My daughter recently passed her driving test on the first attempt after learning to drive with Barry. We found his service to be excellent- the process was very smooth, he always replied promptly to any messages, he was always on time for lessons and he was friendly and professional. We recommend him to all our friends who need a driving instructor. Thank you Barry!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

NO! Unlike many schools, all our lessons are conducted on a one to one basis and you will not be sharing your lessons with other pupils.

There are many factors that determine how many lessons you will end up needing. Age, gender, attitude, personality and the ability to practise when not in lessons all contribute.


Once you have had a few lessons, we will be better able to judge this for you.

Yes. In order to conduct driving lessons on a professional basis, all instructors must be registered with the DIA.


Some schools use ‘PDI’s (practising driving instructors). These are registered instructors but who have not yet passed the final part of their instructors test. These will display a pink triangular sticker in the car window.


I am a fully qualified instructor and as such, display a green, hexagonal sticker in the car.

Of course you can. The less time between lessons will help you learn quicker as you will need to spend less time acclimatising yourself to the car each time. Please call to discuss availability.

Yes, many pupils find it beneficial to have longer lessons and, depending upon available time slots, 1.5 and 2 hour lessons can be arranged.

We will keep track of your progress and discuss this with you as appropriate. We will let you know when we feel you are ready to start thinking about booking a test.
