Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Fergus enough! From the very first lesson, he was incredibly patient, thorough, and supportive. He never judged or harshly criticised and he took the time to explain everything in detail, making sure I felt confident and comfortable behind the wheel. His calm demeanor and clear instructions made all the difference, especially on the day of my test. Thanks to him, I passed on my first try with minimal mistakes! Fergus made sure I knew the different driving test routes and left nothing to chance which made me feel very confident during the test.

Christopher Yao 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test first time today! Super thanks to Fergus. Never had any driving experience before so Fergus taught me everything from scratch! Him being calm and friendly also helped me learning it so quick as there was no added pressure when doing lessons with him. I’d say his way of teaching is what a new driver with no experience needs - he will teach you all the driving techniques of a good driver as a life skill and not just for the sake of passing the test!! He also really knows what the tester would expect when doing the actual test so his tips and advises really helps! Would definitely recommend Fergus to anyone who wants to learn how to drive properly, confidently and safely! Thanks again Fergus!

Fantastic experience: Fergus is a brilliant driving instructor. I passed my test first time and it was all thanks to his knowledge of the road, guidance and the constant encouragement he gave me during the lessons. He provided a very relaxed environment which gave me much more confidence on the road and he always had an answer for the many questions I had. He has great knowledge of the test route in Tallaght. He gave me a pre test before my actual test and it was the exact same route I was taken on during the driving test. I would fully recommend Fergus if you are looking for a top quality driving instructor.

Carolina Melo 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Fergus for all help during this process. I passed first time today and that wouldn't be possible without his support and guidance. I've had lessons in the past that did not help and really ruined my confidence. Fergus was crucial in helping me gain that confidence again, he is a great professional and really tries to understand their pupils needs/profile to adapt his way of teaching that will work for you. Until last minute he believed in me and motivated me, which had 100% impact in my test result. If like me you are afraid of driving/lack confidence, Fergus is the instructor you need, he is calm, professional and very clear in the way he communicates. I can't recommend him enough. Once again Fergus, thank you so much.

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test today, on the first try and with only one mark and that is all thanks to Fergus at Lucan Driving Academy. Before driving with Fergus I had a very bad experience with a previous driving school and I was left with no confidence, to a point where I believed driving was not for me. Fergus absolutely changed my mind and gave me all my confidence back. He is extremely calm and he would always take time to stop and explain and most importantly make sure that you understand. He is very accommodating with time and very professional. I really could not recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: I think Fergus has a teaching technique that perfectly balances giving you enough information and letting you put it to use in practice. If you're nervous about driving, he's a great instructor. Very calm and put together. I did an entire 12 lessons with a different instructor and couldn't even drive. After only 5 months with Fergus I passed my test (considering the waiting lists and backlogs I think that's pretty fantastic). Would recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: Fergus is 100% the best driving instructor me and my husband have ever learnt from. He is very professional and patient. The way he taught us about how to handle the wheel, the MSPSL thinking process dramatically changed our overall driving experience which not only helped me passed my test but also help keeping a safe driving behaviour in the future. We will highly recommend him.

Thank you for everything Fergus!

Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend Fergus to anyone looking to pass their driving test.

Jen Gallagher 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had done my test a couple of times before meeting Fergus but always struggled with nerves. He completely transformed my driving and immediately identified the bad habits I had picked up over the years. He is an excellent communicator and everything he says is very logical. Great for visual learners too as he shows diagrams for each situation. I lacked confidence during my previous driving tests but he really built it up again and I passed the test! Wish I knew about Fergus sooner. Would recommend to any learner driver.

Fantastic experience: When I first started my driving lessons with Fergus I had moved from manual to automatic after doing my 12 EDT lessons elsewhere. I had no confidence whatsoever driving and was really a really nervous driver. Fergus was an excellent driving instructor, really patient and helped build my confidence massively whilst going right back to basics to improve my driving and further progress with my driving. I passed my driving test today in Tallaght test centre and cannot thank Fergus enough. I would highly recommend Lucan Driving Academy for lessons and pretests :)

I am very grateful to my driving instructor Fergas!After a long search for a new instructor, I am very grateful to Fergas that he became my, so to speak, a novice instructor.

With this teacher I feel 100%! Fergus treats his students seriously and with high quality. He is very punctual, professional, patient and with a good sense of humorhe.

Gernevie George 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had just moved from the Caribbean to Ireland and I needed to get my Irish driving licence, so after loads of searches and going through pages of reviews I found Fergus. On the 27th of February I started my driving lessons with Fergus. Coming from the small Caribbean island of Tobago with a population of only 63,000 people, it was no doubt that learning to drive in Ireland would be a task. But Fergus was precise, patient and professional. Six months after I passed my Irish driving test on the first try and given that they are extremely strict, that's really impressive! I highly recommend Fergus.

