Irish School of Motoring - ISM Bewertungen 

Worst driving school in Dublin - stay away from them. One of the instructors who was responsible for teaching me how to drive was often very rude towards me just because I couldn't understand his unclear directions. One day, we almost got hit by a car when he grabbed the steering wheel from my hands and turned without checking the mirrors. He had told me to stay in the middle lane, which I did, but then said I was supposed to turn left. He was on his phone, not paying attention to what was happening.

I called customer service to reschedule lessons with another instructor, but they never sent emails or text messages confirming they were on their way to pick me up. As I live far from the collection point, I finished work without any confirmation and left. For the remaining lessons, customer service made an appointment for 6 PM. I replied to their email saying I couldn't wait at my workplace for 2 hours to get the lesson and asked if they could change it to 4 PM or schedule another day. Customer service never changed the appointment or sent an updated schedule to their instructor. At 6 PM, the instructor called me, surprised that I wasn't there.

In my last lesson, I waited for 30 minutes, and again, the instructor never showed up. Once again, I tried to call customer service and explained the whole situation. They asked for a day to sort it out with their management. I gave them a week and a half, and today I called again, still waiting for something that might not even happen. I've wasted my time and lost my money due to incompetent people who aren't able to do their job properly. Furthermore, I'll be consulting with a lawyer about this matter.

Just passed my test first time today! Absolutely delighted!! Did lessons with Niamh and she helped me so much, made me feel so comfortable and so confident! Was there for me on the day which helped calm my nerves. Will be recommending her to everyone who asks me! Couldn’t have done it without her!

I’ve just finished my 12 lessons with one of the instructors Adeola she was the nicest instructor I could have gotten and made me feel very comfortable in driving and was very patient with me. Adeola was very in depth in everything that I needed to know with the safety of driving. She was very calm and knew exactly what I needed to improve on and helped me fix them straight away. I’m very confident now in driving and am very grateful to have gotten a great instructor thank you Adeola.

The instructor was not able to teach. He had an aggressive attitude and his style was to boss around rather than trust the student. If I had followed his bossy orders we would have had an accident or at least a near miss. I am referring to an actual incident. His style was nice and then nasty and back to nice and then nasty. On and on. He did not create a constructive learning experience.
It was a waste of money. Avoid. Avoid Avoid.

I recently passed my driving test and I couldn’t have done it without my amazing instructor, Adeola! She took me through all 12 EDT lessons and additional pre-test lesson, and was incredibly calm, patient, and encouraging throughout the entire journey.

Her clear explanations and expert knowledge really helped build my confidence on the road. She was always on time, professional, and genuinely cared about my progress. I always felt supported, never rushed, and I truly appreciated her positive attitude even when I made mistakes.

If you're looking for a dedicated and supportive driving instructor, I couldn't recommend her enough!

Honestly couldn’t be anymore grateful for my driving instructor Niamh, she made me feel so calm and definitely gave me such a big confidence boost in my driving! I couldn’t have done it without her! Thanks to Niamh for all your patience and support I Passed 1st time in Charlestown!

I passed my driving test yesterday at the Tallaght centre, and I can’t thank my instructor, Adeola from ISM, enough. I took a few refresher lessons and a mock test with her, and she pinpointed my mistakes with great accuracy, ensuring I corrected them before the real test. She’s extremely professional and always punctual. I highly recommend her if you’re looking to perfect your driving skills.

I paid for the 12 hour courses, and the instructor is Adeola. She is nice and our communication was good.

But our course only lasted around 10 hours because she had to leave early twice without any compensation. Every time when we practicing, we had a very long time break that in unnecessary.
Meanwhile, recently while I was preparing for my road test, I realized that she didn't tell me many exam tips.

Very happy with ISM, I past my test first time and could not have done it without my instructor Niamh.

My instructor was Niamh from ISM driving school.

Straight away I knew I was in amazing hands. Niamh was so knowledgeable, patient and helpful throughout all my lessons. I felt confident going in to each lesson and looking forward to the next one.

With that being said I applied for my test as soon as the 6month period mark came, applied in April and got my test booked for July 9th (today) which was very quick. Thankfully, I passed first time!

I couldn’t thank enough to Niamh for all the guidance she’s given me. Couldn’t ask for anyone better to get my lessons with! Once again thank you Niamh! :)

I had a brilliant experience with Adeola, she was calm and never made me feel stressed or under pressure, 10/10 would recommend her!

I completed my 12 EDT lessons with Adeola and she was absolutely lovely. Patient, professional, and always encouraging. Highly recommend her!

I am delighted to be posting this today. I've passed my driving test after a good few years of not driving and having to go resit the theory test and start all over again . But I couldn't have done it without the kindness and expertise of two top class instructors Rodney o Brien and Niamh Brady. From the bottom of my heart thank you both so much .
"It's never to late to start again".

I did my 12 EDT lessons with Adeola. She was a lovely teacher, very relaxed and helpful and as a total beginner - she put me right at ease. Happy to say I passed my driving test first time largely in part to my lessons with Adeola. Thanks a mill, Sarah

Adeola was the loveliest instructor. She was so sweet!! Passed my driving test first time with her. She explained everything so well and gives great feedback. Would highly recommend her ! - Izza

I had an excellent experience learning with Adeola . She’s patient, clear, and made every lesson feel comfortable and confident. Thanks to her teaching, Highly recommend her to anyone learning to drive.

Adeola was a lovely driving instructor. Would definitely recommend her to anyone. She put you at ease and made sure you were comfortable with all the manoeuvres .

My daughter prepaid & prebooked her 12 driving lessons about 5 weeks in advance. From day one the lesson time was changed and he still turned up late. Lesson two just the day before he cancelled the two hour lesson completely, when my daughter tried to Reschedule he could not accommodate her at all That week. I phoned him as I could not get a answer all morning from the office of the ISM. When he eventually phoned me I found him
Very rude, little English, only then told me he doesn’t do
Weekends/evenings and works only one or two days a week. I eventually got onto
The office where I was then told he’s the only instructor in the area, nobody else available and only solution offered was a refund minus €100 for the double lesson my daughter had. Now she is back trying to secure automatic lessons elsewhere but no
Joy. What a waste of her time and money especially from
The Irish school of motoring… so my advice is ask before u pay up in full do they do weekends/evenings, are their other drivers in the area plus is their English any good. Would not recommend ISM, go elsewhere maybe smaller and local Instructor.

This is the best driving school! William Lambe is the best instructor ever and I passed my driving test on first go. He is such a supportive person I highly recommend having such a positive attitude around during driving test. Thanks

I took 10 driving lessons with Adeola Omitunde through ISM, and it was a complete waste of money. Adeola was consistently late to lessons and would often finish early, cutting our time short. Halfway through the lesson, we would take an unnecessarily long break where she would spend time on her phone and fill out the EDT booklet, which I later learned was supposed to be completed at the end of the lesson. I felt my time and money were not being respected.

The content of the lessons was just as disappointing. We drove around the same area every week without any progression or introduction of new skills. It felt more like a casual drive for her as she laid back in the seat, than a structured learning experience for me. After completing 10 lessons, I attempted to contact Adeola for the remaining two lessons, but she ignored my messages for six months. Eventually, I reached out to ISM directly, and they reassigned me to a new instructor, Saad, who was professional, punctual, and actually willing to teach me the skills I needed. This however, still did not make up for the €545 that went down the drain. I now have had to pay for more lessons to make up for the 10 wasted due to the incompetence of a supposedly well-trusted company.
I regret accepting the lady as my driving instructor. I would NOT recommend her to anyone. Stay away from her!
