I had a great experience taking lessons with Martin. I had years of driving experience and had picked up a few bad habits along the way, but Martin quickly pointed out the mistakes I was making and helped me refine my driving skills. He made me feel comfortable and at ease from the minute I got into the car, which really helped build my confidence behind the wheel. He’s patient, calm, and explains everything clearly. The mock driving test was especially helpful as it prepared me for what to expect on the day and gave me a real confidence boost. I’m delighted to say I passed my driving test today! I couldn’t have done it without his support and guidance. I would highly recommend Martin to anyone looking for a fantastic driving instructor. Thank you, Martin!I would highly recommend Airport driving school. It’s a top-notch driving school that prepares you not only to pass your test but to become a responsible and safe driver. I’m grateful for the skills and knowledge I gained during my time there. 25/06/2026

Andrea O Connell

I passed my driving test this morning, and my experience learning to drive with Baolin was fantastic. He’s professional, knowledgeable, incredibly patient, always punctual, attentive and his explaned everything clearly and calmly. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to drive a bus. 24/06/2026

Hebe Huang

Had my first lesson with Mags. Very direct and straight to the point which has been really helpful for me. I was able to learn quickly with her and she made sure to create a calm environment where I felt free to ask questions.

UPDATE Just finished my 12 lessons with Mags. Had a great experience overall, and I feel so comfortable with her. She has accommodated me so well and taught me so much throughout my lessons with her. 24/06/2027

Jason M

Aaron was very informative and reassuring throughout the lesson. He explained everything clearly, helped build my confidence, and made the learning experience comfortable and stress-free. Highly recommended! 23/06/2026

Angeki Abijay

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend Airport Driving School. My driving instructor was very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and calmly guided me throughout my lessons, which helped me feel more confident on the road. His teaching style made learning easy and enjoyable. Thank you, Airport Driving School, for your excellent service and for assigning me such a great instructor. Keep up the great work! 😊

MH Canlas

I had a great learning experience with Airport Driving School. My instructor, Edward, helped me pass my driving test on my very first attempt. He patiently corrected my mistakes and guided me step by step, which greatly boosted my confidence leading up to the test day. I would highly recommend Edward to anyone looking for an excellent driving instructor and aiming to pass their driving test on the first try. Thank you, Edward, for your support and guidance! 20/06/2026

Aman Sharma

Highly Recommend Airport Driving School! I can’t thank Kevin enough for helping me pass my driving test. From our very first lesson, he was incredibly patient, professional, and knowledgeable. He didn’t just teach me how to pass the test; he taught me how to be a safe and confident driver. He has a great way of breaking down tricky maneuvers and calming any test-day nerves. If you want an instructor who genuinely cares about your success, Kevin is the absolute best! 18/06/2026

Aditi Mebnon

I have had a couple of lessons already with Gareth. At first sight he is enthusiastic even in the wee hours of the morning. What I appreciate most is that he gives me the opportunity to try manoeuvres myself few times and then encourages me to analyse what went wrong. When I have situational questions he explains what needs done and the logic behind the reasoning and gives examples or show me it when the opportunity comes. Gareth always takes into account the areas I tell him I struggle with and tailors the lessons accordingly. He never makes me feel stupid or embarrassed, he patiently explains what needs to be done in a clear logical way. We have a quick debrief after the lessons that also help clarify things we discussed while I was driving and maybe didn’t fully absorb. His respectful and calm teaching style means I don’t feel nervous during lessons. I can be honest about my weaknesses because I know he will focus on helping me overcome them and build my confidence. Gareth is patient and encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping me become safe and confident driver. 18/06/2026

Kaniza Eiffe

cannot recommend Airport Driving School any more than I do. I have experience driving in a different country and Gareth my instructor here has used that to help me prepare for the test here in Ireland. He is very calm and answers all my questions.He is very knowledgable and great for lessons, has such a great way of teaching and making me feel stress free and loving driving!! 18/06/2026

I would recommend stick to small driving schools where there is just a single instructor and single car which would help you to save your money and get less confusing instructions.s confusing instructions.

