Ciaran, Thank you so much for all your help in preparation for my driving test. You are a fantastic instructor and with your advice and this fantastic website for test preparation, I could confidently sit my test and pass with flying colours! I'll be recommending you to everyone I know. Thanks again.

Having failed the test twice in the last two years I had quite lost my confidence in ever passing it. My friend recommended to me A and C Driving School and in a matter of few lessons Ciaran had managed to eliminate several of my bad habits. I am quite stubborn, but he is an excellent instructor and his clear and concise guidelines stick in your mind. I also did a pretest with Andrew that helped me to see my driving with a more objective perspective. After barely 6 weeks with them I am happy to say I passed my driving test yesterday with great results. My confidence driving is boosted and as soon as I have the new license in my hand I'll get some motorway and horizontal parking lessons with them.

Hi, I had undergone 3 hours of pre-test lessons with Ciaran at Finglas and passed it with ease. I appreciate the patience and best instruction standard I received.

I passed my test yesterday in Dundalk after a series of lessons with Ciaran. He made sure any bad habits I had were obliterated by the test day! His instruction was very clear and easily understandable. I'm sure I'll be using his tips for years to come. I also took a pre-test with Andrew - this was hugely beneficial as it familiarised me with the test scenario. All in all, I would highly recommend A&C driving school.

I passed my test in Finglas today thanks to Ciaran. Ciaran is really an excellent instructor, friendly and very professional, he is great at explaining things and never once did he make me feel stupid. From my first lesson with him I immediately felt relaxed and at ease, he gave me lots of confidence, definitely the reason I passed my test. The pre-test I did with Andrew was very helpful. Thanks a lot to both of you. Highly recommending Ciaran to everyone who wants not only to pass the test but also to be a safe driver. Thanks once again for your help and your encouragement. May God bless you.

Today I have passed my driving test. I have been driving for more than 10 years in a different country but as I am living in Ireland I wanted to get the Irish driving license. I took a few lessons with Ciaran to pass the test and I highly recommend him as an instructor, he was always very kind and patient and I have enjoyed the lessons, he a really good instructor and person. Thank you so much Ciaran!

Having failed my driving test twice I was desperately looking for a driving instructor who would help me pass. I was delighted when a friend passed on Ciaráns number. He was such a patient instructor and was so very encouraging in the lessons. He gave me great tips for the test which I subsequently passed on New Years Eve. Ciarán definetly made me feel confident and comfortable with my driving skills. I would have no hesitation recommending him to friend!!

I Passed my driving test in Finglas this morning. I honestly don't believe I would have got it if it was not for Andrew. He made me feel confident in my ability to not only drive but drive well. I would have absloutely no hesitation recommending Andrew to anyone. Thanks again Andrew.
John Hogan


Thanks a lot to both Ciaran and Andrew. Ciaran in his cool and calm style got my basics right. Then I had one pretest with Andrew and he made me feel confident. So I got through today from Finglas. I would recommend both the instructors to everyone.

Thank you so much Ciaran and Andrew! I passed my test this morning and could not have done it with out your patience and thoroughness. Ciaran is an excellent teacher and put me at ease from the start, also pretests with Andrew helped my confidence no end. I will most definitely be reccomending A&C driving school to everyone! Many Thanks.

I passed my driving test following three pre-tests with Ciaran. I found him to be patient and thoughful and felt at ease with him as an instructor. He pointed out exactly where I was going wrong and pointed me in the right direction. I would recommend him highly. I am absolutely delighted with the result. Thanks Ciaran.
Mark Kane



Hey Ciaran, Thank you very much for all your help and pointers. I am happy to tell you I passed my Driving test last week, the advice you gave me really helped and I'm sure without it I would not of succeeded. Thanks once more.

I passed my driving test at the end of October, thanks to Ciaran. Ciaran is the most patient instructor you will ever come across - he will go over any aspect no matter how many times it takes, and everything that comes up in the test was well covered by Ciaran time and time again. Ciaran's friendliness and sense of humour are a huge plus and you feel relaxed and confident during lessons, but you also learn how to drive in a safe manner, which hopefully will become a lifetime habit. I can not recommend Ciaran highly enough- the whole process is an enjoyable experience thanks to him. So Ciaran thank you so much for all your help and encouragement - I could never have passed the test without you and will recommend you to everyone I know. Cheers!

I had failed my test twice and was a bag of nerves when I found Ciaran. He calmed me right down and had me sailing round the roads within a couple of lessons and really helped with my confidence and skills. I highly recommend his reverse-round-the-corner tactics! After a couple of pre tests with him I've now passed my test and I'm delighted. I would highly recommend him as a professional, courteous, calming, all round good guy who teaches great driving.

I passed my driving test two weeks ago in Finglas. I took my lessons from Ciaran. Ciaran is a very friendly instructor with a lot of experience and practical knowledge. He is very patient and he teaches safe driving to all learner drivers. He is very understanding and good at heart who sincerely wants you to pass. He made me aware of my mistakes and corrected me in right time. He is very pleasent. He boosted my confidence and I improved loads. I now enjoy safe driving as Ciaran always does... LOADS OF THANKS CIARAN... keep up your good job. I would strongly recommend Ciaran to all who want to pass their drving test and enjoy driving..
once again thank you Ciaran and God bless...

