Two days ago I passed a driving test in Tallaght at first attempt. I had 3 pre-tests and a mock test with Elaine who is a star. She spots your every move without making a big deal out of it so you won't be intimidated while having lessons. She isn't my original instructor, but I'm glad I had to have pre-tests with her. Elaine is highly professional and will make sure you get ready of almost all your bad habits after the first hour. She will both get along with you and keep it professional so you won't forget that you're in the process of learning without making you nervous. She'll make sure to correct as much bad behavior as possible so when you are doing your practical test, even if you're nervous, you'll get as few marks as you could.

Today I’ve passed my first ever driving exam in TALLAGHT with my amazing instructor Łukasz! He is the most knowledgeable person I’ve ever met. He showed me that even a person with driving anxiety can pass the exam and feel confident behind the wheel. He is very patient and very helpful, answering even the most basic questions I had. Couldn’t recommend him enough! Thank you Łukasz!

I did a few lessons with Elaine and she was so helpful. I got my test date with short notice and Elaine made time for me to do a few lessons before it. If I hadn’t had her help I wouldn’t have passed first time. She was very patient and explained everything so I had no questions going into the test. She is a great instructor and I’m delighted to have passed my test. 10 stars 🤩

I Passed my driving test today on my first attempt, all credit goes to my instructor Seweryn From National Driving School. He helped throughout this process, he helped me with my theory test, how to apply my Reduced EDT (as i have my international license with me), My pretest lessons, Even Seweryn choses two routes today for my pre test session and told me one of this route will be selected as your final driving test and guess what? the first one was my driving test route. for all the Irish and non Irish residents(mainly) I would recommend him as we can clearly understand the basic rules and he will force you to repeatedly do the maneuver's to make you perfect for the final test.

I would highly recommend Dave with whom I have done my EDTs. A couple of pre tests, and then absolutely nailed it my first time itself!!!

I cleared Driving test today and all thanks to my instructor Chris for the pre test sessions. I recommend taking lessons from Chris , he gives clear instructions on what to follow and what not to do while driving/during the test. He has taken me through all the test routes and helped me understand the tricky points that go unnoticed generally while taking turns or round abouts. His constructive feedback helped to correct the mistake and pass the test.Thanks,Deepthy

Was really apprehensive about my upcoming test, so booked in for two pre-tests with Chris Kennedy! He was an unbelievable help with my driving and confidence also 👍💪 I thankfully managed to pass and couldn’t be happier with the service I got from National Driving School. Have already recommended it to one of my friends who has an upcoming test!!

Today I've had my driving test and passed first time. My instructor was Peter and I have to say, I am not sure if things would go my way without him. He always goes over everything very clearly and makes sure that you understand everything, it's never a boring lesson with him. Always on time, and never had cancelled a lesson last minute. I would definitely recommend and just wanted to say thank you one more time!

I did my EDT lessons with Chris Kennedy and passed the first time with very few marks. I was a very nervous driver at the beginning but Chris's positive approach really helped me stay calm, focused and boosted my confidence with every lesson. His instructions were simple and clear which made a very pleasant learning experience. Chris knows all the test routes and ensured I was familiar with the routes too. I did a pretest on the test routes and he highlighted everything I needed to work on before the test. He is the BEST instructor, and if not for him I wouldn't have had the confidence and courage to take the driving test. I highly recommend Chris.

I just passed my test first time because of Chris. He's the best teacher I've ever had for anything.Very friendly, puts you at ease from the first moment. Incredibly knowledgeable about the routes, cars, the process and what the testers are looking for. He's very encouraging and clear in explaining where you could improve.I would 100% recommend Chris and already have plenty of times to family and friends.Thanks again for making the lessons a pleasure!

I passed my driving test this morning with the help of instructor Chris O’Dowd. I can’t recommend Chris enough! He was very patient and helpful with my driving since the very beginning even in times I didn’t feel confident enough. He encouraged me and constantly reassured me throughout my lessons and pretests. He walked me through the whole driving test process to calm my nerves, he really is the best instructor I could’ve asked for. His advice and unbelievable teaching will stick with me for life. Thank you Chris for everything, you are the best at what you do.

After getting my test date confirmed and having completed EDT with a different instructor I was lucky to find NDS online, Jackie did a great job at booking me in their busy schedule and was booked a pre test with Chris Kennedy in Dun Laoghaire, what can I say!!! ….Whatever I write here will be short of praise to what this man deserves!!! In my very first few minutes of meeting him he made me feel at ease and in just one session I was clear on what I needed to work on while also being encouraged on what I was doing well. He built my confidence and after two more sessions I went on to pass my Test within my very first go at it, and with only two marks!!! ???????? I had only been driving for a year but he was exactly what I needed to polish my skills and give me the confidence necessary to pass my test, first time around!! I couldn’t recommend Chris anymore, if you want to pass your test he is your Man!! ???? thank you so much Chris, you are amazing at what you do!!
