Extremely happy with ISM Finglas. Norbert Misku has been my instructor, and his dedication to ensuring that this former learner driver's (not a young one either) confidence, proficiency and ensuring a successful pass have been amazing. The office staff have been great when arranging additional lessons and car hire for the test. Thanks to all in ISM Finglas.
Had a good time,Very pleased with the teaching method and everyone was very welcoming and understanding!! 🙂
Not the best place. Course was just about acceptable. Cheapest of the cheap Tea, Coffee and biscuits supplied. Not a place in walking distance of a half hour break to properly get fed. Never again for me to do CPC. First impression is everything. Instructor was late by 45 minutes but if we’re deemed late or no showing we lose our payment. Make what you want from that.
Very good experience ! So happy I choice ISM Training centre (Finglas), the teacher are professional.passionate.and humorous, and I make some friends there😁,
Thoroughly enjoyed my experience with the company. Cat D licence passed first attempt. Shout out to Adam and the team in reception, Karl the boss, all the trainers, especially Dave Hennesy who I was with majority of my weeks there, all lovely people. Zero issues. Would recommend 👍🏻👌🏻
Really excellent service. I have had Danny as my instructor and he has been excellent, really great at instructing and patient during the sessions. ISM guides really helpful, would highly recommend for automatic car lessons
Booked cpc module 3 with ism because of there fecilitys and professionism.Not like some others who cancel and don't inform you, ism keep you informed and up to date will book my modules with ism in the future tnks to all at ism
All the instructors i meet is so friendly, training me so briefly & simply... In one words, its a very useful & lovely experience.
I cant tell you everyone how happy I am!I had my driving lessons with Richard Whyte and I wish to tell him a huge thank you for his patience with me and teach me properly how to be a professional driver, how to drive a bus! I would definitely 100% recommend to everyone :-)Thank you so so much!!!1
the 5 modules were very good however i have been trying to get information on jobs withISM particulary one in bray ref vac 24768 but nobody is getting back to me on it after spending 350 euro i expected a more prompt responce
Very helpful Instructors enjoyed counter balance reach truck and pallet trucki recommend
I highly recommend after Finishing my 12 lesson with Rofeda. She is an amazing driving instructor who focuses on attention to detail with regards.I recommend her a lot . Thank you so much Rofeda.
Rofeda is 5 stars!I was quite nervous about driving and had some bad experiences in the past, but Rofeda from ISM Driving School was a complete game-changer. She is incredibly patient, understanding, and made the whole learning process easy and enjoyable. Her calm and supportive teaching style helped me overcome my fears, and I was able to gain confidence behind the wheel in no time. I learned so much from her, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Thank you, Rofeda, for making this an enjoyable journey.
Completed my CPC module 4 with Bernard today. Great instructor. Well done and thanks again. Regards Eric.
I did 3 day course for counterbalance with ISM.In Ireland the best place for forklift/counterbalance and other training like PPT,Reach Forklift, C license or D license etc they have best facilities and Ireland top Instructors like John Doran and his team.The environment was really friendly and very enjoyable. I would strongly recommend ISM for any one without much skills as it can open many doors for you in the warehousing /logistics industry making you valuable. I felt really good walking out the door that Wednesday with my achievements after passing on my course.
I took about 12 lessons for a truck license, failed my test twice (for reasons not related to my driving). Then I tried to book aditional lessons and the truck for a third testing but was denied. I'm now looking for another driving school to get my truck driving license. I'm not mad at them to not preparing me well enough knowledge wise (which indirectly caused me to fail my test at least once) after spending more then €2000, but for denying me the chance to take the test with their truck another time. It was very unprofessional and this possibility was never disclosed beforehand.
The instructor of the Safe Pass course Paul Graham was very good. Couldn't fault him. A wide depth of knowledge of the Subject and a great help if anybody was struggling on the day.
Great venue really excellent trainers they go into good detail and explain things well had a great day really enjoyed it thanks to everyone at ism in finglas.
Rofeda is such a great instructor for a first time driver like me as she was nice and patient when teaching.
I highly recommend ISM after completing my 12 lessons with Rofeda. She is an amazing driving instructor who focuses on attention to detail with regards to the driving test . I feel very prepared for my test after my lessons with Rofeda as she has helped me improve each week, giving advice where needed as well as recommendations for me to focus on when practicing outside of the lessons. Thank you so much!!
IMS is a best Training Centre and I recommend everyone to go and get a Training in any motor Training you need. I really thank all the team at ISM Training Centre ( Finglas).
