I had a great day on the Honda. Such a fun experience learning a new skill. Colm was calm and relaxed, gave me clear instructions and helped build my confidence throughout the day. Having Colm explain things in a manner that made sense to me and never loosing patience with me has been invaluable. His teaching techniques are very effective and I’m grateful for this positive experience. Thank you for the crack, really enjoyed it.

Ah Ciara, that’s absolutely lovely – thank you!

You were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Watching your confidence grow over the day was brilliant, and the way you took everything on board made my job easy. I’m really glad the way I explained things clicked with you – that’s what it’s all about. And sure the bit of craic along the way made it even better!

Thanks again for the kind words – you’ve a great attitude and you’re well able for the bike. Hope to see you back out again soon for another spin!

Completed my IBT with Colm + Trevor recently having very little biking experience. Throughly enjoyed the Ibt then booked the test straight after and passed the test on the first attempt this week after a few lessons with Colm. Could not recommend Massbrook driving school enough. Top class guidance for the lads and savage value. Thanks a million

Its so hard to find this level of pure professionalism and good craic in one product. Hats off to Colm, he's encyclopedic in his knowledge, and a fantastic teacher of his craft. Skills, confidence and trust where easily garnered with Colm - which led to me passing the A category first time. Thanks Colm!

They are hands down one of the best driving schools out there. Trevor is so patient and thorough with the teaching, paying attention to minute details. He also makes the whole experience so fun, we couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Also, it is located right next to the Nephin mountain so the views are absolutely stunning when they take you out on the roads for practice towards the end of the course.

Thanks so much, Pooja – that’s a class review! It was a real pleasure having yourself and Shane with us. Delighted to hear you enjoyed the training and the views... we’re lucky to be based in such a stunning part of Mayo, and even luckier to have students like yourself who throw themselves into the experience with such a great attitude. Appreciate the kind words, and hope to see you back on the road with us again sometime soon!

I've never ridden a bike, but by the end of the day Trevor had me out on the road and feeling confident on two wheels. I cannot recommend this school enough, you feel at ease at all times and the teaching quality is second to none.

Colm is a fantastic instructor, very common sense approach, I couldn't recommend him highly enough. I passed my test with his help and knowledge 2 years ago and went back to him again last weekend to take part in Motorcycle Slow Speed L1 + Road Control L1 course. I enjoyed the course and found it extremely helpful in giving me more confidence on the bike. Colm is very friendly and approachable.

Delighted you got good value from the Slow Speed and Road Control course, and even happier to hear your confidence has gone up a notch. I always say it’s not about fancy tricks, just common sense, practice, and keeping the head right. You’re always welcome back any time and keep enjoying the bike!
