Pretest Driving Lessons
Passing your driving test couldn’t be any easier with our pretest lessons.

Pretest Driving Lessons Dublin
Our Pretest lessons have proven to be the main reason our pupils pass their test first time at all Driving Test Centres. Why is that you think? Aren’t all instructors the same? Absolutely not.
We are one of the most respected schools in this country and even the Testers understand the level we operate at.
You see any school can talk about how magnificent they are but here at NDS we like to show these facts.
We like you to see for yourself why everyone is talking about us. We don’t do the talking our pupils do.

Preparation is Key to Passing Your Test
You wouldn’t attend a job interview without doing your groundwork on speech and presentation would you? then why appear for the driving test without the pretest preparation?
Pretest works the same for you as your final revision before the exam to memorise and practice the important aspects to give your best.
A Pretest is the most essential step before you appear for the final driving test to polish your skills and practice the techniques on road with one of our instructors.

What Happens with your Instructor on the Pretest
You need to inform your instructor of your driving test date and/or to the sponsor who is going to train you on the pretest training also.
It is advisable to start your pretest after you complete the 12 EDT lessons with our driving instructor.
This gives more time to test yourself and an enhanced evaluation from our instructor which will solve your shortcomings in a limited time and to work on the areas which need more practice.
Tips to follow on your day of Driving Test
You must be looking for some short tricks to make it to the test in one go but you must know that practice is the only key to crack it in your first attempt. Still there are many things you can keep in mind to perform better.
- You should be confident about your driving skills as you have passed all the 12 EDT lessons and if you have also attended the pretest session then you will be relaxed during the test.

Would 100% recommend him, he’s an amazing instructor, I wouldn’t of passed without all his help🙏🏼
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for all the guidance and support you provided throughout my driving lessons. As an Indian national living in Ireland, the process was a bit daunting for me at first, but your patience, professionalism, and dedication made all the difference.
Thanks to your excellent teaching, I was able to pass my driving test, and I couldn’t be more excited! Your clear instructions, calm demeanor, and personalized approach to my learning made the experience so much smoother.
I truly appreciate how you took the time to ensure I was not only prepared for the test but also confident on the road. Your encouragement and belief in my abilities helped me immensely, and I will carry the skills you taught me throughout my life.
Thank you once again for being such a fantastic instructor. I will always recommend Kevin Veeren to anyone I know who’s learning to drive.
But I take a moment to express how passionate and caring towards all his students Chris is. He teaches you not just to drive safely on the roads but prepares you for your big day and the compassion hits you in a different way. I highly recommend Chris to all the drivers out there looking to get a full license. There is someone out there looking after you all. Book sometime and see it for yourself as I feel no amount of words can express how good he is and the volcano of talent as a Teacher he possesses.
Thank you for giving me such a great level of coaching Chris.
Hands down, they are the best in business. Thanks a lot Darren and Chris!
professional, patient, and genuinely invested in my success.
The lessons were structured to maximize my learning in a limited time frame. My instructor tailored the sessions to focus on my specific weaknesses, which helped build my confidence quickly. The practical driving sessions were thorough, and I felt well-prepared for the test. They also provided valuable tips and resources for the theory part, which made a significant difference.
Thanks to National Driving School, I not only passed my driving test but also gained a solid understanding of safe driving practices. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn quickly and effectively. Their dedication to helping students succeed is truly commendable!
did two pretests with Keith and Chris. Their enthusiastic attitudes gave me a huge confidence boost going into my driving test. They explained things in a such a clear and patient way and gave me lots of advice that helped me pass my test first time. Big thank you to National Driving School!
