I recently passed my BE driving test with Blackwater Motors in Mallow, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.
A huge thank you to Sean, my instructor. He was always punctual, patient, and incredibly kind throughout the training. He explained everything clearly, helped build my confidence, and made sure I was well prepared for the test.
Despite being from Kerry... π he was an absolute gentleman! The good-natured banter made the lessons even more enjoyable.
I would highly recommend Blackwater Motors to anyone looking to get their BE licence. Thanks again to Sean for all his helpβI really appreciate it!

Blackwater is definitely something else.
I fully recommend Embie as your Approved Driving Instructor (ADI). I've tried other instructors and they are good too but you will feel more confident with your driving skills if you go with Embie.
Her style is very comprehensive and a bit strict but that is exactly what you will need to pass. For it to be etched in your brain and develop good driving habits.
Worth it π«°πΌ Thank you!

Ryan began his driving lessons with Sean in mid August and by early November was the proud owner of an 'N' plate on the first attempt. Sean is an excellent instructor who is not only professional and well informed but he has a very calming influence and is well in tune with the mind-set of a 17 year old !! And many thanks to Mairead for her input also. We would whole-hardheartedly recommend Blackwater Driving School. Many thanks for all your help.
