Leinster Driving Campus: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Campus is perfect for just starting out, great level of instructors as well, 100% recommend
Thank you Oliver. Congratulations on passing your driving test today.
Fantastic experience: I did my 12 EDT with Pioter ,and I'm thrilled to share that I passed my driving exam on the first attempt. Pioter was an exceptional driving tutor. His patience, encouragement, and insightful tips made a significant difference in my learning experience.
Thank you Solmaz. Congratulations on passing your driving test. We are proud you, Piotr and all our team of excellent driving instructors.
Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time thanks to extremely helpful pre tests from Martina and Padraic and essential driver training from Brian. Thanks for everything
Great result Luke, congratulations. Best of luck
Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test first try today!! All thanks to my brilliant teacher Robert, who taught me on how to succeed with the three major manoeuvres, additionally he was so encouraging and supportive, he made me feel super comfortable and helped with building my confidence. I had Rob for some pre tests in Naas (test centre that I passed in), he showed me the common routes and gave me tips and tricks in order to succeed. Additionally, I did my final pre test with Padraic who was so so lovely, very encouraging and gave me tips and tricks for the Naas test route. If you’re looking to pass your test first time, Leinster Driving school is definitely for you!! Thanks so much guys!!
Congratulations Ava, that's a super achievement! Well done and safe driving.
Fantastic experience: Thank you to everyone for helping me pass my test. A great, professional service.
Congratulations Vincent. Great job, safe driving.
Fantastic experience: Did all 12 of my EDT lessons with Leinster Driving Campus and would absolutely recommend them to anybody. I was very nervous about driving before starting my first lesson, and had been putting it off for a long long time, but those nerves quickly melted away. The instructors I had, Rob and Piotr, were fantastic -- calm, friendly, full of tips, knowledge and helpful feedback. The campus itself is a great place to get started at your own pace in a controlled environment. Passed my test on the first try in Naas and feeling so much more confident behind the wheel thanks to everyone at LDC :)
Congratulations Ian, that's a super way to start 2024. Thank you for your kind words, we are very very proud of our team of driving instructors. I will pass on your thanks to Piotr and Rob.
Fantastic experience: My mum discovered arthritis in her left/clutch leg and so needed to have familiarisation and confidence lessons to move to an automatic car. She was really stressed about but LDC were just brilliant. Such a professional set up - the instructor gave her such confidence; she has since bought an automatic and hasn't looked back.
That's brilliant news Maeve, we're all delighted for her and I'm sure you're very proud of her. Pass on our best wishes.
Fantastic experience: Definitely would recommend the intensive driving lessons to anyone. All instructors were so helpful and calm.
Thank you Erica, we are delighted you enjoyed your time with us. Best of luck with your driving test.
Fantastic experience: Great driving school. I did a 3-day intensive driving course recently and was very impressed. My instructors Martina and Heather were brilliant. They were kind, patient and had great knowledge on driving and gave nice tips on the test process. Having the driving track on site was really helpful to learn the basics and build confidence, before going out on the road. I had a problem during my course and the staff there dealt with it extremely professionally and promptly. Couldn't recommend them enough!
Thank you Naoise, we're delighted you feel you've improved your driving skills with us. Best of luck with your driving test.
Fantastic experience: I did all my EDT with Leinster. I was nervous to start driving but the campus made this process way easier, as i could not imagine having to start on the road. It had so many different road situations (eg roundabout), but without the pressure of other cars. Brian McHale, Piotr, and Alan were absolutely brilliant instructors, they really increased my confidence in driving and answered all the questions and concerns i had. I had the other Brian for all my later lessons, and he was always so incredibly helpful, encouraging, and great at drawing attention to faults (in the nicest way) and showing me how to correct them. As well as being an unreal instructor, he was also such a lovely person who greatly enhanced my confidence in driving. Thank you so much to Brian, Brian, Alan, Piotr and all the team at Leinster for helping me pass my test. I couldnt recommend them enough.
Thank you for the feedback Roisin. We've a fantastic team of instructors, trained in-house, that we are extremely proud of.
Fantastic experience: I recently moved to Kildare and picked up my lessons with Leinster Driving Campus. Rob brought me out for my lessons/ pre tests and made me feel completely at ease on the road and helped me get familiar with the town my test was in. He gave me great pointers that helped me to increase my skills which in turn helped me to pass my test. I would highly recommend doing your lessons here.
Congratulations Helen, yourself and Rob made a winning team. Best of luck in the future.
Fantastic experience: I recently did a 2 hour lesson with Alan, to help me gain some more confidence and focus on some aspects that I was struggling with, after completing my 12 lessons with a different driving school. I learned so much in those 2 hours, it has really benefited me. Alan is an excellent instructor, he explains things perfectly! Highly recommend
Thank you Rebecca, we're very proud of our team of instructors.
