Fantastic experience: Naima was the best costumer services experience I've ever had in the UAE public services. Thanks to her I've will achieve my dream to have a drivers lincese here in Abu Dhabi. Please keep her and treasure her as one of your best workers.
Negative experience: Terrible customer service lack of knowledge about any thing especially about health issues. Nobody wants to hear your words everyone have they own rules nobody listen. Very terrible experience you can't explain anything to them because nobody will list. I was told to go to department of health for sick leave for my brother but I was told by the department of health that they have issued new circular but the issue is thst the driving school doesn't know. Worst experience I had ever in entire UAE.
Fantastic experience: I was very nervous but there is a trainer named Carlotta or Maria who trained me in a very special way. She is Filipino and was very kind. When I felt nervous, she would remove this nervousness from me. She helped me develop driving skills in only 6 sessions. She made the fear go away from me and I feel safe while driving. She was the best trainer. For me, Filipino trainers are the best.
Fantastic experience: Mrs Naima chaira very good people tanks naima
Fantastic experience: The best costumer service I get with naima chaire thank you so much for inviting your time to service me in the last minute after closing

Positive experience: Had been for driving license, good environment, friendly staff , very easy and fast process.

I wish this was done by Emirates driving school..
Fantastic experience: Water Mir Muhammad service was really good
Fantastic experience: VERY NICE STAFF,. MR WAQAR COUNTER 32 HE IS VRRY HELPING
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of interacting with Shahid at the counter of Emirates Driving School, AUH and I couldn't be more impressed with his exceptional customer service. From the moment I approached the counter, he greeted me warmly and made sure I felt comfortable. Shahid was highly knowledgeable about the various courses and packages, providing clear and concise information to help me make an informed decision. He was patient, attentive to my needs, and always eager to assist. His professionalism and friendly demeanor made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend reaching out to Shahid for any assistance at the Emirates Driving School counter—he truly goes above and beyond!
Fantastic experience: Had a really good experience with mr shahid. He is very efficient and professional.
Fantastic experience: I’m very grateful that I got my driver’s license in just span of 9 days. 7 days from the emirates driving school 2hrs/day and 2 days 6 classes for road training. The driver instructors are very informative and approachable. Thanks to emirates driving I’m very confident now in driving in the whole state. You can book online or visit their branch in Mussafah for more information. Estimated cost for the whole process driving school, exam and etc. is roughly 6,000 dirhams.
Fantastic experience: I love how Ms. Maria Bonita Abola train me, she’s so expert and very helpful to understand every lesson you have in 45 mins. I am comfortable and I can easily understand my practical class! If only I can request her to be my trainer for all of my class. Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Thanks for Mrs Naima Chaira for helping and best services
Negative experience: They don’t teach you what you need to know just so you can take extra classes and then learn them. I do not recommend this school at all
Fantastic experience: I came and I was attended by Ms Naima Chaira, amazing!!!! She was very helpful and made me feel very confortable. You have a great worker here!!!! Ms Naima
Fantastic experience: I visit today to emirates driving school my wife failed 2 times theoryexam I received oral exam quick thy are very helpful im very pleased specially thanks Mr.hassan and naima Charia Fr helping me out Thy are kind and generous I’m thankful to thm Thank you emirates driving school
Fantastic experience: Learning to drive with Ms. Maria Bonita Abola was a fantastic experience! She is highly professional and her teaching skills are exceptional. She maintains a perfect balance of being kind yet firm, which motivates you to focus and learn effectively. Her structured approach and patience make even the most challenging lessons manageable. Thanks to her guidance, I now feel confident and well-prepared to drive safely. I highly recommend Ms. Maria Abola to anyone looking for an outstanding driving instructor! However, I had a disappointing Experience with the LV Simulation Class,I was thoroughly disappointed with the LV Simulation Class. The lack of guidance and support was shocking. No one explained what the class was about, what to expect, or how it would help me. Instead, I was just left to sit in the machine and drive without any clear instructions or objectives. There was no effort from the staff to check if I was doing things correctly or to teach me anything. For someone like me, a beginner with no driving experience, this class was utterly pointless. Without guidance, I didn’t learn anything or understand the purpose of the session. Honestly, I don’t understand why this class exists. It feels like a complete waste of time and money. If the goal is to teach driving skills, they need to provide proper instruction and supervision. As it stands, this class is far from helpful and does not serve its purpose.
Negative experience: call receiver I hate this people I am waiting from 7 minutes but no one lifting my call (call represent us)
Fantastic experience: EDC is impressive place, supporting staff and teachers especially. Further, theory classes and exam take place at building number 3, simulator class takes place in building 1 on the right when enter the EDC's main gate.

