Unlock New PossibilitiesDRIVING FOR SIX DECADES
The People Behind the Wheel
The first person to pass the driving test in Ireland was taught by our Director and Founder, John Walsh in 1961. Today, ISM is a second-generation Irish family-owned business, and our team of driver education experts, trainers and recruitment consultants is headed by our Managing Director, Karl Walsh.
Karl’s philosophy has been to create services and to build a team that complement each other. Karl’s interests continues to include driver education, specifically driving instructor training. We are proud of the fact that the majority of Ireland’s driving instructors have been trained by ISM! Both ISM Training and ISM Recruitment were developed to be responsive to the training and staffing needs of companies and employers, not to mention jobseekers and employees. For many of our individual customers, the natural pathway is to learn, become qualified and gain fulfilling employment. See our photo archives as we take a drive down memory late.
