Trainers in Dublin

NEW AND WANNABE DRIVERS (INTERACTIVE)

Hi

I know there are few (if any) drivers from southern Ireland on the the site, but could someone recommend a good training outfit in Dublin? :slight_smile:

:slight_smile: Hi BTJ,

I canā€™t actually ā€œrecommendā€ these as such, but Iā€™m quite surprised how few training schools you have available to choose from in Dublin. I got these from ā€˜Golden Pagesā€™ by the way, so my apologies if you already know about these three. :wink:

Naas School of Motoring - no website, but the phone number is (045) 879969

The only other suggestion I have is to go down to the test centre and see if you can get some names or phone numbers off the side of the vehicles on the test area or as they drive out of the gate. :sunglasses:

Hope this helps, - Good Luck.

Thanks Graham

Iā€™ve been set on the idea of using ISM because I did my car lessons with them, so I guess Iā€™ll stick with the devil I know.

Another option for you might be to use a school in the uk.

I had a similar problem (being in west Cornwall) in that the schools around here were overpriced and crap!!!

I trained with these
www.qualitastraining.co.uk

They helped with finding a B&B whilst training and travel arrangements from Stanstead Airport (20 miles away)

I flew with Ryanair from newquay and the flights cost about Ā£30 return.

Iā€™m sure they do regular flights from Dublin to Stanstead as well.

Just another option for you to consider, albeit thinking ā€œoutside the boxā€

Pretty sure they sell Nike in Ireland, if not then you should be able to get Reebok. :laughing:

The ISM site says their trucks have dual controls, never heard of that before!

Thanks for all the replies.

I have looked at the FAS courses before but Iā€™m in full-time work and canā€™t do it.

The last dual-control vwhicle I heard off was an ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  cosworth used for rally training in England somewhere :laughing:
