Adam Mcnally

“I passed my driving test today all thanks to IN Gear I had previously done lessons with another instructor and had a very bad experience. I did another 12 lessons with IN Gear and from the very first one the difference in the lessons was unbelievable. They are brilliant Instructors and are so passionate about what they do. IN Gear built up my confidence and helped me get rid of the bad habits I had. And had me laughing throughout the lessons and I thoroughly enjoyed myself while still learning how to drive properly. I would 100% recommend IN Gear to anyone wanting to pass their driving test.”

Erica Mchugh

Being someone who suffers with anxiety issues, driving seemed so daunting to me. IN Gear driving school has helped me hugely , giving me the confidence I needed to drive and to pass my test. I would recommend IN Gear to anyone and especially those that are extra nervous like myself. I can now say that I actually enjoy driving and it was a privilege to learn from such a passionate and encouraging instructor.

I started learning to drive about 3 years ago and had lessons with 4 different instructors. They all had good driving skills, but not all of them knew how to teach. Gerry is the one who really knows how to guide you and help you work on your weak points. He is patient and approachable. When I did my driving test, I was very nervous and my mind went blank, but everything Gerry taught me had already become muscle memory, which helped me pass on my first try. I actually found him through a random Google search, and I feel super lucky that he became my instructor. I’ll always remember what he taught me and do my best to be a responsible driver. I’d definitely recommend Gerry to anyone looking for lessons in North Dublin.
Graze Castillo
Passed my exam today! thankful to Ian for patiently teaching me to drive safely on the road. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a driving instructor👌🏻
Orla Ratty
Passed my test with In Gear this morning! Sean was such a great instructor, kept my nerves away and I couldn’t have done it without him!
Bill French
Gerry is without a doubt the best instructor I’ve ever had and I’ve had 3
He has a calming personality and makes you believe you can do it from day one. Everything he teaches you will make you a safe driver and make you more than capable of passing your test.

I highly recommend Gerry if you’re looking to pass your driving test I couldn’t have done it without him.

I’m so grateful to Norah for all their help and support. They were patient, clear, and encouraging throughout my lessons, always making sure I understood everything step by step.

Julius Erik Luzon
I recently passed my driving test, and my pre-test lesson with Petra Duzdova played a big role. Her teaching style is focused yet light and refreshing, which instantly put me at ease. She explains things clearly, gives practical guidance, and knows how to remove the nerves before the test. I left the lesson feeling confident and well-prepared. I’d highly recommend Petra to anyone getting ready for their driving test. 👍
Facundo Grossi Madcur
I passed my test thanks to Jemima!! Thanks for your energy and commitment in supporting me along this journey! 😄
jodie sherlock
I had a great experience with John, he thought me very useful tips during the lessons and the pre test really helped me to pass first time
Eve Sheedy
Big thank you to Catherine from In Gear who helped me pass my test first time in Killester. She was patient, kind and helped me with good explanations while driving.
Sean McGirr
I passed my Driving Test thanks to In Gear and had a wonderful instructor in John. Every lesson I felt that I made a lot of progress and felt positively with clear guidance on what I needed to work on in between lessons. John's reminders to breathe (in multiple languages) helped me through the test!
Faris Haju
I recently completed my 6 reduced EDT lessons with In-Gear Motor Training School, and my instructor was Aaron. He is an excellent instructor—very professional, patient, and easy to get along with.

The whole process was seamless. Aaron scheduled me in quickly and accommodated my request to complete all 6 lessons over just 2 days (3 lessons each day). He was always on time, picked me up, and dropped me back after each class.

During the lessons, he explained the rules of the road and car handling clearly, pointed out my mistakes, and gave me practical tips on how to improve before my driving test. His guidance has really boosted my confidence behind the wheel. On top of that, he’s a genuinely nice guy—we had plenty of laughs along the way, which made the learning experience even more enjoyable.

Highly recommend In-Gear and especially Aaron if you’re looking for a great driving instructor!
Arko Sarkar
I passed my test on the first attempt and I could not have done it without my instructor Milan’s guidance! He was super patient and always made me feel confident behind the wheel. Lessons were very well structured and focused on building confidence. Highly recommend Milan to anyone looking for a reliable instructor.
Cathal Kennedy Hughes
Had my lessons with Catherine who is an excellent instructor. Highly recommend this school for anyone who is looking to learn to drive.
Adam Forbes
Great experience all around very calm and understanding would recommend to anybody and got me a 1st time pass thanks to Cathrine

After a nightmare experience I had with an ADI who worked for his own company, who wasn't ready to teach anything, demanded money upfront but not doing the lessons quickly (took 23 days to do 6 lessons i.e just 3days of reduced EDT), I failed the driving test. I took 4 hours of pre test lessons with an experienced ADI at Finglas through InGear driving school. Ed from InGear driving school was extremely experienced and treated me kindly, answered all my questions, was very cooperative. Moreover, he constantly encouraged me and boosted my morale. This is the kind of ADI you need to be able to not just pass the test but to drive confidently after getting your license. I passed with almost no faults at Dun laghoire test center today. I highly recommend students to go to reputed schools like In Gear and do not choose lesser known instructors even if they have high ratings on google. Its very misleading and its better you save yourself the heartache. Ed once again thank you. All the best to everyone who is looking to get their full license.

