Irish School of Motoring - ISM Reviews 

I done my Ecdl and pre tests with Niamh from ism.
From the get go she made me feel super comfortable and relaxed. I done my last pre test with her yesterday and just passed my driving test first time this morning. I can’t recommend Niamh enough. Learning to drive with her was a fun experience and I didn’t dread it all. 11/10

I passed my D1 category test today first time.I would like to extend my gratitude and respect to Dave O Carroll for his very professional and thorough lessons and patience with me without which I don't think I would have passed.Many thanks Dave and office staff.

I obtained my trailer license 1st time with RSA thanks to extensive training with Richard Whyte at ISM who is a great instructor. its more than just towing a trailer, it's the road rules, the hand signals and increased awareness the RSA will mark you on at test day Richard prepares you for.
Very professional and friendly.
thankyou Richard!

Had a slow experience from the start and changed instructor to Niamh, very helpful and great at explaining everything to you about what you’re doing right and wrong and makes you comfortable during the lesson. Will recommend her to everyone

Great experience with this company from point of booking to doing the actual lessons.

Staff on the phone were helpful, got everything booked for me quick and easy.

Had my lessons with Murray, who was a great instructor and also extremely flexible in organizing the lessons in terms of timing and location so it suited both of us.

Would highly recommend ISM to anyone wanting to learn, and Murray specifically who was a great teacher!

I had a great experience with Irish School of Motoring. The lessons were clear, fun, professional, and really helped build my confidence on the road. A special thanks to my instructor, Niamh, for her patience, kindness, and support through many silly mistakes. thanks to her I passed my driving test today in finglas

This is one of the best driving school in the republic of Ireland. I had a great and excellent experience with them to become a professional driver. Their instructors were good and they know the job perfectly. Many thanks to Dave M,Enouch,Joe,Declen,Abdul. I could remember my third days in ism when i met Enough to teach me that day, do you know my experience is not that much, i just heard him saying * kiss the white line, kiss the white line because my positioning on the road was very bad.That word steaks to my brain and is very understandable. In addition, those people in office were very friendly. They address you professionally, dignity and with respect. Infact! I am happy and i recommend the ism to everyone.

I had 5h bus lessons with Rishard white he’s a good instructor,just b prepared physically and mentally to handle the pressure,apart from from that he’s a good instructor he does he’s best to help you pass your test,and I passed big thanks to him for all the help he has done.

This is the best Irish motoring school…
This is the best Irish motoring school in the Republic. The time spent with the different instructors I learned a lot about how to become a professional driver and I noticed that there was kind of warm and positive treatment for all the trainees.
Each time I was on the road with: Enoch Oki, Martin, Dave, Abdi they were motivating and encouraging me to improve. I will recommend Enoch Oki and Abdi especially for their outstanding coaching and motivational skills.
Frankly the instructors deserve a lot.
Regards to all.

I had a great time driving with Enoch, he create a calm and supportive learning environment also gives a clear understanding of road rules and safety. The ism school have quality instructors but need to work on driving practice not taking more than two learners for driving also making sure a learner has a particular driver which will carry him throughout his duration of learning.

I completed my 12 lessons start of February and have nothing to show for it. Disgusted that almost 2 months ago I finished my lessons and none of them are up on the system. Now my driving instructor has gone MIA, has not answered texts, called ISM but they asked me to keep trying to get in contact with driving instructor or contact RSA as the driving instructor is not working for them anymore but it has to be the driving instructor to put the lessons up. RSA said they would try help get onto him. What’s worse is I saw the driving instructor with a new ISM advertising car different to what they had for me just this week.

Finished my 12 lessons, no bother just had trouble with the test. After running through a few instructors one Caroline Mulhall stuck with me. Helpful, informative and gives good guides which if kept leads to an easy passing. Would Highly Recommend her If you want to get this driving test behind you! - Mulhall's School of Motoring

Couldn’t recommend Instructor Niamh Brady enough she was absolutely fantastic! Test passed first time. Very impressed with the service provided.
Best in the business !!
Highly recommend fantastic driving experience

We cannot recommend ISM enough especially Vitaliy and Niamh they were so professional caring and kind, we had a very bad experience with Airport driving school in which Niamh was able to turn the driving experience around thankfully 🙏🏻

I would highly recommend Niamh as she gave me the confidence and I passed my test first time. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Do not recommend! I signed up with this school, they assigned me a very unfriendly nervous non-encouraging teacher. As it was not already bad enough the dude just quit in my middle of lessons WITHOUT ever giving me a logbook or uploading my lessons to RSA. I called ISM, and they were equally unfriendly and unhelpful in getting the instructor to upload my lessons. I had to cancel remaining sessions, because they couldn't find another teacher earlier than few my. Honestly I don't think there is any quality check on the instructor. They would accept any random person who wants to contract with them I do not trust their passing rate seeing how unprofessional everything else was.

I have just completed my 12th lesson with Kieran Foley.Up until these lessons I hated driving had no confidence, that has massively changed.Kieran is patient, informative &friendly.I was at ease from day one would highly recommend Kieran to anyone looking for anything to do with driving.I finally enjoy driving and can’t wait to get going thanks Kieran.

I can’t recommend driving instructor Niamh enough she was AMAZING. She kept me calm and gave me the confidence I needed, even in moments when I doubted myself. Her patience, encouragement, and clear instructions made such a difference. I always felt supported, and she created a positive environment during our lessons. I’m so grateful to have had her as my instructor, and I would highly recommend her to anyone learning to drive. I passed my driving test first time with her help Thank you for everything Niamh I couldn’t have done it without you!!!!!!
