National Driving School Reviews 

Passed my driving test on the first try thanks to the National Driving School. My driving instructor, Andrew, was fantastic! Can't recommend them enough!

I previously failed my driving test in a manual, so I switched to automatic. As I didn’t have my own car, I hadn’t gotten enough practice and was unprepared for some of the obstacles that can come up. This time, I put in the hours driving my mam’s car, and the results showed!

A huge thank you to Clodagh for having so much confidence in me, which gave me confidence behind the wheel. Even if you have to sit your test a few times, NDS will identify your mistakes and prepare you to pass. I only received 3 Grade 2s, which shows how high their standard of driving is. They really prepare you to handle anything!

Fantastic one to one driving lessons, Thomas is a kind and professional instructor with copious amounts of experience, I would highly reccommend booking with him.

Chris saved me helped me pass first try I highly recommend

Passed my driving test first time yesterday, thanks to Diane. She is an excellent instructor and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Diane explains everything clearly and always remains calm and encouraging, even when you make mistakes. She creates a relaxed environment that takes the stress out of learning to drive.

She provides constructive feedback after every lesson with clear instructions on how to improve.

If you’re looking for an experienced driving instructor who is friendly, supportive and genuinely cares about her students’ success, Diane is the perfect choice.

Thank you for all your help and for giving me the confidence and skills to pass first time!

I passed my test in dun laoghaire with the assistance of Keith, he was a huge help in getting me test ready and making sure I had the correct level of attention to detail, I would recomend this to anyone looking to ace their test.

I was experienced driver with so many bad habits. It's probably harder to correct something you've been doing wrong or missing whole your life. Diane was really good in correcting them, reminding on every minor or major mistake, leaving no room for errors, which eventually made me pass my test in my first attempt.She is very kind and patient. Car is really smooth and functioning which is really important for first time learners and for the test in my opinion. So happy that i took lessons with her and waiting on my license to arrive now.

Really helped me come along down my edts and pretest with Suzanne and I got lasts minute availability with a car available I can’t thank Tom and Suzanne enough. Great instructors and great school passed in Carlow

I passed my driving test this week, and I couldn't have done it without Chris. He's a fantastic instructor—calm, patient, professional, and great at building confidence. Every lesson was focused and encouraging. If you're lucky enough to get a spot in Chris's busy schedule, you're in the best hands. Highly recommended!

My experience with Krzys was fantastic. He really helped me to achieve this goal. All the lesson we always really well explained and with patience. I will highly recommend taking driving lessons with Krzys.

Dima was my instructor, amazing friendly guy was patient and helped me get through the driving exam !!

This for Tomas, if you want the best instructor for manual test. Here is my story: i have almost 12 driving experiance in a diffrent country i used to have a lot or bad habits that i gained through out the years, after the EDT 6 with diffeent instructor, initially i was thinking i just need 1 or 2 hours until i was trained by Tomas, really cant thank this man enough, patience, clear instructions, will give you a very detailed feedback in every step of your way and will guile you in a very calm way.
I just passed my first test with no faults!!! Couldn't do it with you Tomas
Thank you Tomas will always remember your instrustions.

I had both Mick & Clodagh as instructors. Both were absolutely fantastic, they made me feel at ease & confident. I felt super prepared going into my test after doing a week of lessons with Clodagh, you can tell she genuinely cares about all of her students. And I passed on my first try!! Amazing experience

I pass my driving test today from thallagh. And this is my first attempt.The driving instructor help me alote to get more idea about the test and rule and regulation while driving in Ireland. Thank you so much za

Chris and Lukas are both top class instructors and absolutely lovely gentlemen. They both got me through my test first time with only 3 grade 2s. Could not recommend them enough. If I could give 6 stars I would.

Andrew was my instructor, he was brilliant. I never thought I'd be a good driver so I put it off for years...So my first lesson was very nerve racking. Andrew was such a calm and understanding person and I very quickly learned how to be confident in myself within the first few lessons. I'm writing this review after just passing my test, and I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Andrew he's a great teacher, who kept me motivated and trusted in me from day one! Thanks so much (from a girl who never thought she could do it!!) - jodie.

Highest standard of care and diligence during the entire exam preparation journey! I only had the time to do 1 lesson with Suzanne, but the class was not limited to simply the 1 hour. Suzanne went way overboard, ending the class overtime to make sure I was prepped, sending resources and preparatory tips and videos. Reminders the day before the exam, and even keeping an eye to make sure I'm not late!! The best balance of calm guidance and corrective support. Will definitely recommend Suzanne and the school again! Go raibh míle maith agaibh!

Suzanne in Carlow was a great help to me in preparation for my driving test. Very informative and knowledgeable regarding anything I asked. With her help I passed my test and would recommend her to anyone looking to get lessons.

I had Tom for my mock driving test and his attention to detail was on point. I struggled with my reverse around the corner and he gave me great pointers. I passed my driving test in one sitting.

Thanks Tom

Conor was my instructor from the NDS - incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and good craic to boot. Got my license on the second go and wouldn't have done it without him!

Very reasonable prices and flexibility with time. Have already recommended to several friends!