Very good instructor. Passed with ease!
Sarah Storey
Norah was a brilliant teacher, always calm and clear in her instructions, and so patient. So grateful to have had her help in the lead up to my test.
Lefika Babedi
I’m absolutely thrilled to share that I’ve passed my road test. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to IN GEAR DRIVING SCHOOL and especially to my amazing instructor, Paul. Your patience, guidance, and encouragement made all the difference. You helped me build the confidence and skills I needed more especially in the last few minutes before my final test and I’m so grateful for the support every step of the way. Thank you for being such a fantastic part of this journey this achievement wouldn’t have been possible without you.

Thank you so much Paul🙏🙏🙏🙏
Lalit Verma
I recently passed my driving test in Tallaght and I want to give a big thanks to Daniel at In Driving School. I did all my EDT lessons with him and the experience was excellent from start to finish.

Daniel was always easy to communicate with and very flexible when it came to scheduling lessons, which really helped with my busy routine. He constantly gave feedback after each session and kept track of my progress throughout the process.

We also covered the test routes around Tallaght as part of the lessons, which really helped me feel more confident on the day of the test.

I highly recommend Daniel if you’re looking for a reliable and professional instructor in the Tallaght or Lucan area.
Leah Quinn
Really rate in gear driving school, I did three pre tests with Catherine before passing my test first time in Killester, she was really helpful with lots of tips and overall improving my confidence driving.
George Marston
I am very happy that i made the decision to do my driving lessons with In Gear, who have some amazing and very professional instructors, such as my instructor, Catherine.
From laying out the foundations of doing the basics on day one, to adding the layers and layers of maneuvers and positoning as each lesson was ticked and completed. It really could not have been made any clearer and easy to follow and thanks to all this, I have passed my driving test.
Thank you Catherine and thank you In Gear for helping me get on the road, and I would highly encourage anyone, from the beginner going into college and needing to learn, to those who have their lessons done but want to brush up before their test, to definitely consider In Gear to be the one that gets you across the finish line.
Mother Earth Wellness Co
I did my lessons with john Wickham in howth . he's an excellent teacher , v patient. i also did some additional pre test lessons and a pre test with him which really increased my confidence going into the test and i passed first time ! thanks John , will recommend you to any learners 👌
P T
Ya-hoo! I passed in my first attempt! 🎉
Jackie Davies from Ingear Dublin was an amazing instructor from Day 1 of my EDT lessons. She explained road signs clearly, gave me practical driving tips, and important safety precautions. Jackie carefully examined my driving pattern, spotted every mistake, and worked with me until I fixed them. Her patience and encouragement built my confidence and got me test-ready.
sarahjane rooney
I would definitely recommend in gear. John is a fantastic instructor. he is dedicated and paitent.
Coxybaws
Had 12 lessons and some pre-tests with James. Couldnt be a better or more helpful instructor and I passed thanks to his encouragement and help.
Mike Kelly
Even though I have a full licence I hadn’t driven in 14 years. I needed to get back on the road and given how driving has changed I decided a few refresher lessons would be a good idea. Dan my instructor was superb, patient, encouraging and inspired confidence in me. I did 4 lessons with each one focused on getting used to the different road speeds/junctions etc. my last lesson was on the motorway and again Dan was encouraging to get up to 120kms and also manoeuvre through the lanes and exits. I can highly recommend him for any lessons whether you’re a first timer or just need a bit of a refresher.
Stian Silseth
I passed the driving test on the first go with their help. The pre test lesson on the day was also very helpful in getting me in the zone for the test. They know what you need to do to pass and they will get you there. I highly recommend them.
catherine finnegan
I can’t thank John enough for his amazing instruction and support. Thanks to him, I passed my driving test on the first attempt! His pre-test lessons were especially valuable — focused, calming, and exactly what I needed to build my confidence. John is patient, professional, and explains everything clearly, which made learning to drive safely a really positive experience. If you’re looking for an instructor who genuinely cares about your success and knows how to get you test-ready, John is the one to go to!
Caroline Zbroch
I passed my driving test 12 years ago back in Poland but haven’t driven since. I’m a very anxious driver, and getting back on the road felt almost impossible until I met Joe. From the very first lesson, he was calm, patient, and incredibly encouraging. He never made me feel rushed or judged, and he explained things in a way that made sense to me. Little by little, my confidence grew, and I actually started enjoying driving again! I can’t thank Joe enough for helping me overcome my fears. He’s not just a great instructor - he is someone who truly cares about his students. I highly recommend In Gear Driving School!
Sam Nolan
I have been with Joe for an about 2 months now and honestly have never felt more comfortable with driving! When I first started with him I was a nervous wreck and thought I’d never be able to overcome my fear of driving! Joe is very patient, helpful, and persistent when it comes to how he wants you to drive! He’s very chill and easy going which makes it easier to learn as you don’t feel uncomfortable, Joe has thought me a lot in the time I’ve been with him and I couldn’t recommend him enough, he created a really positive and comfortable experience for driving , overall he’s a nice man who wants to help as many people as he can become the best drivers , he’s the best at what he does
Mary McDonnell
ED the driver instructor is a credit to the In Gear company. Brilliant instructor. Highly recommend this company
Surya S Muraleekumar
I’m beyond grateful to Vicki from InGear for helping me pass my driving test in Dun Laoghaire on the very first attempt! I took all my EDT sessions with her and from the very first lesson she was patient, reassuring, and always believed in me, even when I doubted myself. She explained everything so clearly and made each lesson enjoyable while building my confidence step by step. Vicki doesn’t just teach you to pass the test - she teaches you to be safe, confident driver for life. Her encouragement and support made all the difference, and I couldn’t have done without her. Highly recommended!
Nicole Martin
I would highly recommend In Gear Driving School. I had Sean as my instructor for 2 pre tests in Navan. He was patient, easy to talk to, and explained everything clearly. I appreciated how calm and encouraging he was. I passed my driving test first time thanks to Seans guidance.
Rebecca Hughes
I’m so delighted I passed my driving test first time thanks to the amazing lessons Sean at In Gear Driving School taught me. Each lesson was enjoyable, I always felt relaxed which was really important for me to find in an instructor as I was always nervous about driving but he gave me the confidence I needed to pass first time! Thank you
Glen Quinn
I passed my test on the first try in Raheny today and I couldn’t have done it without the help and guidance of John. He is a fantastic driving instructor who is always calm and helps you build confidence in your own driving
Nicolle Cysneiros
I had such a great time during my lessons with my instructor Paul. I already had a driver's license from my home country, but I had to start the whole process from scratch in Ireland. Paul patiently explained what would be evaluated during the test and kindly showed me how to adapt my driving style to be able to pass on my first try.

