Learn to Drive a Minibus
Our manual Minibus lessons are provided by our team of qualified instructors at our Finglas Training Centre and on the most popular test routes, 7 days a week. The lessons are suitable for drivers who wish to professionally drive minibuses in private, school, healthcare service, and community development settings or to upgrade their private licence enabling them to hire a minibus. With access to Dublin’s only off-road practice Reversing Bay, you will gain the confidence and skill to pass your D1 category driving test the first time. Our D1 vehicles are Ford Transit Minibuses – the newest training vehicles in Ireland.
