My experience with Aviva driving lessons has been very good. My instructor Michael Buckley in Waterford has really given me the confidence needed when driving, especially since having no background in driving. He is very reassuring and friendly, and approachable with any doubts or questions I may have.
Fantastic instructor. I did my lessons in the Waterford City area and my instructor, Michael Buckley, was incredibly helpful and informative. I felt confident in the car with him and he made the lessons enjoyable, which helped when feeling nervous. I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael to anyone for lessons.
