I can't recommend Umar or Global Driving School enough. He has infinite patience, a hugely calm and reassuring demeanour and an ability to coach/teach that i've rarely encountered before. He turned me from a poor driver who was inevitably going to fail into a confident and very competent driver who sailed through the test first time.. Thank you Global Driving School.

I can highly recommend Umar as a driver instructor! My nerves were killing me and after driving for 10 years in Brazil he was able to give me the best tips and all classes were very valuable to make sure None of my bad habits would jeopardise the test. I passed in Churchtown, first time pass, and I couldn’t be happier! 🚗thanks Umar!!

Billy Patton recommends Global Driving School. 26 February at 04:34 ·
I 💯 % recommend Umar. He was as professional from Start to Finish. He showed me everything I needed to know. Explained as easy as could be. Without a doubt I owe this 1st time pass to him. Thank you Umar, for all your help! Both whilst driving and with questions I had through texts. Would have no issue/hesitation to recommend this Service. Brilliant
Naveen Bapu recommends Global Driving School. 26 February at 03:06 ·
Firstly I would like to say a big Thank You to Umar as I passed my driving test in the first attempt in the Finglas Test Center. The classes with Umar was really valuable as his communication style is very clear and Umar exactly pointed out the gaps in my driving. Umar is also very structured in a way where he drew a lot of potential road scenarios on paper during the lessons which served as a great reference for me later during practice. Umar also gave me that much required morale boost just before the test which went a long way in my case as these tests can be very intimidating. I would definitely recommend Umar for anyone looking to do their driving tests in Ireland. :)
Renato Sutti recommends Global Driving School. 18 February at 14:17 ·
If you're looking for an instructor that that will get you on the road and ready for your test, Umar is your guy. I highly recommend Umar for either you're a new driver or someone with experience on the road. He will tailor your lessons according to your experience and make your test preparations very efficient.
Hersh Rao recommends Global Driving School. 13 March
I gave my driving test 3 times and could not pass. A friend of mine told me to contact Umar. I gave him a call and he advised 4 hours driving classes with him. I immediately said yes and took all the classes (including a pretest). Everything else is History. I passed today with just 2 grade 2 mistakes. All thanks to the teaching techniques of Umar. Believe me, he actually is the best.
Umar Farooq recommends Global Driving School. 1 February ·
One lesson and passed my test straightaway. Very professional and detailed feed back given prior to the test which helped me throughout my driving test. I almost postponed my test but GBS motivated me to go ahead. I would highly recommend GBS. Thanks to team GBS, 5* service.
Ronan Mcgrath reviewed Global Driving School – 5 star 1 February ·
Thanks to umar I passed my test first time, had a bit of a gap between my lessons but umar was able to help me get back into the correct mindset for the test and concentrated on my weak points, I highly recommend global driving school to anyone looking for a driving instructor who is so easy to get on with, explains the correct way of driving in a straight forward and easy way and really drives you to get your test first time
Krisy Neligan recommends Global Driving School. 21 January ·
Umar is an amazing driving instructor. My driving only really clicked when I started learning with him. He's super calm, patient and just a really nice guy. He explains things thoroughly and helps you understand the rules of the road clearly. I passed today, with a near clear sheet, and this is down to Umar's excellent instruction. Thanks Umar! Would definitely recommend to any learner driver.
Emily Nolan recommends Global Driving School. 11 January ·
Umar you are an amazing instructor and human being..Thank you so much for all your help.I would recommend Umar 1000per cent..you will not get a better instructor...Keep up the good work ..thank you...
Varun Nahata recommends Global Driving School. 10 January ·
Umar Khan has been a big support in preparing for the final test. He takes genuine interest in your driving skills and not only prepares you to get a license but also to become a good driver. There was a lot of attention to detail given in all the manoeuvres during practice and in the numerous lessons i did with him never did i feel that he doesn’t care about what’s going on. To anyone reading my review i would 100% recommend him and the driving school he is affiliated to. Thanks a million 🚗
Ali S Donnelly recommends Global Driving School. 9 January ·
I would completely recommend Umar as a driving Instructer! I learned so much thanks to his help and I can honestly say he was great all round - evident when I passed on my first go! 🚗
Gopakishore Kochattil recommends Global Driving School. 27 December 2018 ·
Excellent lessons. Cleared the test on my first attempt. Very useful insights and advices to prepare for the test day. Thanks to Umar Khan for his patience and guidance throughout the journey. I highly recommend the driving school without a doubt. Thanks again Umar I owe this success to you 😊
Rodicuta Daranuta recommends Global Driving School.18 December 2018
Today is the happiest and most important day in my life🙃😍. My dream came true! I passed the exam on the first try. I was lucky of being guided by the best instructor in the world, Mr. Umar Khan. Through the whole course of 22 lessons, he kept inspiring and encouraging me, so I never lose my confidence. Also, he is very calm, intelligent and acts professionally. Umar Khan was always very helpful and provided me with all the assistance I needed. More than that, his major interest is in witnessing the actual driving confidence of his students, and not merely the passing of the test. If I would have a chance of picking a driving school again, I would definitely select Global Driving School.
P.S. If you decide to feel the same happiness as I did and experience the same excitement, don't hesitate to contact them ;)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!!!
Shilpi Kachhwaha recommends Global Driving School. 15 December 2018 ·
Umar is amazing guy. I came to him after taking full classes with other instructor and he did not teach me anything, so basically wasted my money. From the first class from Umar I could see the difference in my driving. He has the best balance between keeping calm and cool while also making sure to motivate you at every step. Really easy to talk to and makes you so comfortable but at the same time firm enough to point out the mistakes. I had lot of bad habits from driving in my home country which he got rid of. He was flexible with timing always, even being so busy. I cleared in second time and he especially came for me to give mock test.Though I was so miserable in the mock test with him he motivated me to calm down my nerves and I cleared. I cant thank him enough for all the support. Really a genuine person who really cares and wants to help you through at every step so you can pass. If you want to pass HE IS THE GUY😊😊
Calvin Madden recommends Global Driving School. 8 December 2018
I’d highly recommend global driving school. I got in contact with them literally Friday morning and my full test was today (Saturday). Umer went out of his way to rearrange a few lessons to make sure I could do my test on such short notice and I can’t thank him enough for his time and effort. A top instructor that goes over the basics very well and explains it so clearly in the space of an hour. Magnificent stuff if you ask me as other instructors would need days to go over certain things with you.
If your looking for top instructors who really care about you passing your test I’d highly recommend getting in contact with global driving school.
Thanks very much again on helping me pass my test. Wish you all the best for the future
Jessica da Silva recommends Global Driving School. 22 November 2018 ·
Umar helped me so much to get my driving licence. The lessons were very informative and relaxed enough to keep you in the right test mode mindset. Thank you very much for all the help.
Eiméar Quinn recommends Global Driving School. 19 November 2018 ·
Couldn't recommend Umar enough, I completed some lessons in a different driving school previously and I wasn't impressed or happy with the school. I contacted Umar after scheduling my test which was less than 2 months away. Umar was supportive, set goals and gave constructive feedback for me to work on. I wouldn't have passed without him. 5 stars thanks Umar.
Carolina Ros recommends Global Driving School. 9 November 2018 ·
Thanks to Umar I passed my first test today. My husband also passed his test thanks to Umar, we wouldn't be able to pass without his help. Umar has a lot of knowledge and tips about the routes. I knew every road I was brough during the test thanks to him. He has patience and very clear instructions. My husband and I highly recommend him.

