Irish School of Motoring - ISM Recenzje 232

I did my lessons with Niamh Brady in Finglas and I can’t praise her enough. She has the perfect temperament to keep you calm and relaxed and she knows how to gently push you to build on your last lesson. Before my test I booked a few pretests with her and she really helped me over the line, making me more confident and pointing out some final things to be aware of. 6 months after my first lesson and I passed my test first time. Thanks again to Niamh, she’s a superstar!

My instructor Saad Ahmed has helped me immensely ever since I started doing my lessons with him. To say that he is a good instructor would be an understatement as I noticed a massive difference when I switched from my old instructor to Saad.

His calm and patient demeanour has helped me to stay relaxed while driving which is a big positive for me because usually I’m quite an anxious driver. After each pretest he pointed out my mistakes and my mistakes kept reducing after each lesson. My favourite trait about Saad was how simply he explained things to me. This made me believe that passing the driving test was actually easy and thankfully I passed on the first attempt thanks to Saad’s help. Could not recommend him more!!!!!!

Great service with very patient and helpful instructors. Especially, Saad who was able to help me prepare and improve in areas which I lacked. I highly recommend

Sarah is an amazing instructor, for someone who is such a nervous driver she put me at ease. She had so much patience with me and explained everything perfectly. I feel like I have progressed so much because of her. Would 100% recommend to everyone to book with Sarah for your lessons!

Booked 12 lessons weeks ago fully paid up front. Due to start in 2 days and today I get a call from my instructor (first time hearing from them) to ask when I sat my theory, and that I can't apply for a full license until 6months after and used this as justification for cancelling my lessons. I asked what reason and he claimed he needed to lend the car to someone to complete their driving test. I don't see how this is relevant to my lessons and it's clear that this lad is unprofessional and doesn't care about his reputation. I have already reached out to ISM to report this and will be requesting a full refund and taking my business elsewhere. Absolutely horrific service.

The instructor, Saad, was very friendly and helped me correct my mistakes while improving my overall driving skills. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my driving test.

I completed 12 EDT lessons with Ioan and would highly recommend him. He was extremely patient, supportive, and always helpful throughout. He’s very knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to driving and understanding the test requirements. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about his students and goes above and beyond to ensure they’re practicing the correct techniques, especially in the areas where their test is likely to take place.

I recently had the pleasure of taking driving lessons with Saad, and I honestly cannot recommend him highly enough. Even though I only had lessons with him for two days, with the second day being when I hired his car for my full driving test, the experience was excellent from start to finish.

From the very first lesson, Saad was incredibly kind, professional, and patient. Learning to drive, especially so close to a test, can be very nerve racking, but he immediately created a calm and supportive environment. He explained everything clearly and made sure I fully understood what was expected of me. He never made me feel rushed or pressured, and no question ever felt too small to ask.

What stood out to me the most was how well he managed my nerves. As the test approached, my anxiety was quite high, but Saad stayed calm, reassuring, and positive throughout. His steady guidance and confidence in me really helped keep me focused. On the day of the test, he gave me the encouragement I needed, and it made such a difference.

Communication was also great from the beginning. He was always clear, responsive, and professional, and he provided feedback in a constructive and motivating way. In such a short amount of time, he helped me improve and feel much more confident in my driving.

I’m so happy to say that I passed my full driving test, and I truly believe his support and guidance made all the difference. Hiring his car for the test was also a smooth and stress-free process. The car was well-maintained and comfortable, which gave me extra confidence on the day.

Overall, Saad is a fantastic driving instructor. patient, professional, supportive, and genuinely invested in his students’ success. I’m very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and understanding instructor.

I done all of my driving lessons with Stephen Bowen he’s a great driving instructor very nice and was very clear with instructions which made me feel at ease passed my test first go today thanks to him.