Fantastic experience: Passed my test on my first attempt today - a credit to completing my 12 lessons and a pretest with Leinster driving campus
Thank you Roisin, congratulations on your driving test.
Fantastic experience: I received driving lessons from Martina who is absolutely amazing. She is a wonderful driving instructor with amazing tips and tricks, she is the reason I passed my driving test on first exam.. Thank you Martina! I couldn’t recommend her more.
Thank you Adis, congratulations on passing your driving test. You are correct, Martina is absolutely amazing ❤️
Fantastic experience: My nearly 17 year old just had her first driving experience and absolutely loved it. it's a wonderful way to get rid of the nerves before the driving lessons. thank you she really enjoyed it.
Thank you Siobhan, the Campus is ideal for getting familiar with your car controls before progressing onto the public roads as a more relaxed and competent driver.
Fantastic experience: I recently took driving lessons with Leinster Driving School and I am extremely happy with my experience. The instructor was professional, patient, and very knowledgeable. He made me feel at ease and comfortable behind the wheel, even though I was initially nervous about driving. The lessons were structured and tailored to my specific needs, which allowed me to progress at my own pace. The instructor provided clear and concise feedback after each lesson, which helped me to understand my strengths and weaknesses and how to improve. Which helped me to pass my test first time! Overall, I highly recommend leinster Driving School for anyone looking to learn how to drive. The quality of instruction is exceptional, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. Thank you for a great experience!
Thank you Andrew, we're delighted you enjoyed your time with us
Fantastic experience: Couldn't rate this place high enough. The instructors are calm, kind and super encouraging. I went in quite nervous and left feeling really confident. Would definitely recommend
Thank you Fiona, we're delighted you enjoyed your 2 day intensive driving course. You made great progress over the 2 days, now get as much practice as you can
Fantastic experience: Dedicated staff, very accommodating. Big thanks to Piotr who brought my driving to another level.
Congratulations on passing your driving test Kevin, an outstanding result!!
Fantastic experience: Did my IBT for an A2 through Leinster DC and never met a nicer group of guys. Patient, (even though we kept looking down while on a motorbike) kind and every word was backed up with years of experience. I can't wait to do my A category in the future with the same people!
Thank you Tristan, we're delighted you enjoyed your course
Positive experience: Instructors and facility is great, but will I send child number 2 here when it's their turn? Unfortunately not. The booking system is so antiquated - you have to email in requesting a slot and wait for a response. Seriously, it was easier in the 1990s when you just booked in with the instructor when you finished your lesson! But you aren't allowed do that, even though you end the lesson at the office. And they only operate during the day, no evening lessons available. Instead of being able to do an hours lesson a week for 12 weeks, it has taken 7 months to get the lessons completed. Extremely frustrating for what is otherwise an excellent school.
Thank you for your feedback Rachel. We understand your frustration at not being able to complete 12 lessons over 12 consecutive weeks but this is very difficult to attain from any driving school due to the large volume of customers looking for driving lessons following successive Covid lockdowns. There simply are not enough driving instructors in the country to keep up with the demand. After consulting with our driving instructors we've made the company decision to operate our operational hours in accordance with our Work-Life Balance plan, it's what works best for us. We are of course aware it doesn't suit many potential customers, but at the same time it does suit many others. With regards to our online booking system, we're actually delighted with how it works. Our online system allows greater traceability for our customers, no more arriving for lessons at the wrong time or in some cases arriving on the wrong day! We simply couldn't keep up with the phone calls, the phone never stopped ringing. We'll be staying with our online system for the foreseeable future We always try to see the positives, the important thing is you were happy with our driving instructors and you were happy with our facilities.
Fantastic experience: I did a 2 hour standalone session with Heather and she was absolutely fantastic. She explained everything really well and made me feel very comfortable driving a car for the first time. And now I'm sad that I can't do all my EDT lessons with her as well as I live too far away. Highly recommend them
Thank you Isabella, Heather is great ❤️
Negative experience: I’d like to start of by saying that it hurts me to write this review but I am really disappointed with my experience here, I’ve had 4 lessons here with Brian who was just a true gent and made me feel very excited about getting on the road. I’m only available Saturdays due to living in Carlow for college which turned out to be an issue as they couldn’t give me Saturday appointments in March when I was booking in January. Will now have to find a new instructor and company to finish these lessons which is hard enough during the pandemic.
