactive communication are key factors that students appreciate.

Modern vehicles and comprehensive training

Students benefit from training in modern, dual-controlled vehicles that are well-maintained and easy to handle. The school offers a wide range of services, including standard EDT lessons, intensive courses, and specialized training for heavy goods vehicles (HGV), articulated trucks, and Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) modules. For those who do not own a car, Alexandra provides vehicles for both lessons and the final driving test, removing a significant barrier for many new drivers. This holistic approach, combined with a commitment to high standards, makes Alexandra School of Motoring a top choice for learner drivers in Ireland.

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough about Alexandra. I came to them hoping to get a lesson in before my retest having done my EDT with another school and without a doubt the two lessons with them is the reason I passed my test. Caroline was incredibly accommodating and worked hard to fit in a lesson for me before my test, despite me having done no prior lessons with the company before. I learned so much more in the 2 lessons with Alexandra than in the 12+ I had with my previous school. Robert really simplified things for me and helped me refine a few things I had gone a bit rusty on, and in just 1hr Sandra helped me gain confidence with something I had been struggling with for a while. This is absolutely what made the difference when it came to test day. Both instructors were so so helpful. Every encounter I’ve had with Alexandra staff was extremely positive; it’s clear they are invested in everyone who comes to them looking for some help. Can’t help but wonder what kind of driver I would be had I done all my lessons with them, but I’m so glad I found them in the end!

Fantastic experience: Where do I start ! Amazing experience from start to finish . Caroline organised everything for me rearranging appointments etc so I could get over the line and pass my test on the first attempt . Robert who taught me to drive was so relaxed and helpful through the whole process and Sandra who done my final pretest before my test was incredible . Overall I couldn’t recommend Alexandra school of motoring enough . 10 out of 10 service

Fantastic experience: Robert was a great instructor and helped me pass first time. Very relaxed yet stern when needed to be in order to get the proper message across. Definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking to go out on the main roads without any messing about.