I am currently studying the forklift course at ISM Training Institute in Ireland, and my experience has been excellent so far! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive, making sure that every student gets the attention they need. The course content is very comprehensive, covering both the practical skills and safety measures required to operate a forklift confidently.If you're looking for high-quality forklift training in Ireland, I highly recommend ISM Training Institute
Excellent Forklift Training Course!I recently completed the forklift training course at ISM Training Institute in Ireland, and I couldn't be more impressed with the quality of instruction and support. The course was very well-structured, covering all the essential aspects of operating a forklift safely and efficiently. The trainers were professional, knowledgeable, and patient, ensuring that each student understood both the theory and practical aspects of the job.The facilities were top-notch, and the hands-on practice sessions gave me the confidence I needed to operate a forklift in a real-world setting. ISM also made the entire process—from registration to certification—smooth and straightforward. Whether you're new to forklifts or looking to upgrade your skills, I highly recommend ISM for their top-quality training!Thank you, ISM, for an excellent learning experience.
Fantastic facility, instructors and staff. Would recommend ISM Training Centre Finglas.
I enjoyed my module 6 . The teacher was great , a women who knows her field.Unfortunately i have to give 4 stars because 3 reasosns :1st i do my cpc for 60 euros not 70 and no water or biscuits available. Just a cup of tee .2nd big problem with parking lots. Not enough spaces especially when you have more than 1 module on the same day.3rd just 2 bathrooms for the entire building which are used by cpc modules, forklift training and school drivers all categories. I ended up waiting to use the bathroom 🚻 15 minutes .
I Didi a pre-test with instructor Rofeda just to remind myself of a few things and I passed the test.
Cannot suggest enough the ISM in finglas. I done my bus driving training with them and passed the first time. I had 2 fantastic instructors Dave O'Carroll and Stylianos Lafaras. And they were the most amazing instructor I ever had. So patience and guide me through my whole test. They were truly wonderful instructors for first time drivers.. I cannot thank them enough for the fantastic experience and their level of patience and politeness with me.
I strongly Recommend Driving instructor Mark .He is a fantastic and Brilliant instructor that I have ever seen.His teaching method is absolutely class .Great.My driving journey was hard .Thank you so much mark to help me to achieve my goal .
Had pleasure doing the ADR Basic with Eamon Mcevoy., very informative, good literature.., explains everything to perfection.., creates good atmosphere., could not fault in any way.. 5 🌟
Terry was brilliant with my bus lessons. Real friendly and professional. Would 100% recommend.
I rushed into this course last year with a different company. I was under pressure from the very start with long days over a shorter period. The last thing I wanted to do after 10 hours online was open a book or study and the result of this was failure in the exam which was probably mostly my own fault. This time around I felt the shorter lesson works for me and kept me interested and the way Stephen presented it has put me at ease already. Also the confidence he has in himself to get people over the line in the exam was very impressive. Looking for to the rest of the course now. 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Have worked here a few times , Shauna is looking after me this time and she couldn't be more helpful
Looking at the reputation of this driving school, we booked for 2 lessons before the driving test, but the person handling this booking was so rude and can not accommodate suitable time for the lessons whatsoever, and also 2 hours lesson at a stretch and rudely says, they don't do one hour lessons. The ISM website on the other hand clearly states "Hourly lesson, 2 lessons". Very bad experience talking to them.
I’m delighted to have passed my driving test first time with Rofeda. I found her to be patient, and she was able to impart her driving knowledge easily. I would highly recommend Rofeda.
I had my lessons and test with the gentleman instructor from ISM Danny Steele and I passed my test Thanks a lot give him a shout guys if you are struggling with test .
ISM Cpc module course was professional and really educational.. With ISM i have no hesitation in recommending all your CPC modules to be completed here at ISM Finglas
I began my training as a driving instructor with Dave Malone in Finglas back in January & stuck with ISM for all 3 stages of becoming an instructor. Thanks to his help I passed all 3 stages first time. If you’re looking to become an instructor, I can’t recommend ISM enough. They cover all bases thoroughly & leave no stone unturned so that you’re fully prepared for every single stage.
I was expecting a simple refresher safety pass course , I was just amazed at the information available in construction that I wasn't aware of. It was presented with passion and profession, would recommend ISM for everyone,teacher had a great attitude and patience and most of all really helpful . It opened my eyes too all the dangers and laws when you're on site
Great laugh with the instructors. Learned alot in less than a month. Would definitely recommend the forklift course.
I have gone through this forklift training course at ISM. There I met several instructors of vast experiences, the training centre was welcoming & enough training equipments where available. My time there was really interesting as I was put through in and out. I will definitely be recommending this training centre for anyone who wish to get the better out of himself or herself.Efosa Evbuomwan
All legends very good course the forklift instructors wore very good
Murray at ISM Tallaght built my confidence on the road and provided excellent instruction and guidance. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to book their driving lessons!
All staff and instructors are absolutely lovely and so helpful. Really good course!
