Learn with an RSA Approved Driving Instructor
Every JBL lesson is taught by Linto Cyriac, an Approved Driving Instructor licensed by the Road Safety Authority. That approval is worth checking for in any driving school: it means your instructor has been vetted, tested and re-examined by the RSA to teach on Irish roads, not just someone with a car and a spare hour.
Students regularly describe Linto as patient and calm, and lessons are built around the real test routes and road conditions you will face on the day. You can verify his ADI status with the RSA using the reference number on the card.
