Allied Driving Instructors Reviews 

I needed to complete 6 reduced EDT lessons to sit my driving test, however, ended up doing around 15 lessons total. I received a fast response and was able to start learning quickly. Despite working a 9-5 during the week, my instructor always accommodated my schedule and was able to fit me in for regular practice. After each lesson, I had a good sense of what I needed to improve on for the test. When I did my driving test, I felt well-prepared regarding the theory, the car controls, and the driving itself. I passed on my first attempt. I really appreciated the humour my instructor brought to each lesson as it certainly put my nerves at ease.

Had my 12 lessons with Szilard. Just passed my test first try. Had an amazing experience and found the lessons very informative and helpful. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Had a great experience learning with Darragh in Finglas. He was very patient, explained everything clearly, and gave me plenty of pre-test practice on the actual test routes. He was also very flexible with lesson times, which made things much easier. Would definitely recommend him to anyone preparing for their driving test!

Was looking for a refresher on manual driving before my driving test, and Bogdan was incredibly rude and would often yell at me when making mistakes with gear timing, rather than simply explaining what went wrong. Communication was also harsh both before and during the lesson. Overall, I found the refresher incredibly stressful and overpriced and chose to look elsewhere for further support. I would not recommend lessons with Bogdan.

Did my 12 lessons and some pretests with Darragh and passed 1st time in Finglas! Clear, pantient and such a lovely guy. Could not recommend him enough.

I had practice sessions with Darragh, and thanks to his guidance and support, I passed on my very first attempt. His explanations were clear, patient, and extremely helpful. I highly recommend Darragh to anyone looking for effective and confidence-building preparation!

I had a poor experience with Bogdan…

I had a poor experience with Bogdan regarding my final two driving lessons. Throughout our time, he always sent a reminder text the day before. For the final two sessions, he asked for payment in advance to 'approve' my lessons on the RSA system early. After I paid, he failed to send the usual reminder or call me on the day.

When I missed the start time, he claimed I 'lost' the lessons. It is completely unprofessional to pocket a student's money and then fail to provide basic communication, especially after a consistent habit of doing so. I paid for a service that was not delivered.

In addition to the communication issues, his behavior during lessons was often unprofessional and aggressive. During one session, while I was practicing reverse parking, a passing driver honked their horn. Bogdan jumped out of the car, ran to the other driver's window, and started shouting at him. His aggressive behavior was incredibly stressful and distracting while I was trying to learn. This is not the environment a professional driving instructor should provide.

Darragh was very professional and a great teacher, it was always easy to ask any questions I had and I cannot recommend him enough.

I just passed my driving test and my
instructor was Darragh and he was very patient and his lessons were very effective. I learnt so many great techniques for driving and that’s what helped me pass my test. I would highly recommend Darragh to anyone looking to get lessons done

Darragh was extremelly helpful with my driving, correcting any intial errors i had with helpful tips and easy to understand directions,will strongly recommend to my friends and family

I took my driving lessons in Finglas with Darragh.

Great instructor. Patient and very helpful.
Was able to accommodate the lessons in convenient times for me and him.
Gave me instructions upto the exam.

Very clean car.

I would highly recommend Darragh for anyone looking for driving lessons.

Darragh is a brilliant instructor. I’m only 17 and passed first time. He’s the only reason I passed. 100% would recommend him for anyone.

Szilard was very accommodating with pre test and car hire . Super instructor, can’t recommend him highly enough. My son passed his test first time.

I only had Szilard for two double lessons to get some practice in before my test (which i passed). He was friendly and encouraging. Great at pointing out what needs work but not in a discouraging way.

I had my 12 essential driver training lessons with Bernard. Super helpful and friendly, always explained things clearly and made me feel comfortable. Thanks to the guidance, I passed my test today. Highly recommended and Really appreciate the support!

Did car hire and pretest with Szilard for Mulhuddart test centre. He pointed out my bad habits straight away and helped me correct them. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my test- highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Darragh as a driving instructor. He is incredibly calm and patient, and really helped me to build confidence in my driving. He always took the time to help me work on the areas of driving that I found particularly difficult, and he would explain everything really clearly. Darragh was also very accommodating with organising lessons around work schedules and other commitments. Thanks to Darragh's teaching and support, I passed my driving test on the first try!

Darragh is a great instructor and both my sons passed the test after several lessons with him. He is patient and put them at ease as well as building up their confidence. With my sons work schedule Darragh was always flexible fitting in lessons at short notice. Many thanks Darragh for all your help and work with the boys.

Would highly recommend. I wish I'd found Darragh sooner, the 1.5 hr driving lessons were the perfect length and the cost of the lessons was very reasonable. He helped a lot with confidence driving and helped correct bad habits.

I took lessons from Darragh and passed my test in first attempt. Really helpful and very good, prepares you for every situation.
