National Driving School Reviews 

Passing my driving test wouldn’t have been possible without Michael Slattery(Mick) from National Driving School. From the very beginning, Mick was patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping me become a confident driver. He always stayed calm, explained things in a way that was easy to understand, and helped me work through areas I struggled with without ever making me feel under pressure. His encouragement and belief in me made such a difference, especially in the lead-up to my test. I’m so grateful for all his help and guidance, and passing feels like a huge achievement thanks to him. I would highly recommend Mick to anyone learning to drive!”

✅Best driving instructor in Dublin! Mick is an expert, very patient, and helped me pass my test with ease. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Highly recommend him to anyone looking to get their driver's license! 👍🏼

I had a great experience with National Driving School and passed my driving test with Fergal! He's an amazing instructor and knows exactly what's needed to pass the test. I highly recommend him!

I passed my driving test first time after doing my 12 lessons as well as a couple of pre tests with Conor O’Toole. He was very calm and patient as well as straightforward and clear. I picked up the basics quickly and he had me really confident for my test. Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor.

Getting lessons with Suzzanne has been absolutely amazing. She was so helpful and got me fully ready for my driving test in just three weeks(IKR), I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough.

She goes through everything so clearly and makes sure you feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel. It’s really great to see how much she genuinely cares about her students and their progress. Thank you so much, Suzzanne!

Couldn’t have passed without National Driving School. My Instructor Diane, made me feel more comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Highly recommend choosing National Driving School for your lessons.

I passed my manual car test today in Dun Laoghaire, thanks to Fergal O’Neill.
I had a rocky start with driving a few years ago with the wrong instructor and was turned off it.
I came back to it last year again with the wrong instructor.
My partner put me on to Fergal and over the last 8/9 months I regained my confidence driving as well as learned to love it. I went from dreading a lesson to being so excited to get in the car and drive. It was all thanks to Fergal’s excellent teaching style, patience of a saint and his ability to provide feedback that helped you develop rather than negative comments with no assistance.
Could not recommend him more!

I done two pre tests with Paulie and he was absolutely brilliant,very calm and understanding he made me feel comfortable too which helped a lot thanks paulie for helping me achieve my goal of becoming a full licensed driver. Really recommend him

Excellent driving instructor (lukasz Wnek) — very friendly, professional, and strict when needed. He always guided and supported me throughout the whole learning lessons, helping me to improve my driving skills and gain confidence behind the wheel. His advice and teaching were extremely helpful, and thanks to his support I was able to successfully get my driver’s license. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great instructor. He also speaks spanish 👏

Done a lesson and pre test with darragh and passed first time!learned a lot within the pre test and felt it really got me ready for my full test
Thanks a lot

I have a good experience with National Driving School. Clodagh and Lukasz are both excellent driving instructors. Professional and commendable.

I had Paul as my instructor. I did a pretest and a mock test. My test was in 2 weeks and he gave me tips in detail on the things I needed to improve; techniques on observation, positioning and things you wouldn’t think are important but are. Without his help I don’t think i would have passed with only 3 mistakes. I would 1000% recommend him to anyone. Forever grateful for all his help.

Mick is truly the right person for this process. His advice, methods, and teaching skills are excellent. He analyzes your mistakes very well and tailors the training to your personal needs. He is a great character and a great instructor, and thanks to him I passed my driving test on the first attempt.

A big thank you to the team and especially to Chris. He is a fantastic instructor — very supportive and encouraging throughout the lessons. He helped me build confidence behind the wheel and gave me exact information what I needed to pass my test, and I did it!

Highly recommend Chris and National Driving School to anyone learning to drive!

I had a mock test with Paul Kane the day before my test, and he helped me iron out some bad habits and bigger issues. His approach was great, made me feel at ease and confident going into the test, which I passed thanks to the issues that were resolved in the mock test. Would highly recommend to anyone for lessons and/or pretests!

Hey, guess what? I passed my driving test in Dún Laoghaire today! I really want to thank my instructor, Fergal, for all his amazing help. Those 12 EDT lessons and pre tests totally paid off. I'm super proud of myself and can't wait to start driving. I couldn't have done it without his patience and expertise. He truly cares about his students and always gives great feedback. Plus, he was always so flexible with scheduling.

Michael was my driving instructor he was very accommodating, professional, kind and calm at all times. I would highly recommended Michael to any one, he explains things with great detail and is very patient. Michael you are a gentleman I can’t thank you enough.
Regards,
Donna

I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. From the very first lesson, they were patient, professional, and incredibly supportive. They explained everything clearly and made sure I felt confident at every stage, which really helped calm my nerves.

What stood out most was their ability to adapt each lesson to my progress, focusing on areas where I needed improvement while still building my overall confidence on the road. They were always encouraging, even when I made mistakes, and turned those moments into valuable learning experiences.

Thanks to their guidance and structured approach, I felt fully prepared for my test—and I’m delighted to say I passed first time! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive driving instructor. Thanks Paulie!

I passed my driving test in first attempt with Paul Flemming, He is amazing and well dedicated.Thank you so much National driving school.

I can not recommend Thomas enough. As someone who struggled to get the confident to cross the line of the full test for YEARS I can whole heartedly say Thomas played the biggest role in my success, Patience, knowledgable and always at the end of the phone of any questions. I have tried a couple of instructors but not until I started my lessons with Thomas did it finally start to click!!Thomas taught me the tools to drive and enjoy it not just focus on the test, he took time on every lesson and gave insightful tools on how to get that pass! He is a gentleman and a credit to National Driving School, what an ambassor l, a great representive of them. If I could give 100000 stars I would. If you are looking for a driving instructor, I would recommend in a heartbeat!! Thank you Thomas and National Driving School for teaching me the skills I needed to confidently and success obtain my license.
