Fantastic experience with ISM Finglas Training Centre for my Counterbalance & Pallet Truck course. The entire team was excellent from the very start to the finish. A huge thank you to Mr. John Doran and the management for running such a seamless, professional, and welcoming training program. Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure to meet Ciaran Corcoran and passed my category B manual car driving test with his guidance. Ciaran is a great instructor, and he is always gentle, patient, and encouraging. He avoids being critical and always gives feedback in a constructive and positive way. Most of the people around me passed their test in an automatic car, and when I told Ciaran I was thinking about switching after failing multiple times, he encouraged me to stick with manual. He’s very knowledgeable and taught me a lot of advanced driving techniques, such as predicting when the blue bus lane becomes active and anticipating when traffic lights are about to turn green. These aren’t things you need to pass the driving test, but they’re valuable skills for safe driving throughout your life.

I can't recommend Ger Homan highly enough. Before my first lesson I'd never driven a truck, let alone an 18-tonne MAN rigid. Over just 10 hours of tuition, delivered in relaxed 2-hour sessions, Ger's calm, friendly approach and wealth of knowledge gave me the confidence and skills I needed to pass my Category C test first time.

Nothing ever felt rushed or stressful. Ger has a great way of explaining things, putting you at ease, and building your confidence lesson by lesson. ISM are very lucky to have an instructor of his calibre. Thanks, Ger!

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.
