Meet Colm Branigan

Instructor Trainer & Driving Coach

I chose Colm following some research online for suitable instructors who train and coach new Driving instructors. I found his teaching style to be a revelation and have adapted it into my teaching. His style encourages the pupil to participate and identify their own shortfalls. I would certainly recommend Colm for his patience, unique style and experience.

I recently had sessions with Colm Branigan to prepare me for the Stage Three Instruction Ability Test for the ADI. He was highly recommended to me by a friend. The sessions were hugely beneficial to me in my preparation for the test. I did the test at the Rathgar Test Centre. I have to say that I found the role play difficult but the practice I had with Colm paid off. I got through the test reasonably well and I was over the moon when I got the letter in the post from the RSA about 10 days later stating “Passed”. I got 80.5 marks out of 100 which I was delighted with. A lot of credit to Colm as I don’t think I would have passed first time without his very professional help.

I would just like to thank you for your help with my ADI training. I was really prepared for the tests after your lessons. The only problem I have is thinking about all the money I wasted with one of your competitors. I will recommend you to anyone I know who is becoming an ADI. I will give you a call when my check test is coming up for a refresher lesson.
