Not very good service, booked 10 lessons online, paid in advanced, took one lesson but then had to move abroad, been trying to get other 9 lessons refunded - been over 3 months...

I did the test twice and failed twice, I needed to pass urgently as I was moving to the country. I had used four other instructors prior to Kevin, but Kevin was the only one who successfully picked up on the mistakes I was making and coached me to over come them. I would recommend Kevin to anyone who needs to pass the test - he's an amazing teacher and I would definitely not have passed were it not for him. read more >>

I passed my driving test yesterday at my first attempt after attending 5 pre test lessons with Kevin. I have attended a lesson with another instructor, but I left the lesson feeling like I hadn't learned much. I found Kevin to work on the area's you are tested on so you know what the person who takes you for your test is looking for. I learned to drive in South Africa and needed to get used to driving in Ireland, Kevin made this very easy for me. He is also very good at preparing you mentally for the test which helped me allot. I think how well you do in your test has allot to do with your instructors training and that is why I would recommend Kevin. read more >>

My name is Imran and I am a security officer. I have recently passed my driving test. I am driving here in Ireland since last 3years. I have been trained by many driving instructors but I was failed four (4) times in the test for small reasons.I saw the website of rsa driving school and went through the reviews of the people who passed the driving test after taking lessons from them. I decided to take lessons from them I just found the phone number of Kevin on the website, I never met Kevin I rang him for lessons and he sent Patrick to give me training/lessons. In the start I thought Kevin sent me a young guy for training who might not be well experienced, but very soon I realized that Patrick is a truly professional driving instructor when he gave me important tips (about roundabouts, turning left, turning right etc) during the lessons for driving which really helped me to pass the test. He is also very friendly and flexible person I requested him to change the booked time for the lesson due to my job timings, he open-mindedly understand and adjusted the time for training as I requested, I think this is also a big thing and plus point of him. If I say 80% his tips helped me and 20% was my own effort in passing the test, I think it won’t be wrong.Thank you Patrick and thank you rsa driving school. Imran Akhtar 0862048103 read more >>

Having completed a couple of pre-tests with a different motor school I contacted Kevin as I found I wasn't making much progress. After just one lesson with Kevin (which was cheaper than the previous school) I was drving completely different. Kevin identified my "bad habits" and addressed the issues immediately. His way of teaching is logical and simple. In the end I completed only two lessons with Kevin and passed my test on 30/06/2011 with flying colours. It was the technics and positive feedback from Kevin that ensured I passed the test. I can not recommand Kevin enough. I'm the third member of my family to pass with the National Driving School!!! I know I would not have passed if I hadn't come to Kevin in time! I recommand to book just even one lesson with Kevin and I promise you won't look back. Six out of five stars from me!!

I passed my driving test in Tallaght on Tuesday, June 28th and it's all thanks to Kevin. I've been driving for over two years but not very competently and definitely not in the manner that would allow me pass my driving test. After 10 minutes of meeting Kevin, he knew immediately what I was doing wrong and the areas I had to focus on for the test. He was very relaxed, straight-talking and worked with me over the week to improve on my many weaknesses and he still managed to instill confidence in me that I could pass the test. Kevin's approach is exactly what you need to pass your test - he's very practical and pragmatic and got me to approach the test like an exam, as there are set things you will have to do. Kevin got me to work on those and to start driving like an instructor would expect me to, safely and with progress. Kevin brought me to most common areas for your driving test route so when I went on the test, it was all very familiar to me and I remembered the various junctions, roads, situations that I need to be aware of. He also was a great help with the questions and road signs, focusing on the most likely to be asked. If you're learning how to drive or applying for your test, the smartest move you can make is to book Kevin now for your lessons. It's a great investment as the lesson's are keenly priced and going with Kevin you're saving yourself time and money by not having to re-apply for the test. Hilary read more >>

