Just passed my test today and couldn’t recommend Stephen Bowen enough. He was brilliant from start to finish-really patient, always explained things clearly, and took the time to go over anything I struggled with. He went out of his way to help and made every lesson feel relaxed. Super welcoming and easy to get on with. Great instructor!

I trained for the D license with ISM and passed on my second attempt, I would likely have passed first time, however I was a bit nervous on the day of the test. I had quality instruction from qualified and experienced instructors including Chris, Stylianos, Enoch, Joe, George and Victor (thank you) and excellent support from the admin team Lukas and Adam (thank you). ISM is a professionally run operation that prides itself on doing all it can to assist learners to pass there test, in my opinion. I also purchased some B licence lessons for my son, who has said he is enjoying his training also. I would highly recommend this company to anyone for instruction in any of the categories required for the license and vehicle they wish to acquire.

I had an excellent experience preparing for my driving test with Ms. Rofeda. She is highly professional, patient, and incredibly supportive, helping to build confidence behind the wheel from the very beginning. Her teaching style is clear and focused, making it easy to understand and improve with each lesson.

What really stood out was how accurately the lessons reflected the actual driving test. From the routes and manoeuvres to the finer details like observation and positioning, everything was covered thoroughly and matched what I experienced on test day.

Thanks to her guidance, I felt fully prepared and was able to pass my test on the first attempt in Jamestown. I would strongly recommend Ms. Rofeda and her driving school to anyone looking for high-quality, well-structured instruction.

I had a really positive experience with the Irish School of Motoring (ISM). From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. My instructor, Ioan Padureanu, was patient, knowledgeable, and explained everything in a clear, easy-to-understand way, which really helped build my confidence on the road.

Lessons were well-structured and tailored to my level, so I never felt overwhelmed. Ioan was always encouraging and gave practical tips that made a real difference in my driving.

The booking process was straightforward, and communication was always prompt and helpful. Thanks to ISM and Ioan Padureanu, I felt fully prepared for my test and developed safe driving habits that I’ll carry with me long-term. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and supportive driving instruction.

I took several lessons with Ms Rofeda to prepare for my test. She prepares you incredibly well for the driving test and knows exactly what examiners are looking for. I just passed my test in Raheny, and I couldn’t have done it without her. She is professional, very sweet, and really helps build your confidence behind the wheel. Highly recommended!

I had a great experience with the driving school from start to finish. The quality of the service was excellent, everything was well organised, punctual, and professional. Bogdan was patient, clear in their explanations, and always focused on helping me improve.

What was really impressive was how closely the lessons matched the actual driving test. The routes we practiced, the manoeuvres, and even the small details around observation and positioning were extremely accurate compared to what I encountered on the day of the test.

I went into the test feeling fully ready and I passed on my first attempt. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for thorough preparation and high-quality instruction.

I completed 12 EDT lessons with Ioan and would highly recommend him. He was extremely patient, supportive, and always helpful throughout. He’s very knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to driving and understanding the test requirements. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about his students and goes above and beyond to ensure they’re practicing the correct techniques, especially in the areas where their test is likely to take place.
