About us
A Little About Us?
We at Callan Driving School have over 30 years of quality teaching experience behind us and counting ...We are the holders of many teaching certificates namely, the Royal Automobile Club, (RAC) the Motor Schools Association of Ireland, (MSAI) Irish Driving Instructor Association, (IDIA) Driving Instructor Register of Ireland, (DIR) Road Safety Authority Approved Driving Instructor (RSA ADI), and Fetac Level 6 in Driving Tuition.
We believe in first class driving instruction, that goes way beyond simply teaching pupils to drive. We offer you a life skill, a skill that will last well beyond your driving test. We offer pupils who want to learn to drive or obtain their driver licence, seven day tuition from 8am to 10pm. With Callan's you can arrange your theory or driving lessons to be consecutive or you can spread them out to conveniently to fit with your schedule.
Callan's Driving School was established by Pat Callan, over thirty years ago as Elite School of Motoring. Pat's interest is "Road Safety" and in the "Driving School Industry" as a whole. Paddy has spent many years on various Driving School Committees, for example, the Motor Schools Association of Ireland, The Irish Driving Instructors Association and the Driving Instructor Register of Ireland, in his quest to raise driving standards nationally.
These standards extend particularly to Callan's Driving School pupil's where we believe in "complete driving tuition" you will learn in a modern, fully insured, dual controlled Toyota Yaris. As an added comfort and for the protection of our pupils, all Callan's Driving School instructors undertake Garda vetting and maintain clearance certificates bi annually, in addition we carry public liability insurance. At Callan's Driving School, customer service has been and will continue to be, the Key Word for Our Success! We look forward to you, contacting us and indeed adding you to our long list of successful pupils who have passed their driving test and are still driving with skill and competence.
Thank You