Martin, Drimnagh I passed my test yesterday May 25th at the first attempt. Initially I was quite a nervous driver. However, Kevin's tuition made me to feel much more confident and allowed me to progress easily. Kevin identified my bad habits and had tips & hints on how to correct them all very quickly. He had a plan for every lesson depending on what I needed to work on and each lesson built on the work of the previous one. Taking a mock test and visiting their great web-site helped immensely when it came to preparing for the test. Come test time I felt fully prepared and confident I could pass. Kevin is a fantastic instructor and I would certainly recommend him to friends and family. read more >>

I passed my test yesterday (the 16th of May) and its the best feeling! I had a few lessons with Kevin a few months ago to get me going and then again when the test came up. He spots the errors straight away and gives you clear instructions. I ended up using his car last minute and I was very nervous but he boosted my confidence. He was very reliable when it came to doing my test and was there with me on the day (walked me right into the waiting room)! He also did a mock test which was brilliant, I didn't make any ot those mistakes in the real thing an hour later! Its worth the money! read more >>

He is straight forward person, a professional, patient, and really knows what and where I need the correction. I took my driving test at raheny and its great to pass the first time out.

Passed my test today 22/03/2011), woooo hoo!! All thanks must go to Kevin. I was not feeling confident at all beforehand but then his instruction and his chilled out manner helped me through. He explains things in a clear and straightforward way which makes all the difference. My own car's NCT was just out of date so I had to use his car. In no time at all I was feeling relaxed behind the wheel. MSS (Mirror - Signal – Shoulder): Don't think I'll ever forget that bloody sequence and thank god, its what got me my drivers licence. Right, where the nearest motorway? It's all legal now baby yeee haaaw! :-) Thanks again Kevin! read more >>

I had done my test a number of times and was just about to give up hope completely on ever passing. Then I found Kevin, he is extremely good at relating what exactly the tester is looking for from you and breaking it down to a level which is easy to understand. He is good at tailoring the lessons to suit you and establishes a learning technique that is personal to your specific requirements. I'm delighted to say that after a few lessons with Kevin I have finally passed my test and am now driving everywhere :). Thanks Kevin. read more >>

I want to praise and thank Kevin for being a fantastic instructor. I took lessons for 6 months with Kevin as I had lost all my confidence after crashing my car. I had a fear of reversing due to the crash and Kevin gave me lots of encouragment which helped me forget about the crash. Kevin made me feel comfortable and confident driving, he is easy going which made my lessons so enjoyable. I took my driving test on March 9th and passed with flying colors, it was my first attempt at the test!!! I would recommend Kevin to anyone as he is a brilliant instructor!!!

I passed my driving test today thanks to the RSA Driving School. It was my first attempt and there's no way I could have done it without having had all of my lessons and pre-tests with them. I had never driven until I started lessons with them and was very nervous to begin with, but they made me feel so relaxed and gave me such confidence that I was driving by myself in under 10 lessons. A year later when it was time for my test I had no hesitation in booking my pre-test with them. Naturally, I had picked up one or two bad habits but with their expertise they quickly helped me to correct them. They were very thorough in preparing me for all aspects of the test, not just the driving. The questions we went over were the exact ones the tester asked me and being so well prepared helped to calm my nerves. I really wouldn't have passed without them. I have already recommended them to two people and would happily recommend them to anyone else. read more >>

I had my Ukrainian Driving license, couldn't just change it for an Irish one, as Ukraine is not part of EU. Had to pass driving test again. I was very nervous to do it, just didn't like to be tested. I was experienced driver, had my own bad driving habits. I was glad i had the best instructor - Kevin, who helped me to polish off my driving skills and showed what i needed to pass my driving test. The web-site helped a lot, where you can read all the questions you might be asked and you can see exactly what you have to show at your test. And i did it with confidence and passed!

