Adeola was a lovely driving instructor. Would definitely recommend her to anyone. She put you at ease and made sure you were comfortable with all the manoeuvres .

My daughter prepaid & prebooked her 12 driving lessons about 5 weeks in advance. From day one the lesson time was changed and he still turned up late. Lesson two just the day before he cancelled the two hour lesson completely, when my daughter tried to Reschedule he could not accommodate her at all That week. I phoned him as I could not get a answer all morning from the office of the ISM. When he eventually phoned me I found him
Very rude, little English, only then told me he doesn’t do
Weekends/evenings and works only one or two days a week. I eventually got onto
The office where I was then told he’s the only instructor in the area, nobody else available and only solution offered was a refund minus €100 for the double lesson my daughter had. Now she is back trying to secure automatic lessons elsewhere but no
Joy. What a waste of her time and money especially from
The Irish school of motoring… so my advice is ask before u pay up in full do they do weekends/evenings, are their other drivers in the area plus is their English any good. Would not recommend ISM, go elsewhere maybe smaller and local Instructor.

This is the best driving school! William Lambe is the best instructor ever and I passed my driving test on first go. He is such a supportive person I highly recommend having such a positive attitude around during driving test. Thanks

I took 10 driving lessons with Adeola Omitunde through ISM, and it was a complete waste of money. Adeola was consistently late to lessons and would often finish early, cutting our time short. Halfway through the lesson, we would take an unnecessarily long break where she would spend time on her phone and fill out the EDT booklet, which I later learned was supposed to be completed at the end of the lesson. I felt my time and money were not being respected.

The content of the lessons was just as disappointing. We drove around the same area every week without any progression or introduction of new skills. It felt more like a casual drive for her as she laid back in the seat, than a structured learning experience for me. After completing 10 lessons, I attempted to contact Adeola for the remaining two lessons, but she ignored my messages for six months. Eventually, I reached out to ISM directly, and they reassigned me to a new instructor, Saad, who was professional, punctual, and actually willing to teach me the skills I needed. This however, still did not make up for the €545 that went down the drain. I now have had to pay for more lessons to make up for the 10 wasted due to the incompetence of a supposedly well-trusted company.
I regret accepting the lady as my driving instructor. I would NOT recommend her to anyone. Stay away from her!

Stephen Bowen is a horrible instructor, and a liar. Both him and his wife, Jennifer, will bleed your wallet dry and provide you with horrible lessons. Hardly anything was taught to me other than taking off and stopping, so I had to relearn things and learn new techniques with other instructors who also pointed out how terrible he was when I gave them descriptions on what we did. No reversing lessons, no information for what’s under the bonnet of a car, and overall horrible advice that even other instructors touched on; such as how to utilise the gear stick properly. He’d even be on his phone during lessons when I needed proper guidance. He never uploaded my last two lessons onto the record of learning either for a whole year. Had to get another instructor of mine to upload them for me. He and his wife claimed that I cancelled my last lesson (I didn’t) and said that I had to spend another €100 to book another lesson which I found ridiculous. You won’t find his ADI number on the list of approved instructors on the official RSA website either which is shady enough. Overall, just avoid Stephen Bowen from ISM.

Niamh was absolutely amazing throughout my entire experience, even after our official lessons finished Niamh was extremely helpful in making sure I was ready for my test, which thanks to her I passed first time. I cannot recommend both Niamh and ISM enough!

I recently passed my D1 test and cannot praise my instructors enough. From the first day to test day they were amazing. Especially Dave and Richie. Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. The best instructors you will ever get. Thanks to all in ISM. Couldn't have done it without you.

I done my Ecdl and pre tests with Niamh from ism.
From the get go she made me feel super comfortable and relaxed. I done my last pre test with her yesterday and just passed my driving test first time this morning. I can’t recommend Niamh enough. Learning to drive with her was a fun experience and I didn’t dread it all. 11/10

I passed my D1 category test today first time.I would like to extend my gratitude and respect to Dave O Carroll for his very professional and thorough lessons and patience with me without which I don't think I would have passed.Many thanks Dave and office staff.

I obtained my trailer license 1st time with RSA thanks to extensive training with Richard Whyte at ISM who is a great instructor. its more than just towing a trailer, it's the road rules, the hand signals and increased awareness the RSA will mark you on at test day Richard prepares you for.
Very professional and friendly.
thankyou Richard!

Had a slow experience from the start and changed instructor to Niamh, very helpful and great at explaining everything to you about what you’re doing right and wrong and makes you comfortable during the lesson. Will recommend her to everyone

Great experience with this company from point of booking to doing the actual lessons.

Staff on the phone were helpful, got everything booked for me quick and easy.

Had my lessons with Murray, who was a great instructor and also extremely flexible in organizing the lessons in terms of timing and location so it suited both of us.

Would highly recommend ISM to anyone wanting to learn, and Murray specifically who was a great teacher!

I had a great experience with Irish School of Motoring. The lessons were clear, fun, professional, and really helped build my confidence on the road. A special thanks to my instructor, Niamh, for her patience, kindness, and support through many silly mistakes. thanks to her I passed my driving test today in finglas

This is one of the best driving school in the republic of Ireland. I had a great and excellent experience with them to become a professional driver. Their instructors were good and they know the job perfectly. Many thanks to Dave M,Enouch,Joe,Declen,Abdul. I could remember my third days in ism when i met Enough to teach me that day, do you know my experience is not that much, i just heard him saying * kiss the white line, kiss the white line because my positioning on the road was very bad.That word steaks to my brain and is very understandable. In addition, those people in office were very friendly. They address you professionally, dignity and with respect. Infact! I am happy and i recommend the ism to everyone.

I had 5h bus lessons with Rishard white he’s a good instructor,just b prepared physically and mentally to handle the pressure,apart from from that he’s a good instructor he does he’s best to help you pass your test,and I passed big thanks to him for all the help he has done.

This is the best Irish motoring school…
This is the best Irish motoring school in the Republic. The time spent with the different instructors I learned a lot about how to become a professional driver and I noticed that there was kind of warm and positive treatment for all the trainees.
Each time I was on the road with: Enoch Oki, Martin, Dave, Abdi they were motivating and encouraging me to improve. I will recommend Enoch Oki and Abdi especially for their outstanding coaching and motivational skills.
Frankly the instructors deserve a lot.
Regards to all.

I had a great time driving with Enoch, he create a calm and supportive learning environment also gives a clear understanding of road rules and safety. The ism school have quality instructors but need to work on driving practice not taking more than two learners for driving also making sure a learner has a particular driver which will carry him throughout his duration of learning.