Suzanne O'Connor 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I booked pretest lessons with Fergus a week before my test, I had so many bad habits i never imagined getting through the test but after the first pretest I felt alot more confident. Fergus is so professional and patient, if you are nervous or worried about your test Fergus is definitely the instructor for you , I passed my test all thanks to Fergus and I 100% recommend him

Adam Byrne 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Myself and my wife arrived back in Ireland last year and the first person we called for driving lessons was Fergus due to the great reviews that we noticed on Google. I'm pleased to say that the reviews were spot on because Fergus is such a good instructor that I passed my driving test last Wednesday at the first attempt! Although I have been driving for many years overseas and hold foreign licences, I still had to take a shortened course of driving lessons here and do the test because the foreign licences I hold are not exchangable for an Irish licence - something which I feel is very unfair. Nevertheless, having been driving for so long I have picked up some bad habits which Fergus was very quick to spot and to rectify with his expert tuition, in order to give me the best possible chance of passing the test as a safe driver. Fergus is extremely professional in his approach to his clients - he is very punctual (comes early most times!) and he knows the theory and practice of driving inside out. He is also very patient and polite (a gentleman) which ensures that that any stress associated with driving around the busy roads of Dublin twice a week is reduced to a minimum. He can adapt his teaching to all possible levels - as mentioned I have a lot of experience but my wife is almost a beginner and Fergus can immediately switch his methods from one type of learner driver to another. Here's hoping that my wife also passes her test first time in a couple of weeks - if she does it will all be down to Fergus. I highly recommend Fergus and Lucan Driving Academy to all learner drivers, no matter what level they are currently at in the learning process. Thanks again Mr. Kennedy!

Denisa Larisa 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Fergus when choosing a driving instructor. His approach is very professional, friendly, and calm. I would not have passed my test without his help. Thank you Fergus.

Zoë S. 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Even though I only had done one pre-test with Fergus - I honestly could not recommend him enough to anyone who may need assistance with their driving test or just general driving. This man is not only a knowledgeable, fantastic & patient teacher but also has a soul of gold. I am in general a nervous person when it comes to being tested on absolutely anything at all. So, I had a bitta rocky start on the pre-test & he instantly picked up on my nerves & straight away humanised with me to calm me down which I truly appreciated. He breaks down everything in a way that makes it easy to comprehend & get your own head into the zone. My actual test was booked for the next day & it was my third time trying. I was sure I was doomed to fail after becoming so disheartened from my other attempts. Fergus realised I had been with various different instructors & understood why I felt like I was in sucha pickle. So, were it not for him showing me the best & most useful tips on that pre-test, I would not have passed the official test the next day. This instructor was seriously a blessing to me. Thank you millions & trillions again Fergus!

Fantastic experience: Fergus can't thank you enough for teaching me how to drive. Just passed my driving test today very happy. Fergus it's the best you can get as an instructor.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Fergus and Lucan Driving Academy if you are looking for an experienced and extremely knowledgeable instructor. In as few as two lessons before my test, Fergus taught me a wide range of techniques I had never heard of before. I successfully passed my test with few faults, and that is all thanks to Fergus. He helped me to change my old flawed driving technique extremely quickly. If you're taking a test, I suggest taking lessons with Fergus to ensure you're fully prepared. Thanks again Fergus

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend highly enough! I went from having no driving experience to passing my test in the first attempt all thanks to Fergus. God knows I tested his patience a few times but he is the calmest and nicest person. Doing lessons with him didn't feel like a chore at all and i never found it stressful. He keeps the atmosphere very light and friendly. He is absolutely brilliant! I am the latest member of his fan club!

Fantastic experience: Fergus has changed my life. I have driven for over 4 years with different instructors & continuously failing my tests. A Big deal was my nerves getting in the way. I could feel a difference in my driving and confidence by the second lesson. Little tweaks here and there and I drove calmer whereas before I would always be tense behind the wheel. His patience and way of teaching is brilliant- there is no issue/problem he couldn’t fix. Times when I felt like giving up, he didn’t. Thanks again Fergus, I couldn’t have done it without you, you’re one of a kind!

Fantastic experience: After a few failed tests a friend recommended Fergus, straight away I knew he was the instructor for me, my driving and confidence massively improved after just one lesson, I then went on to pass my test today with very little marks, I couldn’t recommend Fergus enough he’s a real driving guru he is so professional and helps you with understanding exactly where you are going wrong, he helps you work on any of your flawed driving, I no longer feel nervous or unsure of anything on the road

Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test the second time round with Fergus. When I failed the first time I thought that I couldn't improve any further but Fergus pointed out gaps in my skills that I didn't know existed. He was very clear and made sure I understood what was expected of me by breaking things down in an easy to follow format. Would highly recommend for any automatic or manual learner.

Fantastic experience: I passed my test after a number of training sessions with Fergus. I strongly recommend Fergus to everyone as he is a great instructor, and has got great teaching skills. Fergus not only helps you pass the test but he also improves your driving skills even if you have been driving in another country for many years. Fergus is very patient and always gives the best advice. He basically engraves great driving habits and skills in your head.

Every step is broken down and analysed professionally. I will highly recommend to anyone I know doing their test.

Fantastic experience: Fergus was an amazing teacher, going into depth for what is essential for your driving test and teaching methods on how to master these skills. He's extremely friendly and is easy to have a conversation with. Couldn't recommend him anymore.