Being in my mid thirties I was quite late in starting to drive, and what I had done I was basically self taught with a few sporadic lessons. I had picked up every bad habit that is out there. Kevin was highly recommended to me by people in similar situations. He started by actually explaining what driving is all about. He tailored his teaching to suit me and explained what I was doing and why I was doing it. As the lessons went on he crafted each to work on parts I was weak on, which was, well, everything! The key for me was that I practiced after each lesson on the topics we covered and it made a hugh difference. So before the test on the 1st of November in Tallaght, we did a few mock tests which were really helpful and really prepared me, as the areas I was weak on were then pointed out. Kevin is a fantastic instructor, and the best with doubt I have used, and lo and behold I passed on my first go, all thanks to him! read more >>

Hello everyone! This is happy Tom from Poland who passed the exam on 25th of August 2010 in Tallaght. I passed this exam only THANKS TO KEVIN - the best driving instructor I have ever met. When I came for the first lesson I told Kevin how stressfull and totally unenjoyable driving for me was and that I would never be a driver. After the very first lesson I knew, this man was gonna change it! With great patience and positive atitude a few lessons with Kevin helpded me gain self confidence in the car. He gave me so many fantastic pieces of advice which I employed not only during the exam but they also in everyday driving. Passing driving test didn't improve my skills but it gave me peace of mind. Two days after the exam me and my friends began went for the 8-day road trip around Ireland. All together I drove without any problems about 1500 km. Once again I want to stress that it was Kevin who made me a driver. Thanks a million Kevin!!! read more >>

I passed my driving test last Monday, 28th June, thanks to Kevin. It was my 6th test, having failed 3 of them by mounting the kerb on my reverse around the corner! I had taken plenty of lessons with other instructors but never seemed to be able to nail the manoeuvre. Kevin showed me how to reverse around the corner properly on our first lesson and then just polished up the rest of my driving with a very test focused approach. His advice is very practical and relevant to what the tester is looking for, and he helped to calm my nerves no end. I would highly recommend Kevin and the National Driving School to anyone looking to pass their driving test with a minimal amount of stress. Kellie ;) read more >>

After failing several driving tests over the years in both The Netherlands and Dublin I decided to give it one last shot with another driving instructor and I was lucky enough to get into contact with Kevin. He immediately focussed on the things that matter most to pass the test. He kept saying that if I would focus on those things I would pass. I did the test yesterday and passed with only two marks!

Cost of lessons: €35 an hour; Learning time (as a total beginner): 2 months; Number of lessons: 25; Kevin as your instructor: absolutely priceless! I just passed my test this morning after two months learning with Kevin. I was a complete beginner and had to learn in a really short space of time + I didn’t have a car to practice in. Kevin was an excellent teacher from the very first lesson – patient, clear, and a unique ability to understand how I personally needed to be instructed to learn how to drive properly and pass my test. He even predicted my exact test results in terms of marks. He also goes way beyond the call of duty of a regular instructor – he gave me a double lesson on Easter Monday when I called him at short notice worried about my test. If you decide to take lessons from someone else, you are really missing out. A lot of people have the RSA qualification, but that doesn’t mean they reach the same high standards as Kevin. Absolute gold. Sarah G read more >>

I passed my test today on lessons alone thanks to Kevin of the National Driving School, and I’m over the moon ! I have had a dilemma in relation to driving for some time. I had no car and buying one was not the solution either as I had nobody with a full licence who was free to accompany me when driving. (We all know it is now illegal to drive on a provisional licence without a fully licensed driver in the car right?). Anyway, I spoke to Kevin and explained my situation. He gave me excellent advice regarding suitable test areas and the best way to proceed. He is test focused from day one and knows exactly what the testers are looking for and will drill this information into you until your driving skills are up to the required standard. So for those of you without a car, take note, it can be done on lessons alone with a good instructor like Kevin. Even my tester today said he is one of best instructors out there!