Would definitely recommend the Forklift Course. All the instructors had years of experience in the warehouse industry and the various vehicles involved. They also had patience like saints 🤣🤣 and also great craic which made the learning fun too. 😁👌 Thanks lads really appreciate it 👍🏻 Lisa D
It’s a top notch training facility with qualified instructors. Will always cherish the times spend here with Mac Trevor, Carl, Bob, Kavaghah and the rest of the class . Another journey begun from here .
I'm working with Jordan from ISM office since last year and I just wanted to share a good experience ,Jordan does a really good job.Very helpful to me with all of the questions, informed and sometimes he already answered for my phone call outside of his working hours.Easy to deal with and he always comes back to me with all of my requests.I already did few courses with Ism, very professional all instructors they trained very well.
I've had the pleasure of working with Paula from ISM for many years as an HGV driver, and I can confidently say that her service has always been exceptional. From day one, Paula has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure that any challenges or issues I encountered on the job were swiftly and effectively resolved. Her professionalism, dedication, and commitment to supporting me have made my experience with ISM nothing short of outstanding.Whether it was finding the right placements or addressing any concerns that came up, Paula was always there, providing timely and reliable solutions. Her support has been invaluable, and I am truly grateful for everything she has done for me over the years. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and is always ready to help, Paula is the person you want in your corner.Thank you, Paula, for your unwavering support and excellent service!
Really helpful for finding a great job Jennifer Byrne helped me and made life easier it was stress free
I think this is exllent school for learning handling tracks,expertise instructors and all facilities are 5 🌟 ,I recommend this training centre for who would like to drive counterbalance forklift and PPTThanks for all staff in ISM Traning centre TallaghtAbdalla
Work with Paula 5yers instant contact, great person, no problems at all good place to work 👍😊
As others write, I will be tempted too. I have been working at ISM as a truck driver for quite some time. I had my first boss, a man, and for almost a year now I have had a wonderful boss, Paula Lanigan. At first I thought she wouldn't cope, but to my surprise it turned out that she is the best boss I have ever had. She always approaches her duties professionally, treats us drivers as business partners, never imposes her decisions, consults everything with us, suggests appropriate companies and the nature of work according to the interests and predispositions of a given driver. One likes to drive in the city, another in the field, and yet another is here and there. She matches the driver to his individual needs. She is very communicative and open. She never leaves a driver without professional care in a given company to which he has been delegated. She is always interested in us, calls or writes when and to which company we can go to work. You can count on her in every situation and if needed. She always tries to provide every driver with a job and provides her care in a given company. Such a boss is a golden boss. I hope she will always be like this and will not change. The second person who deserves my recognition is Mrs. Accountant Catherine Spolen, a professional finance minister of our company and especially ours. Payments and printouts are always prepared on time. Professionally and reliably. Described and explained what for what and how much. Such bosses who treat us as partners in the company should be respected and we wish that they always remain like that. It is worth working with such people, I have full trust in them.
I have been working for Irish school of motoring for the past few years they are very reliable company even when I have went to a different job not for this company I have rang these people back up looking for a job within the day I was out driving again they give good rates and pay by the week on point with no bullshit excuse my language for an agency I recommend this placePS. PAULA LANIGAN is the consultant who has been looking after me the whole time she is always keeping me up-to-date with future jobs with the best rates possible 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
I like to thank Mark and the team at ISM very helpful and professional they give clear instructions tips and tricks to carry on to your workplace great facilities to learn at your own pace.
This was my first time doing my CPC in Tallaght. As I have done my CPC in Finglas.As I did not enjoy my last two experiences in Finglas for module 4 and 6.But Bernard was amazing I really learned a lot from him. I give this guy 100% for his teaching . I know now I will be doing my moudles in Tallaght. Once again I want to say a big thank you to Bernard for a great class.
Did the Forklift courses. Patient and competent teachers capable of accommodating a variety of learners.
Lovely place to learn, i did my folklift training there, and all the training instructors are very nice. The likes of Carl, Brain, Trevor, and Mark are lovely people to learn from. Not forgeting a very special teacher, Stephen, who is so exceptional in his teaching method.
Great instructors kept us entertained very kind and was their for help when needed.
I have done my safe paas with ISM and I’m very satisfied with there training.

I’m very pleased with my experience at the Tallaght training center. The instructors were amazing, the place and the machines are also amazing. I greatly recommend.
The course was well thought and the Centre was well equipped and maintained. The trainers were beyond great and made the course easy to learn and also a pleasurable experience. Especially Brian and Carl who were both amazing teachers. They answered any questions and helped us continuously to ensure we understood everything and were being safe throughout the duration of the course. They've also made the whole course a pleasure to attend and I couldn't thank them enough. By the end of the three days I began regretting that the course was coming to an end. I couldn't recommend, thank and hold in higher regards Brian, Carl and the ISM Tallaght team.
