Noel was my driving instructor. I really enjoyed the lessons but also learnt so much on the professionalism required to drive a bus. So when I did the driving test, nothing confronted me on the road that hadn't been shown to me by Noel.
Aoife took me through all things admin. She fitted schedules to suit me, helped me dealing with the RSA and - like Noel - prepared me for the CPC. I was very confident I'd pass - and I did.
Preparation is key and I was very well prepared. You're in good hands with Advance Drive.

I recently completed a 12-week advanced driving course, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. My instructor, Noel, was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the entire process. He provided clear guidance and helped build my confidence behind the wheel with every lesson. Thanks to his excellent teaching, I felt fully prepared going into the test—and I’m delighted to say I passed today. I’m really grateful for the experience and would highly recommend advanced driving lessons to anyone looking to improve their skills.
Thanking everyone in advanced driving

My instructor Alan is great. He's a very knowledgeable, calm and clear instructor. Which makes him the perfect teacher. Also, apart from that, the RSA had done a last minute cancellation of my driving test and I submitted a compensation form to the RSA. As expected the RSA were very reluctant to accept it, but luckily Philip and the school were brilliant in helping me get it resolved. Philip even called them and 2 weeks later I got my refund. Overall a great school and I couldn't recommend them enough.

A big thank you to everyone at Advance Drive. Very professional company to deal with from start to finish.
Aoife on reception is prompt in replying and highly efficient to deal with. I rang Aoife needing two sets of trailer lessons, pre tests and hire for test. I had 2 weeks (at most) from when I first called to when my driving test was. Aoife made some early slots available (7am) and accommodated all our needs.
Michael was our instructor and was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Highly knowledgeable of test routes and will have you well prepped for the driving test. There wasnt a bit of road done in the test that wasn't covered 10 times before in lessons. 2/2 passes on the day. Worth noting that the jeep used for the test is a 25 reg automatic, one of the easiest and nicest vehicles iv driven. Automatic gears and electric handbreak, let's you focus on the test and removes a lot of additional steps otherwise needed. I'll be back for the rigid next, cheers lads👍