Hi Alex, Unfortunately after successive lockdowns we're under extreme pressure to work through a large backlog of clients all looking for the same times and dates, namely Saturdays. During the school term our weekends will fill well in advance, add the current backlog and the result is that this issue is greatly accentuated. Most customers are very patient and understanding but we accept that we cannot keep everyone happy. We are pleased you did enjoy the 4 hours of tuition you did have with us, this is what we value most.
Fantastic experience: If you want to do a driving lessons , it's only here, no matter how old you are or when you start !! Very nice and professional instructors, absolutely patient and friendly. After lesson in this school, you will be so confident and powerfull.
Thank you Adrianna, and congratulations again on passing your driving test.
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend highly enough. I had a bad experience with one of the large franchise chains which knocked my confidence but my lessons here could not be more different, excellent instruction and facility (and if I can learn anyone can).
Thank you Marion, if you need anything please give us a call.
Fantastic experience: Everything you need for learning how to drive very friendly and helpful staff. Des is my instructor and couldn't be better!
Thank you Tyler, we're delighted you enjoyed your lessons with us.
Fantastic experience: My daughter has a smile on her face every day since she learned to drive here she is fifteen and they have an off-road school
Thank you Declan, can't beat a happy smile. Our off road campus was designed to allow drivers get a feel for their car before progressing their driving lessons on the public roads.
Fantastic experience: This is an excellent driving campus for learner drivers, unique insofar as it is "off road" in a private facility, ensuring 100% safety for all learner drivers, at all levels. My daughter's confidence in driving excelled after 10 minutes into her first driving lesson at Leinster Driving Campus!
Thank you Ciaran, we're delighted to have helped. Understanding your vehicle is so important and this then leads to confidence which makes the learning experience so much easier.
Fantastic experience: Thanks Joe for a great double lesson today. Hope your nerves are still in tact! Super facility and fab staff
Thank you Helen, Joe is doing just fine :-)
Fantastic experience: I was super anxious about learning to drive and hitting something or someone taking my first lesson on a real road - the Leinster driving campus was great that way. My instructor Michael was so incredibly patient, friendly and funny, thank you!
Thank you for the feedback Zara, we delighted you enjoyed yourself.
Negative experience: We have used Leinster Driving Campus several times in the past and found them quite professional in all aspects of our dealings however, today, we were ready to leave for a lesson with our son (He had a voucher for L.D.C.) and unfortunately we had car trouble & our car failed to start - My son called straight away to reschedule to an alternative time/date, explaining our predicament and was told that the voucher won't be honoured and the rescheduled lesson will be chargeable. I'm still shocked by their attitude!! Beware!!!!
Hi Ron, We got a call from you 15 minutes prior to the driving lesson stating you were unable to attend due to car difficulties. We even offered to come and pick you up at your destination which you refused. This was during the midterm break which is one of the busiest times of the year for us. All our instructors were fully booked for the week and we were having to turn away business. Your driving instructor had given his time for you. If you'd given us more notice (we request 48 hours when possible) we could have resold your lesson to someone on our cancellation list. The voucher in question was a complimentary FREE voucher given during a Transition Year driving course. However the most disappointing thing was the disrespectful and aggressive way you treated our staff.
Fantastic experience: I was very nervous when I started to drive and taking these few first lessons on campus really helped me out. My driving instructor - Michael - was very calm and patient, made me feel very comfortable when driving a car. Passed my driving test on a first try. Couldn't recommend more!
Thank you for the feedback Monika, we are delighted you enjoyed your time with us.
Fantastic experience: Great place to learn to drive!! All staff are so friendly in there!!
Thanks Louise, we do our best!!
Negative experience: Bad service with dishonest instructors. Total joke. Dont believe in giving refunds.
Hi Alva, we've no record of you having used our services. When did you visit us and why did you require a refund?
Fantastic experience: I completed my 12 lessons with Leinster Driving Campus and followed up with some pre-tests along with using their car for my test. Both of my instructors were friendly, extremely helpful and were sure to let me know of any of my faults and how to improve. The campus is smaller than you'd think but it's still very practical and is especially useful to allow someone to get comfortable driving a car in the first few lessons. Highly recommended.
Thank you David
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience. I'm under 17 and the instructor was very nice, helpful and most importantly patient. Impressed with the new cars, I was given a nearly brand new i20 for my first lesson! Don't remember the name of my instructor but thank you! I'll try to come back here for my EDT even tho I live in Dublin
Thank you, we are delighted you had a great time.
Positive experience: Okay, smaller than it looks in the photos. Most of the instructors can't wait to get you off the campus and onto the roads asap, kind of defeats the purpose of the off-road environment - learning the basics in a quiet safe place. Maybe the instructors are sick of the place i don't know. If you live near bye it's a good place to learn but i wouldn't travel far to get here for basic lessons.
