Colm Branigan Driving Instructor

Fantastic experience: I found Colm’s driving school when I was searching online for a driving instructor who was familiar with the Finglas area to do a pretest with. I had failed my first driving test and Colm provided me with very useful tips to help me reduce any errors and pass the second time around. He was very calm and patient when correcting me and very encouraging throughout the pretest lesson. I would highly recommended Colm to anyone looking to pass their test, especially in the Finglas area.

Fantastic experience: I would 100% recommend Colm in a heartbeat to anyone trying to pass their test. I had a pretest with Colm just a few days before the real thing and the feedback he was able to give me was invaluable on the day. Colm was able to tell me what I was already doing correctly and was also able to provide clear and specific feedback on what I could improve on. He answered all my questions and even took me to areas around my test centre to put them into practice which definitely helped on the day. I highly recommend him

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Colm Branigan to anyone learning to drive in a heartbeat. He has an incredibly patient teaching style which is perfect for anyone who is in any way nervous or anxious. He also tailors the lessons to suit the individual and really tunes in to their needs and takes time to get to know what will work for them. I came across Colm last year as I was looking for a fresh pair of eyes and a different approach to my driving journey. My confidence had been knocked and Colm really helped me get it back. I passed my test this morning and couldn't have done it without him. Thanks so much Colm!

Fantastic experience: I chose Colm because he instantly put me at ease behind the wheel. He is a very patient and skilled instructor. He understands your individual needs and has a calm and clear approach that gives you the opportunity to build up your own confidence behind the wheel whilst learning to be a very good driver. I would have never passed my test if it were not for Colms expertise and knowledge. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Colm was an absolutely imperative part of my successful driving test result today. Having failed the first time (around after taking a significant amount of external lessons), I reached out to Colm and did a 2 hour pre-test with him two days before my exam. He has a calm, collected manner and a bespoke way of tailoring solutions to suit the individual’s style of learning. Colm instilled a confidence in me with his tips and tricks that not only helped me pass with flying colours in Raheny today, but I am certain that I will use in my driving skills going forward. I could not recommend him more highly. There is a reason he has the consistently good ratings that he does. I was far more composed this time around going into my test and confident in my competency and ability having practiced with Colm and taking all of his advice onboard. I only wish I could give more than 5 stars. I am certain that Colm is the best driving coach in the whole of Dublin. Thank you again, Colm! I will be eternally grateful for your help!

Fantastic experience: I chose Colm Branigan for some pre test lessons as I had been waiting a long time for my test after doing my ETD lessons and I had seen good reviews for him online. The reviews were spot on. He was extremely helpful and got me to think about my driving style in a more thoughtful way. He doesn't just tick the boxes that need to be ticked in a driving lesson, he actually gets you to understand what you should be doing for yourself, and why. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor of you have your test coming up.

Fantastic experience: I completed my 12 driving lessons with another instructor, but they missed important things. Before my driving test, I wanted to practice with someone good, so I looked for a well-reviewed instructor in Raheny. That's when I found Colm on Google. Because of the positive reviews, I contacted Colm and booked four practice tests. Colm is a great, super professional instructor. In my first lesson, I learned a lot about driving better. His teaching is not just helpful but also interesting. It feels like he wants you to be a part of the learning, making it easy to understand. Colm explains hard things in a simple way, making learning fun and rewarding. No doubt, I recommend Colm to others. He knows what he's doing, and his teaching makes sense. If you want to learn and enjoy it, Colm is the right choice. He's good at his job, and that's why I'd say to others, go for it! Thanks to him, I passed my driving test on the first try. Thanks, Neha

Fantastic experience: I chose Colm for my advanced driving training for his excellent communication and preparation for the advanced Driving test. I found Colm's coaching style to be very professional and he explained everything very clearly.

Fantastic experience: Colm played a massive role in me successfully passing my driving test! I came to Colm after failing my test and my confidence was very low. I was very nervous to go back to the test enviroment and Colm took the time to talk through all of my worries and build my confidence up. Throughout my pre-test lessons Colm focused in on problem areas and worked with me to improve them. Colm put the time and energy in to learn the best way to teach me and I am very grateful for all of his effort! Colm also responded very promptly and booking was always very easy. Thank you vey much Colm. I couldn't reccomend Colm enough! Best of luck with your learning and your test! Believing you can do it is really half the battle!

Fantastic experience: Colm was recommended to me by my driving instructor to help me through stages 2 and 3 of my Approved Driving Instructor qualifying process. He removed all the mystery and explained it in plain thought provoking language. I enjoyed each lesson and that made the learning easy. I passed each stage first time which saved me time and money. For any further training I may require I will be returning to Colm. I have no hesitation in recommending Colm for any level of driving tuition.

Fantastic experience: I did a pretest with Colm in the area around my test centre a few days prior to my test. Colm gave me really valuable advice that helped me be much better prepared for my test which I thankfully passed. His feedback was very insightful and practical, and was delivered in an understandable manner which really stood to me during my test and I know will stand to me beyond it. I would recommend anyone with a test coming up to have a pretest with Colm so that they can fine tune their driving and feel better prepared and more confident going into the real thing.
