National Driving School Reviews 

I done my lessons with Conor and he was probably the best instructor I could’ve thought to have! He explained everything really well and helped you along the way while also pushing and challenging you! He helped me remember what to do after mistakes and every word he said I took in stride! I passed my test today because of him and I can’t see it any other way! I recommend him to a friend and she too passed only a few days before! He’s also a great chat and laugh and helps you get comfortable talking while driving too!

I cannot recommend Thomas Corbally highly enough.
As an older learner with significant anxiety and nervousness about driving, I genuinely believed I would never become a confident driver. In fact, I waited four years after completing my EDT lessons before even applying for my first driving test—which says a lot about how apprehensive I was.
Everything changed when I started lessons with Tom. From the very first session, he was patient, professional, understanding, and incredibly supportive. His calm and reassuring approach immediately put me at ease and helped me build confidence behind the wheel.
What truly sets Tom apart is his ability to work with nervous drivers. He didn't just teach me how to drive; he helped me overcome years of fear and self-doubt.
Tom was also extremely accommodating with lesson times, making it easy to fit lessons around my schedule. Every lesson felt tailored to my individual needs and progress, ensuring that I was always moving forward at a pace that suited me.
The results speak for themselves. After beginning lessons with Tom, I applied for my driving test and passed on my first attempt just six weeks later—something I never thought possible

My Son passed his driving test all thanks to Krzys.

I can’t recommend him highly enough!

His knowledge, professionalism, patience and kind personality make him an easy choice for driving success.

Thank you Krzys for being so helpful and accommodating.

I had my lessons with Paul and all I can say he is a great instructor ,friendly ,easy to talk to.
I’ve been trying for a while to pass the driving lesson but within 4 lessons I passed today !! I couldn’t do it without his help ! Highly recommend.
Thank you again Paul.

Both Chris and Andrew were brilliant very patient knowledgeable and so easy to talk to their teaching is second to none Could not fault them. 100% recommend either of lads 😊

Straight to the point on what I needed to improve to pass my test. So so helpful and I’m so glad I chose them.

After struggling with nerves, I finally passed my driving test. Paul was exceptional—patient, reliable, and always focused on helping me become a safe and confident driver. Thank you, Paul for all your support and encouragement. I'd highly recommend him to anyone preparing for their test.🎉🎉🎉

“I had a fantastic experience learning with Thomas. Thanks to his patience, clear instructions, and excellent teaching methods, I passed my driving test on my first attempt. He’s a great driving instructor who teaches you, how to handle the roads and also makes sure you know every coffee spot on the map♥️. I highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking for a professional and supportive driving instructor.”

I had my lessons with Thomas. He was just the best! I didn’t have any experience with driving prior to my lessons and I was so worried about my test/lessons in general & Thomas did a great job of calming me down and reassuring me. He corrected me constantly and was so supportive. He is so patient, so understanding & he really does a great job of making you feel confident. Would 100% recommend Thomas to anybody who is looking to do automatic tests/lessons in Navan. He is top tier.

Passed my driving test today, my instructor was Thomas Corbally. He is the best around so patient, makes driving enjoyable and alot of knowledge to get you ready for the test. The car is amazing to drive so smooth makes you more confident driving. All in all hes a pure gent and would for sure recommend to do lesson with Thomas.

Passed my test today with flying colours all because of Chris and Fergal!

I did my EDT lessons with Fergal and as an initial nervous driver Fergal was great at keeping me at ease and had great patience with me giving me all the tips and tricks.

I did a pre test with Chris just before my test and it definitely set me up to pass the test today.

I would highly recommend both Chris and Fergal to anyone starting out on the road.

I can’t thank you both enough 😀😀

I was so lucky to have Chris and Stephen as my instructors. Both gave me such confidence to do my test and helped me believe in myself. They allowed me to grow from my mistakes and helped me fix the issues I was having without making me loose my confidence. I highly recommend National driving school to anyone who’s learning how to drive!! Thank you guys!!

Doing practice tests and lessons with Diane was an absolute pleasure and I can 100% say it gave me the boost in confidence needed to finally pass my test. She was ever patient with a cheerful attitude and positive comments, would truly recommend her!

If I could rate it higher I would! Yesterday I passed first time all thanks to my instructor Conor O’Toole. I got recommended by a friend to book a lesson with Conor last summer, I decided to give it a shot and it was the best thing I could have done! As an instructor and a person he is kind, funny, patient and has a great passion for his students and work! When doing lessons he takes time to break down, step by step what to do making it a great enjoyable experience to learn and to build from your mistakes. I really enjoyed working with Conor and it was a pleasure to get to know him and have a laugh! Thank you so much I will be recommending him to everyone!!!

Chris is an amazing instructor and would highly recommend him. I did my EDT lessons and then some pre-test classes with Chris. I passed my exam on the first go. He was very easy to book classes with, explains the rules and instructions very clearly, and prepares you really well not only for the exam but also to drive safely on the roads. Thoroughly enjoyed my classes with Chris and would recommend National Driving School for anyone seeking classes in South Dublin.

I did some pre-tests with Diane, and passed first try! She was so lovely and very helpful, I had a bad experience with my first instructor but Diane helped me so much and I couldn't have passed my driving test without her. She is so kind and professional I recommend her to everyone 5 stars and thank you so much!

Today, I passed my driving test on the first attempt, thanks to Mr. Mick. I heard that it is very difficult to pass on the first try, but Mick provided excellent support throughout the training process.
He trained me very well, gave me confidence, and was always supportive. I would like to thank the National Driving School and Mick for their excellent training and guidance.
I highly recommend this driving school and Mick to anyone preparing for their driving test.

I had Andrew for a pretest a few days before my 3rd test and he really helped me calm my nerves and perfect where I had gone wrong previously. Finally passed. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

2 weeks before my exam(didn’t really have a whole lot of choice), I tried to contact NDS through email, I also changed my test from Deansgrange to Wicklow town, then I have Andrew with me, he picked up literally all of my issues in one lesson, I practiced for two weeks, had a mock test two days before test, again he managed to picked up my issues, the rout he chose on mock test day was exactly the same as the rout I was tested today, he is a absolutely gem, definitely recommend to anyone who is desperately looking to pass this crazy test!!!!! Thank you Andrew!!!

Absolutely thrilled I picked national driving school for my lessons and pretests. Chris was amazing and had so much knowledge for me to learn from. I would never of passed without him!
