Approved driving instructors
The Department of Infrastructure cannot recommend driving instructors; we advise discussing with friends and relatives to get a recommendation.
If you have a problem with a driving instructor you can report this to the Registrar for Driving Instructors on +44 1624 686753. It is an offence if a car driving instructor who is not on the Government approved register charges a fee for their services.
