National Driving School Avis 

I couldn't recommend Fergal enough. He was nothing but patient, supportive, and accommodating throughout all of my EDT lessons and pre-tests. He always made me feel at ease and helped build my confidence behind the wheel. Thanks again, Fergal!

Chris was such a wonderful instructor and knows exactly what to teach to pass the test. Because of him I went into my test confident and calm, and passed first time with no faults. I can't recommend him enough!

Suzanne was my instructor and was incredible from the start. She’s so lovely and friendly which really put my nerves at ease and was always helpful. I ended up passing with zero faults and wouldn’t have been able to do it without her.

Passed my test today, all thanks to Tom. Just listen to all his instructions, and you are guaranteed a pass.

Did my EDT with Barney, gave the confidence to drive as I have never driven a car before, explaining clearly great experience. Did my pre test with Tom and got the last bit of confidence I really needed. I'm very happy with the help and study material i got from both instructors.
I have passed with first time in Drogheda.🎉🎉🎉
Thank you all very much
I approve this driving school ✅️✅️✅️

Passed on my first attempt in Drogheda all thanks to Barney! He was very patient and realistic and gave me tips and advice that ensured I was confident and prepared.

Paul was a great instructor from start to finish did my pre test and 12 edts with him and he made everything easy to understand passed first try thanks for all your help

Just past my test krzy is a very proffesinal and helpful instructor would recommend.

Only 5 stars allowed so ill have to add an extra myself.After 30yrs working for a company in Navan they shut and I had to find other avenues,so I decided on Bus driving and ADI car instructor route . I was with other schools who wont be mentioned but they did not have the right formula I found and it completely deflated me ,it was full on 'conveyor type' ,'next up please' attitude .
I gave up to be honest.
I returned to the idea later and this time went online and found Ladybird/NDS .The difference was instant and immediate .Clodagh was my point of contact and slotted me in for ADI stage 2 lesson immediately.
Clodagh's enthusiasm,friendliness and confidence building skills are just phenomenal.
My driving habits were changed within the first 10 mins of first lesson and changed forever after nearly 40 years of driving. No other schools came anywhere near this approach,or level .
None of the 'angry /loud/no patience' responses to errors that I found in all the 3 other schools I was with were on display here.None.
Due to calendar then my lessons then were swapped between Clodagh and Kevin . The optimism and positivity that Kevin exudes is infectious and our lessons were such a joy and something to look forward to each week .I completed stage 2 and stage 3 ADI training at first attempt (remember I had totally given up ) which is a huge achievement of which credit has to go to these instructors and the model that they expertly operate by.
I am so looking forward to the next chapter coming and keeping in whole Ladybird/National Driving School family .
Thank you sincerely Clodagh and Kevin.
Its been a life changing encounter .
its 6.5 stars out of 5 from me !

After 20 years I had the privilege to do my practice test with Chris and my goodness it was a success. I have done several practice test with other centers and have not succeeded but after coming across NDS all went to plan. I would highly recommend NDS. Chris is NO.1 5 stars. Shows you with so much patience, he is very very helpful. So happy to pass my test after 20 years

I did 3 pre tests with Lukas coming up to my test. Just passed first time. Lukas was very knowledgeable and easy going. He knew his stuff and would 100% recommend.

I can't recommend Suzanne Whelan Highly enough.
I started as a complete beginner with no driving experience at all, and from my very first lesson, Suzanne was patient, supportive and encouraging. She always took the time to explain everything to me clearly, helping me build up my confidence driving.
I'm absolutely delighted to have passed my driving test first time, and I couldn't have done it without Suzanne's excellent guidance and encouragement. If you are looking for a driving instructor, I would Highly recommend Suzanne.
Thank you so much for all your hard work and support.

I had Thomas as my driving instructor, and I couldn’t recommend a better person than himself. From my first lesson to my last lesson I felt extremely calm during every lesson Thomas also included his own written notes for the theory side of driving and as someone who went into driving with little to no experience I personally found having them notes really boosted my confidence. I’m glad to say because of Thomas I passed my driving test first go

Could not recommend Suzanne Whelan and Tom Hobbs as driving instructors enough, both hugely supportive and constructive throughout all of my lessons. Couldn’t have passed my driving test without all of their help!!

Suzanne was my instructor, she was so patient and lovely throughout the whole experience, Im a nervous driver and she really helped settle the nerves so I could pass my test. Thanks a million!🖤

Did three pre test drives with Suzanne and it made a huge difference to my test! I passed first time with Suzanne (had failed twice before). Her methods and techniques, reassurances and encouragement made all the difference for me. Could not recommend her highly enough. Her attention to detail and even sending on tips and reminders the night before my test - had me in the right frame of mind and all details fresh the morning of my test.

I did my lessons with Paulie , he is an amazing driving instructor. I went from being nervous to drive in a straight line to be proficient in every manovre on the driving test and more. I couldn’t recommend him more to anyone who is worried or uneasy when starting to drive.

Highly recommend Suzanne. She helped me pass my test first time, very encouraging and kind. She’s an excellent instructor.

I had a few pretest lessons with Diane 2 weeks before my test. I passed thanks to all her help and guidance! She is calm, helpful and has a great knowledge of the test/roads. Thank you so much Diane!!