Hi, I passed my test on Tuesday in Finglas, with the help of Ciaran. He is a Brilliant instructor, really friendly and very professional. If there was anything I wasn't confident about doing or didn't understand, it wasn't a problem for Ciaran to keep telling or showing me how to do it. I always looked forward to my driving lessons with him and I always felt that I was making progress. I felt very comfortable and safe. Ciaran's approach to teaching was friendly and informative. I had fun but I was learning at the same time! To sum up!! Thanks Again Ciaran, I will definitely recommend you to all I know.

Hey Ciaran I want to thank you so much for all your effort in the driving lessons, you have been a gift from God to me. You were so patient with me, regardless of my bad driving attitude, you never gave up but kept encouraging me and in just 3 lessons I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST TODAY after failling it 2 times already, and after passing through various teachers that just couldnt help me, BUT you did I can't begin to tell you, while I was on today on the test, your voice was all I was hearing, telling me all I should do and not to do. Honestly it was magic, I kept hearing your voice in my head and I was so happy it worked. THANKS and Thanks again. You are a star AND THERE IS NO ONE LIKE YOU.
Ciaran I don't know how you do it or did it, but it sure is a gift that you can really change my feeling about passing a test to the fact that I really have passed it today I just can't stop thanking you my joy today as no boundries and its all thanks to you.

I passed my test today and I know(you know it too)that without your genuine guidance Andrew, this would have been yet another dissapointing day for me. My previous experience with various instructors were completely different from your way of learning. Your experience of being an examiner before probably made all the difference. I want to convey this to you now Andrew that I had decided to take just one class from you because I was not sure if opting for a new instructor was a sensible thing to do. From the very first class, your style of teaching stood apart ..... in the way that you helped me concentrate repeatedly on the things that I was doing wrong, until I mastered it and made it my strength. My money was well spent. I now know that anybody who gets trained by you will not only pass the test but will be a safe driver for the rest of their lives. There is no doubt in my mind that you will do the same for every pupil that seeks your help and I will recommend you to everyone I know. During every lesson I felt that you really wanted me to pass the test and you gave more than your 100%. I cannot thank you enough. I hope that you will continue to be what you are. We need more people like you Andrew.
Thank yoy.

I had had many different driving instructors to start out with when I first started driving, however I found that Ciarán was the most beneficial instructor for me. He provided continuity, and was calm and supportive, I found myself improving after every lesson. The day of my driving test Ciarán turned to me and said "oh by the way they've changed the test slightly! But don't worry about it, I've already been teaching you everything that they are now enforcing anyway!!!" So I had nothing to worry about. Ciarán really helped me become the confident, competant, safe driver that I am today. I would definitely reccomend him to everyone. If you not only want to pass your test, but be a safe, confident driver then this is the instructor for you!!!

I wanted to express my appreciation to you Andrew for the Driving lessons. Andrew is a superb trainer with an excellent grasp of what is required and how to train and prepare his students to pass. Andrew got me fully prepared and ready for my test and gave me the confidence, I'm over the moon because I passed my Driving test with the help of Andrew. The quality of training was excellent, very professional and great value for money. I will always recommend you to others. Andrew, you rock! Thanks!.

Having tried on several occaions over 22 years to learn how to drive, I decided to give it one last go. I booked the lessons with Ciaran and knew from lesson one that with his approach it might be possible. Ciaran is very professional and it is obvious that he is a qualified instructor. Within weeks my confidence and my driving ability had improved and I was driving safely which was always my main concern. Ciaran take notes and keeps records of your progress which is a great confidence booster and allows you to practice on your weaker areas. I passed my driving test first time, ten months after taking my first lessson. Again my preparation with Ciaran was excellent and everything I was asked to do during the test had already been well covered during the lessons. Every lesson was money well spent and an investment in what I hope will be many years of safe competent driving. I cannot recommend this instructor highly enough and consider myself very lucky to have finally found someone who was genuinely interested in getting me driving and passing my test. I would urge anyone who is hesitant to give it a go with this instructor, you wont be disappointed!

Last Summer I had eye surgery and it left my confidence shaken and I was unsure if I would ever drive again. The surgeon recommended no driving for six months and so, out of practice and nervous, I decided to give driving a go and took some lessons with Ciaran . His bright positive attitude was just what I needed. The lessons were hugely beneficial to me. After four lessons I had regained my confidence and a lot of very useful information. I strongly recommend Ciaran.

A&C driving school was recommended to be by a friend. I was a nervous driver & from the very first lesson my instructor made with feel at ease, it was his enthusiasm, patience & encouragement that made my lessons enjoyable & lesson by lesson I felt my confidence grow. I found this driving school to be highly professional & reliable & I have now passed my test. I have recommended A&C driving school to all my family & friends as I know that they will get the best possible tuition – not only will they teach you how to drive but they teach you how to drive well !!!!
