hi keith,

Go through this thread

http://www.dubaiforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=9872

might help you, Ask Kanelli, corco as they have recently taken driving lessons and will let you know about their experiences

The renowned ones are
Emirates driving school
Dubai driving center
Belhasa driving

there are tons of private driving institutes if someone can recommend you one it would be great. :)

Cheers,

From what I have been told the more established such as the 3 mentioned are better because they have the confidence of the Police Dept., a little more expensive, but more or less guaranteed to get you through.

Man, it is an adventure getting a license here. I'm training with Emirates Driving Institute and currently trying to jump throught their hoops to get my license. They are very professional, but still because of how the system is set up - I feel like I am paying a lot of money to jump through hoops, and will actually learn to be an effective driver after I get my license.

Recently I was at the main office to do my signal test, which took about 1 minute to complete and had only about 10 questions. Apparently some people fail it, but I have no clue how that is possible (unless they understand very little English). I paid for a signal lecture that basically regurgitates the same info on the card you get with the road signs on it, then spent all that time and effort going down to the main branch for a simple 1 minute "test". Hoops indeed.

When I was on my Learners Permit in Queensland Australia it lapsed and it was during a small space in time when you had to do the multiple choice 30 question test again. This japanese girl got 1 out of 30!!!!

How do you get 1 out of 30?

She probably didn't speak any English?