The whole process, from the moment I fill out the initial contact form on the website until my test day, was very frictionless, with rapid responses and such care and respect for the student. I can't recommend In Gear enough!
Paul Sutcliffe
Passed my driving test today in Tallaght after a few tune up lessons with Petra from In Gear. Can’t thank her enough for her help and support as I know for a fact I wouldn’t have gotten over the nerves and anxiety without her. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough in taking you from any point and getting you to a passed test.
Evin Paul
I had an excellent learning experience with the Ingear instructor Hafiz Muhammed Zahid over the last couple of months. The results of his valuable and detailed lessons helped me pass the driving test in Finglas in the first attempt itself. If anyone is looking for a detail oriented and calm instructor I would suggest Zahid and Ingear. Best in town.
Marvis Emonina
Absolutely wonderful experience with Jemima who instructed me, calmed me when i was extremely nervous and was very patient during my lessons. Couldn’t have been happier with her! Passed my driving test in one of the most difficult routes on my first attempt!
Gavin Nolan
It's was a amazing experience. With great instructors .i would recommend IN GEAR DRIVING SCHOOL for people learning to driving and getting the full licence. I passed my driving test first time .
Pedro Giorgi Junior
The best in Ireland! Great staff, driving instructors and cars. Recommend 100%! Today I passed the driving test and In Gear was definitely the right choice to achieve this great result. Thanks to instructor James and all the In Gear Team.
Keelin B
I had an amazing experience learning to drive with In Gear! From my very first lesson, my instructor Paul was incredibly patient and supportive. He gave clear, helpful feedback every step of the way, and it’s obvious how passionate and dedicated he is to teaching. Paul really helped build my confidence on the road, and I always felt like I was learning in a calm, encouraging environment. I couldn’t recommend In Gear and Paul enough.

Edit : Just passed my driving test first time today, so delighted and couldn't have done it without the help of Paul and In Gear.
Katelyn Lewis
Passed first time today, can’t thank Sinead enough. I have had the best experience possible with in gear, would recommend 10/10
Jake Leith
I really enjoyed my lessons with Jimmy, he was very calm and understanding of my nerves, and was happy to take everything slowly. I went in not knowing anything about how to drive and he built up my confidence over time, being very patient with me. Thanks so much for my lessons!