I just want to say a massive thank you to my instructor Niamh Brady. She was wonderful and helped me so much. Thanks to her I passed my test 1st time and round and I don’t think I could have done it without her. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone doing lessons

Really easy to communicate with, always helpful and accommodating. I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with my instructor, Sarah who always explained everything clearly, and remained patient especially when I was nervous. Prior to my lessons I had zero driving confidence and now feel a lot more confident behind the wheel. I would really recommend Sarah as a driving instructor to anyone learning to drive!

I did all of my 12 lessons and pre tests with Saad and managed to succeed in passing my driving test on my first attempt. He was very patient and informative, he helped calm my nerves on the road and I would highly recommend him as a driving instructor.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to my instructor Niamh.. I passed my test first time, thanks to all of her help & support! She was so welcoming and made me feel so comfortable throughout my lessons and any questions I had was more than happy to help and go over with me until I was confident. She is truly a beam of light and I couldn’t recommend her enough 🙌🏼

Just got my BE licence today all thanks to Ger Homan ( instructor).
He is one very relaxed man and very patient.

Many thanks to Adeola my driving instructor who have guided and motivated me throughout my driving classes. Her instructions throughout the lessons was very simple and easy guide for understanding. I have passed my test.
Thanks to her.
Regards
Pinky

Had Adeola as my instructor in Tallaght. Passed first time. Great instructor and reasonable prices

I trained with ISM to become an Approved Driving Instructor. I trained with Dave Malone and he provided training to such a high standard which enabled me to pass all three stages the first time around. I would highly recommend ISM to anyone learning to drive or to become a Driving Instructor themselves.

I have completed my BE C D and CE driving training with ISM.

I started with my BE in 2022 with Ger and I must say he was an absolute gent, extremely patient and helpful, which helped me pass first time.

I moved on to my C licence in June 2025 which I also completed with Ger and again he was an absolute gent, so patient and helpful. He made sure I knew everything I needed to before the test, both theory and practical driving. Thanks to Ger I was so relaxed going into my test which I passed in August 2025.

In September 2025 I started my D lessons after just 3 lessons I passed my test first time. The gent I done my lessons with retired just after I completed my test which was a shame.

In October 2025 I started to do my CE lessons with Laszlo. Laszlo is an amazing instructor. He has so much patience and knowledge. He knows how to put you at ease during the lessons and build confidence. I done one CE lesson with David O Carroll who was an absolute gent to work with. He was another amazing instructor to drive with. He knows how to make you feel relaxed and confident behind the wheel, which is what helped me pass my artic test first time in January 2026.

All of the instructors I worked with were absolute gents. They have so much knowledge and patience. They make you feel so relaxed. It’s an amazing team of instructors and I would highly recommend working with them.

The only downside to dealing with ISM is it is clearly a business, all the company wants to do is make money which you can’t blame them but it can make you feel an unnecessary awkwardness. The instructors clearly care and do their jobs well but one instructor in particular was big into pushing for more lessons which I don’t think were needed. When I done my bus lessons during the first one everything I done was “perfect” but I still needed 2 more lessons which also went “perfect” with nothing needing to be fixed. I had just passed my rigid test so I was use to large vehicles and I was still in test mode. Those 2 extra lessons definitely weren’t needed but look I did enjoy them.

The call takers in the office were very helpful but they are definitely the biggest pushers to make as much money for the company as possible and it’s very obvious and definitely made me feel really uncomfortable when dealing with them. I had lost 30 minutes off of my 1 hour pre test for my artic test because the instructor wasn’t available before this time which was okay but I had to make an issue out of it to receive a €15 discount off of a €275 fee. This was after spending over €4000 getting all of my lessons in all the categories, it was clear I was just euro signs in their eyes. This is the only downside to ISM. The one thing I would recommend to combat this is purchase your lessons online and just call to book in using your purchased credits.

I did my lessons with Stephen Bowen , he was an excellent instructor and I passed with flying colours first time only after 7 months … would 1000% recommend going with him

I had 2 pre test lessons & 1 mock test with Saad. He helped me a lot and provided very constructive criticism that helped me pass first try. Can't recommend Saad enough.