Elana Alvardo

I passed my test today on my first attempt and it was thanks to Airport Driving School. My instructor, Des, was very supportive and I couldn’t have passed without his help. I found the mock tests with Tom were an excellent way to prepare for the test too, they gave me the experience to remain calm in the test situation. I can’t recommend Airport Driving School highly enough and would advise anyone I know who is planning on taking the test to do their lessons with them. Thanks again to Des, Tom and everyone else involved for helping me pass my test.

DANIEL O RIORDAN

Only started lessons with this school a few weeks ago and passed the first time. I would just like to say a huge thank you to Trevor my driving instructor! He was so encouraging but honest during my experience. He gave me the confidence and push I needed and wasn’t afraid to be completely transparent with me about the areas I needed to improve on. He went out of his way to help me and had a very positive attitude about everything. This made my driving experience so much better. I would definitely recommend him for lessons when you join the school!

Esther Ade

I started training with Ross Smith under the reduced EDT in January, and he didn’t just give me the rules for the sake of it. He actually explained the practical aspect behind every rule, helping me bring that into practice. He tailored the lessons perfectly based on my previous driving history and correcting any bad habits I picked up over last 10 years, instead of just mechanically going through lessons.
Result: I passed!
ADS is highly recommended if you are looking for a professional company which sticks to its promises.

Abhishek Tyagi

Hi my name is Brian Harris
I am writing about Carmel from Airport Driving School.
I passed my driving test on the 12th July 2019 thanks to Carmel. She gave me great confidence when she was teaching me. She was patient with me and gave all her time. She encouraged me when I felt at times I couldn’t do it. Thanks Camel for helping me pass my test. If I know anyone who is doing their test I would highly recommend Airport Driving School and Carmel.
Thanks again Carmel.

BRIAN HARRIS

Passed my driving test today with airport driving school. I couldnt recommend them enough. I was an extremely nervous driver and after failing my test a few years ago it knocked me back and put me off sitting it again. So I booked in for a couple of lessons with Derek, he made me feel so at ease and built up my confidence to go and sit the test again. I then had a mock test with John and another lesson with Des I couldn’t recommend these three lads more they all helped me out so much and I could never thank them enough for helping me to get to where I wanted to be and passing my test. Thank again guys.

JENNIFER DUNNE

All 5 Stars are for my Trainer ‘Jason’. He is a great teacher and a wonderful person. His patience is commendable and no matter how many times I repeated the same mistake, he will every time come up with a new method of teaching it. Airport Driving school is more expensive but it is worth because of the Quality Trainers they provide and Jason is a perfect example. Thank you Jason and Airport Driving School, it was because of all your tips and teachings that I was able to clear my Test in first time with flying colours.

Haris Tamini

Fantastic team , especially Lorraine so supporting and uplifting. Highly recommend to anyone especially if you failed your first test , with the Airport Driving School your in safe hands !

Daniel Kolacki

Test passed. Thank you for all your support and faith Des. You are a master of what you doing. Please keep helping learners as if they listen to your guidance roads will be safer and they will pass their test by first time. Thanks for everything! Alex

Alex

I recently done a bus test with Airport Driving School in order to start a career with Bus Eireann, i had 2 excellent instructors in Jason And Ciaran and i always felt with their guidance that i would pass the test, but for me the cornerstone to success was the mock tests that i had to do, i done them with Tom and i will take his tuition with me everywhere i go he was fantastic but though, he really opened my eyes to the bigger picture, yes this was about the driving test but it was also something for me to take with me for future situations. ill never forget the guys and would like to thank the entire team at Airport Driving school for there excellent service.