''It has been a great journey towards attaining my driving license and all the credit definitely goes to Umar my instructor who not only taught me new techniques but also tailored the lessons to improve my driving skills. His dedication and motivation always kept me fuelled up to give out my best.
To all the audience out there, I highly recommend Global Driving School if you want to get your skills right and get your license in your first attempt.
Trust me on this one, an instructor like Umar will make your whole journey and experience a piece of cake.''

'Umar was an excellent and extremly supportive driving instructor throughout the lessons. The lessons were very thorough and covered all aspects of the test. Umar was kind enough to customise the lessons based on my weak areas which was very helpful. I took an hour class right before the test on the day and I'm glad I did. Umar was recommened by two other collegues of mine and I would highly recommend him to other drivers as well!''

''Umar Khan was my instructor and I can safely say I couldn't have had a better instructor to, at first, teach me the basics and also make me a confident driver. He is very easy to get along with and is always incredibly patient and calm with you, even when you're struggling. Thanks to Umar, I passed my test first time with only one Grade 2, which is smething I never evenue dreamed of getting!''

''Just passed my test first time.... Umar was a great instructor with patience of a saint. His focus and goal was to ensure you passed first time with the knowledge and skill to handle any situation you might face in a test. Similar to other reviewers, nothing came as a surprise as part of the test. If you are a newbie to driving like myself or even just looking for someone to truly assess your driving skills ahead of a test, I would highly recommend Global Driving School. Thanks a million Umar! I’ll be beep beeping away on the roads going forward!''

''Umar is an excellent driving instructor, really helped me get rid of bad habits that I developed driving in the past 11 years in another country (Brazil). By following his guided training I was able pass the Irish driving test in my first attempt and I'm sure I'll carry that for life now and be a better driver. Besides being very professional and reliable he is also a great guy. I definitely recommend his services!''
Nicholas Asch reviewed Global Driving School – 5* . 5 June at 11:27
''Just passed today, on the first try! Umar prepared me so that I was comfortable with the car and all the possible routes I might come across. Nothing during the actual test was a surprise. He was very strict during practice tests, but when I was passing those with him, I knew I would pass the real one. I had driving experience from the US, so Umar adapted the lessons for me to focus on clutch/gears, positioning (on the opposite side of the road!), and specifics for the Irish test. I thought I was a decent driver before, but even if I didn’t have to take a test again, I’m a safer and better driver now.''

Passed my test yesterday at the second attempt since starting lessons/EDT in June, delighted! Managed to go from barely being able to drive 3 months ago to passing the test after a bunch of lessons with Umar. He was very supportive the whole way through, focussed on helping me correct my mistakes and improving my driving lesson after lesson. If you're doing something wrong, he'll make you fix it!
I improved greatly in a very short space of time with his help, so thanks a million Umar!

''Just passed my exam today and it was my first attempt!
I didn't do my EDT lessons with Umar but ended up doing my pre test practice lessons with him and could not recommend other instructor.
He's very honest about your chances to pass and work hard on your weaknesses. I was able to cover every single one of them and improve really fast.
He clearly enjoy being a driving instructor which makes the difference.
On the mock testes he was very critical, maybe even more that the testers themselves which was very good once it kept super alert all the time when testing.
I Highly recommend it.
