National Driving School Reviews 

I did some extra lessons and a pre test with Fergal and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! I have been driving for a while but had a bad experience with my last instructer so i was quite an anxious driver. Within minutes of my first lesson with Fergal I felt comfortable and for the first time confident within my abilities. No question was too silly, no error was too embarrassing. I could tell how much Fergal cared and believed in me, it was an amazing learning environment he created. Fergal made sure to let me know my strengths and what I was doing well as well as what I would do wrong which helped me keep my confidence up and not fall into any bad driving habits. I went on to pass my driving test today first time with only two slight faults! I truly recommend Fergal to anyone he is amazing at his job!

My instructor was very patient with me and Taught me anything I needed to know. I am forever grateful to him

I really appreciate Mike’s lessons, he has been very kind, enthusiastic on my lessons and is balanced on keeping the lesson fun and less stressful while also making sure I was aware of the mistakes I’ve made on the road. I also learned some Irish culture and heritage with Mike.

Although I failed my first test but the tester was surprised that was my first attempt, that explains the quality of Mike’s lesson.

Highly recommend Mike for whoever wants to take driving test on Tallaght, it is easier if you followed his advice.

I did a mock test with Chris a few days before my driving test and it was the best thing I ever did. He had so much insight into what the testers are looking for and really helped me fix so many small mistakes that other instructors had missed. He was so supportive and positive, he made the mock test feel so much less scary! After the test he sent me so many links to videos and theory notes that he had made which were also a massive help. Chris even texted me the morning of my test wishing me luck which was so lovely. Thanks so much Chris, I couldn’t have done it without you!

I highly recommend Barney Clarke as a driving instructor. He was always patient, calm, and super professional during every lesson. He explained everything clearly and helped me build confidence behind the wheel. He is giving all the tools to become an excellent driver. Thanks to his support and guidance, I felt well prepared for my driving test. I always felt comfortable asking questions, and he made every lesson enjoyable and stress-free. I’m very grateful for all his help and would definitely recommend him to anyone learning to drive.

Great school and even better instruction. Chris was my teacher and he was brilliant at identifying exactly what I needed to work on to pass the test. He is very knowledgeable and helped me build the confidence I needed for the big day. Thank you, Chris

Had a great experience learning from Thomas during my lessons. All lessons were tailored to suit my learning curve. Passed my driving test on my first try! Cannot thank him enough 🙏🏾

i had 2 instructors from national driving school. i had darragh for my 12 lessons and then dima for a few pre test lessons. two amazing teachers i passed my test first time. thanks lads

I did a pre-test lesson/mock test with Krzys, and it helped me so much in passing my test the first time! He took me around the Mulhuddart test centre, which was so helpful in familiarising myself with the area. He also gave me detailed advice on what areas I needed to improve and the things to keep in mind during my test. It helped a ton and I couldn’t be happier!

I did 2 pretest lessons with Dima from National Driving School. I would really recommend him, he was very kind and reassured me that I was a good driver and that I had a good chance of passing which helped boost my confidence. However, he still pointed out what I needed to work on (positioning) for which I then no marks on in my actual test! He was also very chatty and friendly which made me feel more comfortable! Thank you!

I recently completed my driving test successfully, and I would like to sincerely thank my instructor, Paul, for his excellent guidance and support.

His pretest driving session was incredibly helpful and well-structured. He clearly identified the areas I needed to improve and provided practical, easy-to-follow advice that made a real difference to my confidence and driving skills. His calm and professional approach helped me stay relaxed and focused throughout.

Thanks to his valuable inputs and encouragement, I felt fully prepared on the day of my test and was able to pass successfully. I highly recommend Paul to anyone preparing for their driving test.

Thank you again for your support!

I did my 6 EDT lessons with Jay Tallant and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! Even though I have driven in my home country for over a decade, I still needed to adapt to the Irish system and Jason was infinitely supportive and knowledgable! His presence was calm, encouraging and friendly. From day one until today when I passed my test in first attempt, Jay was exceptional and he paid attention to the smallest details which made everything go smoothly! I couldn’t recommend him enough’

I had my lessons with Michael Slattery and I passed!! I would have not passed without micks detailed lessons / his constant reminders on observations and redoing areas on where I found most. Challenging.
Micks approach is very calm and comforting - he is very flexible and understanding and his goal is to get you to pass and he will do that once you do the work with him!

Highly recommend Mick, he is patient, a really nice guy and a brilliant teacher. Thanks Mick Beep Beep!

Conor was extremely helpful in preparing me prepare for my driving test. He’s very patient and gave me all the material i needed. He has excellent advice and I passed my test first time thanks to him! Would definitely recommend Conor to anyone looking for pretest lessons.

I did my lessons and 2 pre-tests with Michael Slattery, absolutely nothing bad I can say about him and the driving school. Michael was patient and really worked with you to help you pass. As someone who had bad driving experiences previously it was very reassuring to have someone like Michael help you learn effectively. Passed no problem due to Michael's guidance 😄

Just passed my driving test and it is all thanks to Mick. Best driving instructor ever. It took me awhile to build up my confidence in the car but now with all Micks patience and expertise I thoroughly enjoy it 😊

Highly recommend Chris in Dun Laoghire for EDT driving lessons. He is an experienced driving instructor, really enjoyed every learning session.

I had Paul as my instructor, I did the EDT lessons and pre-tests with him. Thanks to him I passed my test today! He is a wonderful instructor, patient and always provided thorough and very helpful feedback after each lessons.
Thanks again Paul!

Lukasz has been teaching me to drive for months now and helping to prepare me for my driving test.
Today I passed first time and it is all thanks to his expertise. He is very patient and never gets annoyed no matter how many mistakes I have made. He is great at explaining and showing each manoeuvre. He is also fun to be around so you can be calm in the car with him. He is very supportive and helped me with my own car too.

I highly recommend Lukasz from National Driving School!!