I had failed the test twice and I was unsure exactly what I was doing wrong. When I went to Kevin for lessons he really put me at ease and made it really clear with regard to what area's I needed to concentrate on to get the test. I found in the past that instructors overcomplicated things and because of that I got really hung up on the small things instead of concentrating on the really important things. Kevin quickly showed me what I needed to focus on and to not get too hung up on things that aren't overly important. I was delighted to pass the test recently and I have to say I would put this mostly down to Kevin. read more >>

I passed my test today (March 27th), mostly thanks to pre-test lessons with Kevin. I had been with several driving instructors previously, and failed my first test last September, largely due to errors not picked up by my instructor before the test. Once I got a date for my new test, I contacted Kevin for a couple of pretest lessons. He quickly put me at ease, pointed out the basic errors I was making (coasting etc.), and helped me master the reverse around the corner (which had been a thorn in my side!). On the lessons he was constantly monitoring my standard of driving, making sure that good habits became automatic. I would recommend Kevin to anyone looking to pass their test, he is precise, professional and friendly - very easy to work with. Thank you! Alison read more >>

Having failed my test in october '09 i needed to get some more lessons, before i did another test. The last company i had lessons with gave me two different instructors which ended up, with me getting conflicting information. And that resulted in the failure of my test. So i searched on goldenpages.ie for driving instructors in my area and national driving school was top of list. So i gave them a call, and arranged a lesson. Within the first lesson Kevin noticed my faults from my failed test and worked on them. Them four lessons later i felt confident about my next test. And sure enough my test came february '10. And what can i say..... I PASSED. Woohoo. Wouldnt have been possible without Kevin and would highly recommend his company for any learner drivers looking to pass your test. Thanks again Kevin. read more >>

If you want to pass the driving test then Kevin is the man to go to it's as simple as that. Before i had lessons with Kevin, I was a nervous driver with little on the road experience and no chance of passing my test. After just 3 lessons I was confident in my driving ability, confident on what to expect when doing the driving test but above all I felt a better driver and more importantly a safer driver thanks to Kevin. There is no way I would have passed had it not been for Kevin. Thanks a lot Kevin and if I ever hear of someone needing lessons then it's over to you. Thanks again...Dom. read more >>

Kevin is a fantastic instructor. I passed the test with ease after 2 pre-tests with Kevin. I had attempted the test before and had pre-tests with numerous instructors in the past and found Kevin’s lessons excellent. In comparison to other instructors who picked on minor details and left me very nervous and quite frustrated for the test.. Kevin was clear and direct about what testers are looking for and after the pre test I was confident and relaxed and focused and absolutely breezed through the test. I would be re-applying indefinitely if it wasn’t for Kevin’s help. Highly highly recommend! I will be recommending to anyone I know.. Thanks a million...Brian Kilcock read more >>

I sat my test last week and passed! Id reccomend national driving school, especially Kevin to anyone learning to drive or preparing for their driving test without hesitation! It was not the first time i'd done the test and before meeting Kevin i suffered from severe lack of confidence behind the wheel! After my first attempt at the test i hadn't driven in almost a year but even after the first lesson i was immediatley at ease. The pre-tests i took really helped my confidence so much and everything was broken down to seem so easy. i really dont think i could have done it without the help of Kevin, Thanks again! : ) read more >>

i cant stop going on telling anyone that will listen how great i think the national driving school especially kevin i failed my test the 1st time badly and had no confidence , i was left beliving i would never ever pass but then after reading the reviews about the national driven school i was very impressed and booked some lessons and wow what a difference they made within the 1st ten minutes kevin saw where i was going wrong and talked me though how to put it right. i really liked how straight to the point he was. not only did a pass but i only got two minor marks. it was the best money ive ever spent i have a better awareness off the road now and feel so much more safer driving my little girl around. thanks again kevin. ann , sundale tallaght read more >>

Just passed my test today. This was my second attemt, the first time i failed atrociously. It was particularly upsetting since i was driving since 14 ys, and felt pretty comfortable behind the wheel. After searching the net i've found Kevin's school, and was really happy to learn that he used to be a tester himself. I only took 3 lessons, still passed my test with minimal mistakes. I would highly recommend him to anyone, especially people need their license as quick as possible. read more >>

I've only been driving for 4 months and had done lessions before and had been told many different things on how to pass my test but Keven was amazing he knew what the tester wanted from you he does not only to teach you how to drive but also teachs you how to pass your test. I had done one test and it had 14 grade 2 today I pass my test because of Keven and to prove how could he is I only had 3 lessions. If you want to pass your test Keven is the man. Thanks for helping me pass Keven read more >>

I met Kevin three weeks before my test. My driving was not too good (to say the least!) even though a lot of money was previously spent on lessons with another driving school. Kevin is an excellent teacher, his advice and indications are very good and very test-focused. I passed the test from the first attempt, I could not believe it!