PAUL HAGAN

Really recommend Airport Driving School in Dublin I passed my D, bus license I want to thank to Airport Driving School, to the supervisor Alan to all the helpful working team, and special thanks to my teacher Sean Nolan.
I recommend you to ask for Sean if you looking to pass with success the D bus license & I am talking from my personal experience. Beside that he taught me to drive the bus he believed in my driving abilities & let me feel comfortable on the road with self confidence. Good luck for all. Really recommend school.

LEViDO OVADiA

I recommend highly!
I’ve completed my IBT here and I feel extremely well prepared for driving a motorbike. The lads give excellent advice and have many years experience themselves. They have a passion for driving and keeping people safe. They will be patient and honest with you – because they know their honest opinions and advice will potentially save your life. Thank you for providing me with an excellent mindset –
I’ve really enjoyed my bike training, thanks very much Colm!

Seán Lynch

John Ryan was THE BEST driving instructor! He was informed, cheerful and kept me calm all through the preparation for my test. And I passed on the first time with him! He was really good company in the car too. John made the whole experience entirely pleasant. And when the test day came around, I really felt he was routing for me. 5 stars.

Ann Lucille Patten

Derek is an excellent driving instructor! Both my boyfriend Mike and I did lessons with Derek and passed! I passed my test first time! Before I did lessons with Airport Driving School, I did not feel confident driving and was sure I would fail my first test but Derek got my driving up to the necessary standard and helped me to gain confidence behind the wheel. We both did the motorway lesson with Derek after our tests and I would highly recommend it. It was extremely useful for learning to drive at higher speeds and learning how to drive safely on the motorway.

Eva Desmond

Just wanted to say thanks very much to Des for helping me pass. There was alot of bad habits I had picked up from driving and I was a bag of nerves but he helped calm me down and I truly believe I would not of passed without his help!! Will definitely be recommending this place to anyone I know that will be looking for lessons and pretests. Thanks so much

‎Kirsten Stewart‎ to Airport Driving School

Airport driving school were excellent from start to finish in helping me pass my bus test today. My instructor Vasile was great, patient and explained everything very well from the first lessons to the last one. I would definately recommend asking for Vasile if you get your lessons in Airport driving school. Thanks a lot.

Marius Antonache

Passed my driving test first time after taking lessons with another instructor I wasn’t happy and a week before my lesson felt I had no chance of passing. Happened upon Carmel who brought me out for 3 lessons and gave me exceptional training, wood not have passed without her. Cannot recommend enough would give 10 stars of I could

Niamh Corrig

Having a full driving license was always an important goal of mine, but I was unsuccessful in a driving test three years ago and it shattered my confidence. After renewing my learner permit for the fourth time, I decided it was time to try again. From the very first lesson, Derek was very calm, professional, down to earth and a great laugh too. Not only did he re-teach me how to drive, but he helped me grow my confidence. As we approached the test I began to feel more assured of my driving and Derek managed to knock the negativity out of me. Six weeks later, I passed the test. I am so grateful for the guidance that I received from Derek in helping me achieve my goal and would highly recommend Derek and Airport Driving School to anyone!!

Eva Kavanagh

I was with Airport Driving School for about 6 months before passing my test first time. I didn’t have a car and couldn’t practice outside of these lessons, so was quite nervous about failing. My instructor Derek was excellent though – patient, very experienced and knew exactly where I needed to improve. He helped me manage my nerves and I felt confident when taking the test. Would strongly recommend Derek and the Airport Driving School to anybody

Rossa James Gallagher

I recently passed my driving test for the large coach. Amin is a quality instructor. The vehicle is top class, and the pre test that Airport Driving school recommend you take during the lessons really helped me to pass my test.

Brendan Fleming

I had an excellent experience learning to drive a bus at Airport Driving School. My instructor, Sean Nolan was an excellent teacher and helped me become a confident driver. It is over a year ago since I passed my driving test and I have since gone on to get full time employment as a bus driver.

John Nolan

Just passed my coach test under the watchful eye of Nigel. Excellent instructor.
Follow the schools plan and you have an excellent chance of getting the licence that you are looking for. Thanks again.
