Irish School of Motoring - ISM Avis 

I had a really good experience with my driving lessons and pretest overall. My instructor Saad has been patient, calm, and really easy to learn from. Saad always explain things clearly and never made me feel pressured or stressed which helped me past my test, I’d definitely recommend them!

Got my 12 lessons here from Saad. He was always very patient and explained everything very well giving me more confidence on the road. Never felt like I couldn’t ask him a question and he helped me pass my test first time! Couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you Saad !!

Saad was my instructor and he was amazing! So patient and told me exactly how I needed to improve. I got a great result in my test and I couldn’t have done it without Saad

I did my lessons with Sarah and she was brilliant. So patient and so kind always. I enjoyed every single lesson with her and I couldn't recommend her more!!

Saeed was very helpfull and a calm through out my lessons.kudos to him.I

Huge thanks to [Instructors Saad] I have passed my driving test on 19th of November. He is such a patient, helpful, and friendly instructor. He made driving easy to understand and always encouraged me. I’m really grateful for all the support. Highly recommend.

Good school, easy to book and get an instructor. I had Saad as my instructor and he has taken me from a very bad and anxious driving to me passing my test.
I’m so grateful for his patience and the way he explained everything. I genuinely couldn’t recommend him enough. He’s calm, knowledgeable, and by far ISM’s biggest asset.

Passed my bus and cpc today and it’s all thanks to ISM Finglas and their great instructors and staff. Declan was brilliant and I definitely learned an awful lot from him. He’s firm but very fair and very knowledgeable. Couldn’t have done it without him. Adam in the office is also great, very accommodating and very professional. Thanks a million all at ISM Finglas.

Very bad driving school are rude and they believe they are actually testers i spent a grand and still didnt pass. Also they stole 3 grand off me. Dont go to them owner is a ignorant person too. Airport driving are the best.

Just passed my test and it’s all due to Niamh! So patient and kind! I couldn’t recommend her enough and ISM.

I was looking to book a pre-test only two weeks before my test and they were very helpful assigning me a date. They also provided a car for the date of my test. Thank you to my instructor Niamh who helped me pass my test first time! Very kind and pleasant experience overall.

have successfully passed my bus driver license test on September last week. I want to thank you my instructors Joe and stylianos. They are really amazing. Tank of knowledge and Great teaching skills. Always ready to answers any doubts. I was blessed to have these instructors in my training sessions. I want to thank you ISM also for providing these instructors .
Kind Regards,

I was so nervous about taking my driving test and had put it off several times. From the very first phone call, everyone at ISM was so supportive and encouraging about the process, and willing to work around my busy schedule.

My driving instructor was Adeola. Her kind and relaxed demeanor, as well as all her little tips, gave me so much confidence and I passed first time! I could not recommend ISM more, thank you for everything.

I booked some lessons with ISM as some friends recommended me this school but I had the worst experience. One thing after the other with them. The school takes not accountability of the lack of commitment of the instructor so you're on your own. There's no follow up and customer satisfaction review. My instructor was Bogdan and he's so rude and unprofessional. All the time shouting at you as he doesn't understand you're just learning. He doesn't schedule his clases and is always improvising. You have to make yourself 100% available for him. You have to work around him not the other way around. He will collect you and never drive you back even tho that's the service. You won't be ready for your test and he will make sure of it to push your trest further and make you book more classes around his schedule. And the lessons last for 1.30 or less even though you paid 100€ for 2 hrs. The school should take responsibility of its instructors actions and not only take your money. I know it's hard to find a driving school but better look for more options and plan in advance.

I am just writing you and email as I have successfully passed my bus licence today

I just want to say a big thank you to Laszlo for being the most amazing instructor he went above and beyond for me in every lesson I learned a significant amount of skills and made me feel very very comfortable throughout the entire time even when I was scheduled with another on my final week he was stil there to help and answer any questions I had , you’ve got an amazing employee and thank you for everything and all the help got me through the test if you can please pass on a message to thank him for all he’s done for me.

Kindest regards

I have been taking lesson's with Irish school of motoring,10 in total over the past few months. And I have to say how the experience was absolutely perfect. From the office staff in ISM who are so pleasant and welcoming and helpful. To the driving experience my instructor Dave O' Carroll who made me so relaxed. I was nervous on my first lesson as most are but I was made feel so comfortable out in the truck. Highly recommend ISM to anyone looking to attain their C or CE licence. A fantastic team of people and the knowledge experience and expertise of the instructor gave me the confidence to pass my C licence first time. Credit to you all.

Worst driving school in Dublin - stay away from them. One of the instructors who was responsible for teaching me how to drive was often very rude towards me just because I couldn't understand his unclear directions. One day, we almost got hit by a car when he grabbed the steering wheel from my hands and turned without checking the mirrors. He had told me to stay in the middle lane, which I did, but then said I was supposed to turn left. He was on his phone, not paying attention to what was happening.

I called customer service to reschedule lessons with another instructor, but they never sent emails or text messages confirming they were on their way to pick me up. As I live far from the collection point, I finished work without any confirmation and left. For the remaining lessons, customer service made an appointment for 6 PM. I replied to their email saying I couldn't wait at my workplace for 2 hours to get the lesson and asked if they could change it to 4 PM or schedule another day. Customer service never changed the appointment or sent an updated schedule to their instructor. At 6 PM, the instructor called me, surprised that I wasn't there.

In my last lesson, I waited for 30 minutes, and again, the instructor never showed up. Once again, I tried to call customer service and explained the whole situation. They asked for a day to sort it out with their management. I gave them a week and a half, and today I called again, still waiting for something that might not even happen. I've wasted my time and lost my money due to incompetent people who aren't able to do their job properly. Furthermore, I'll be consulting with a lawyer about this matter.

Just passed my test first time today! Absolutely delighted!! Did lessons with Niamh and she helped me so much, made me feel so comfortable and so confident! Was there for me on the day which helped calm my nerves. Will be recommending her to everyone who asks me! Couldn’t have done it without her!

I’ve just finished my 12 lessons with one of the instructors Adeola she was the nicest instructor I could have gotten and made me feel very comfortable in driving and was very patient with me. Adeola was very in depth in everything that I needed to know with the safety of driving. She was very calm and knew exactly what I needed to improve on and helped me fix them straight away. I’m very confident now in driving and am very grateful to have gotten a great instructor thank you Adeola.

The instructor was not able to teach. He had an aggressive attitude and his style was to boss around rather than trust the student. If I had followed his bossy orders we would have had an accident or at least a near miss. I am referring to an actual incident. His style was nice and then nasty and back to nice and then nasty. On and on. He did not create a constructive learning experience.
It was a waste of money. Avoid. Avoid Avoid.