Kevin managed to get rid of years of bad habits with only a few sessions. He is a smart teacher, a pleasure to learn with. He tirelessly corrected my mistakes to perfection. Just today I passed my driving test WITHOUT A SINGLE MARK. Not even minor faults. The tester was genuinely impressed and remarked how seldomly he meets such drivers. I could not have possibly done it without Kevin. I'm going to frame my driving test report ;) read more >>

11th Aug 2009. I just want to say a HUGE thank you to Kevin for helping me pass my test. I have been driving for 5 years and i had picked up ALOT of bad habits but 4hrs in the car with Kevin they were gone! I would recommend him as an instructor for both first time drivers and pre - tests. He was great at explaining things and never once did he make me feel stupid. After meeting him i immediately felt relaxed and at ease. I truly believe it was Kevin's professionalisim and encouragement that gave me the confidence boost i needed which enabled me to pass my test. I'm still in shock i passed thanks again Kevin.

I was very apprehensive about learning how to drive and as a result had put it off for years. When I finally decided to take the plunge, I spent a lot of time researching into who would be the best driving instructor to use. I came across Kevin on goldenpages.ie and after reading the reviews I decided to book a course of lessons. I don’t think I could have made a better choice. Kevin doesn’t have a standard run of the mill teaching routine, he assesses each student individually on their strengths and weaknesses and caters each lesson accordingly. He knows exactly what the examiners are looking for and is very familiar with all the test routes. Just passed my test yesterday and I know I couldn’t have done it without him. Thanks K!! read more >>

Very quickly he setup my driving lessons 2 weeks prior the test date with Leslie, who is my instructor. He couldn't assign anyone better. Leslie is so good and experience. He assessed my driving skill and provide his recommendation to me on what is best to me with the aim that I will pass on the first attempt, and I did.

This message is totally over due. I had my driving test approx. 2 months ago and passed my test on the second attempt. Peter was my driving instructor and words cannot describe his expertise and guidance. He is superb. I had approx 30 driving lessons in the past with other driving schools, which were needless to say a disaster. I only learned to drive when I got into the car with Peter. I had my driving test in Fonthill, I had never drove in the area in the past and it was a really tough route, but with the excellent guidance, teaching and demonstration I passed with flying colours. I will and have recommended Peter and the school to everyone I know. If you are looking for a great instructor, Peter is your man. I wish you guys all the best with your business, you deserve to be a great success. Good luck and many many thanks.

I had two lessons with him and I can honestly say he gave me such confidence going into that test today it was amazing. The test today went exactly as Kevin said it would, almost down to the exact questions that were asked of me, he couldnt have prepared me more for it.

I passed my test 2 weeks ago on my fifth attempt. I had used the same instructor for three out of four of the previous tests and after paying for a huge amount of lessons and being told i would have no problem in passing i still failed. Before my fifth attempt i googled driving instructors and came across Kevin in National Driving School and read the reviews and was very impressed and also could relate to alot as they had been in the same position as myself. I only had 2 lessons with Kevin but learnt more in those two lessons than any of the other numerous lessons that i had. Kevin was very good at demonstrating how i should be driving in the test to pass. He also made me feel very relaxed and confident in my driving. I was always very nervous going to my driving test but on the 5th attempt i felt very relaxed and this really helped with my test - this was down to Kevin. If anybody reading this is in the same position as i was you just need a lesson with Kevin - highly recommend read more >>