Whoever comes for the first time will be convinced that there is no other better place. I recommend
Great experience with the lads up in ism doing my refresher I really enjoyed every minute Mark an Brian two gents fair play to them they really know what they're at hope to see them again in future ????

I really commend the efforts of our tutors at ISM Training Centre (Tallaght). They all work so much to ensure that every trainee were satisfied. I will recommend the training Centre to anyone's that wish to learnt any of their courses programme. So dedicated and commited to their duties. I don't want to mention names but i say thank you to you all.
I would recommend to a friend as trainer's/examiners are very knowledgeable and clear and easy to understand. I was impressed with the facilities and overall experience.
I did my training here and really enjoyed the experience, it was a really cool 4 days. My instructor was Carl, a very cool and fun person, he knows a lot about forklifts and explains them very well. The entire staff is very friendly and nice, everyone is very professional. I recommend them for sure. When I return to renew my license, I will look for Carl again as an instructor.
It was really a great experience…. And the tutors was great …. Thanks TREVOR
Just attended the basic counter balance forklift and ROPPT course...it was a pleasure to attend. The instruction and instructors were knowledgeable passing on their own experience in the workplace. They were also humorous but also very focussed on the importance of the Health and Safety aspects in the use of the equipment, which they constantly hammered home by pointing out the reasons to carry out proper procedures when operating the equipment and not to shortcut the procedure for any reason to ensure the safety of you and your work colleagues. Many thanks to Trevor, Mick, Carl, Brien and the training manger Mark and the rest of the staff at ISM. I would highly recommend ISM for the above course .
I did a pretest with Murray and he was absolutely fantastic. He gave specific, constructive feedback. He was helpful and patient, and made me feel at ease when driving. I would highly recommend Murray.
Stephen KavanaghCarlMarkMickTrevorBrianThese instructors and Stephen, our first lecturer, demonstrated exceptional teaching skills that had a profound impact on the lives of their students, providing them with a solid foundation of knowledge.I highly recommend ISM training to anyone interested in these forklift and power pallet courses, particularly if the same instructors or individuals with similar teaching abilities are still available.
This was a great experience. The instructors were top class,oozed patience and understanding with all of the candidates. Mark Slater goes above and beyond with advice, knowledge, and jobseeking tips. I highly recommend this course.
I had my first EDT lesson today with Murray. He’s such a good driving instructor, he made sure to explain everything and made sure I understood and was comfortable before I started driving. I also felt very safe while driving as he gave me very clear instructions. I definitely feel like I learned a lot and made progress. I was even able to drive myself home! I’m excited to do the rest of my lessons with him!
All staff very attentive. Instructors (Brian, Carl and Mark) pay attention to every detail and are very knowledgeable about what they teach. They are to be congratulated. The days I spent there for forklift training were enriching. The training center has excellent infrastructure with well-maintained machines. When I need to renew my license or some other service, I will certainly look for them again. Thank you very much ISM.
Tallaght training centre is the best always it is really nice place and nice instructors mark, Brain and carl if you need to take training courses this is the best place to take.
I am very happy to have completed forklift training at ISM. I found the course to be excellently run and paced.
Qualified, attentive and kind instructors. My first language is not English and they were always trying to make sure I was learning and giving me all the support I needed. Congratulations to the whole team and thank you very much for learning! I recommend it to anyone who is unsure where to take the course.
I had my first EDT lesson today with Murray and I felt very safe driving with him and I made great progress with him during the first 2 hours. I was able to drive myself home and everything.Can’t wait to do the rest of my lessons with him!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I recently completed my forklift training at ISM Tallaght with instructor Mick Callaghan, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Mick's expertise and teaching style made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. He explained everything clearly and ensured that all safety protocols were thoroughly understood. His patience and attention to detail helped me gain confidence in operating the forklift efficiently. I highly recommend ISM Tallaght and Mick Callaghan for anyone looking to receive top-notch forklift training. Thank you, Mick, for your excellent instruction and support!Jishnu Pillai
Rofeda is the best instructor I’ve ever had, and I’ve had many! She’s very patient and extremely thorough and clear with her explanations. I would recommend her to anyone!
Did a two day reach and counterbalance fork lift course.Thanks to Carl Brian and mark.Great knowledge and tips and puts trainees at easeThanks again
Excellent course recommend to anybody . Great instructors and a good experience all around .
Very nice people to work with and u can learn loads from them and u have a laugh with all the stuff
Mark and Brian, our tutors were the most upstanding of persons. The delivery of the course to the time allowance to understand the process was ample. Kind and compassionate with a deep analysis of driver behaviours. For the lads that were on course the tutors delivered everything on time and with great patience.Wholeheartedly pleased with the course.Thank you again for your time and deliverance.