Fantastic experience: Very nice staff and good to get your driving licence done. Thank you to Ms Naima Chaira for helping with my booking
Fantastic experience: It was a beautiful experience this morning, first I was late for work and my schedule was unimaginable but meeting at Mrs Naima Chaira at the counter changes everything, her approach, my schedule changed to the best timing her calm speeches and more. You are truly an icon in your field, your good work will definitely raise you. For me, your are supposed to manage a team so that many impact you into them and then treating customer's your way. Thanks again to you and Emirates Driving school.
Negative experience: It feels more like a place for laborers than accommodating for families, especially women. There should be a more welcoming environment, with a separate location for ladies and families. It's unsettling to see so many laborers and drivers loitering outside, often staring at everyone entering. Even as a male, I find this inappropriate and believe it creates an uncomfortable atmosphere. Providing a dedicated space for families and women would greatly enhance the experience for all.
Fantastic experience: I had a pleasant experience in Bldg.1. Customer Service is awesome. Ms. Ayah assisted me and she was so kind, helpful and very professional. Shukran,Ms. Ayah!
Positive experience: Building two staff is fine but the licences department is totally upseting as they make things complicated for some customers , hopefully the upper staff will guide them not to make things difficult , thanks
Fantastic experience: Madam Naima Chaira is one of my favorite person here in Emirates driving company. As my personal experience, its so amazing all the staff are helpful, kind, and accommodating. Reception, security personnel, the Ladies in the counter are very helpful! God bless them all

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience booking my theory and simulator class, special thanks to Sulaiman, who was incredibly helpful with my application.The whole team in the simulator class was supportive and friendly. Highly recommend their service! Very wonderful team.
Fantastic experience: Shahid khan was very supportive. I would recommend all foreign nationals who is applying for a new driving license without golden chance to opt for the optional "VIP Silver" category with extra 1050 DHs. Because, without it i couldn't get any slots booked via the website for normal category. The best part was Shahid understood my availability and he figured out all the slots for me to complete my entire practical session in 6 days.. I am happy that I opt for this category to fast track my classes. Thank you, Shahid

Negative experience: There is no minus rating here or else i would have give -100 rating to this. I was booked a slot online and wanted to cancel it. I called customer support and waited almost 18 min, once they pick the call and line disconnected automatically. Second tine i waited 15 min and they ask my student number after verification simply said to send email to them. Whats the use of customer service and option to select cancellation in the call. Moreover the i paid for 2 classes at a time whcich is bit extra money and i cant find slots on every weekends. The worst services.

Fantastic experience: I had the absolute pleasure of being assisted by Mrs. Naima Chaira during my application process, and words cannot express how grateful I am for her support. When no one else could help, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled smoothly. Her dedication, kindness, and professionalism made the entire experience unforgettable, and I know I will always remember her for the rest of my life. She truly deserves a promotion for her outstanding efforts – I’ve never met someone as active, helpful, and genuinely caring. Thank you, Mrs. Naima, for everything!

Fantastic experience: Hi ! I had the best experience today with one of the staff member Ms Naima at Driving school administration. The time management issues i was almost facing at 6 am was resolved for my classes by Ms Naima . The guidance was perfectly fine and made on time .
Fantastic experience: In driving school Naima Chaira is the most helpful, smart and very fast in doing her job she sit in the counter number 6 and helps everyone.. I was waiting for my turn nad and i see how fast she is doing and helping so many people... Trainer don't gve you 45 mins.. You need to. Ask more time
Fantastic experience: Thank you Mrs. Naima chaira for your excelent service, every day on duty early when there is nobody available to assit. Please don't stop your excelent service...
Negative experience: The desk staff was very rude, and insulted me when i reached to ask for my turn. It was Sunday, 21st oct 2024. Time was around 2:30 pm. I don’t know the person name but he was sitting right behind the counter of security desk on the right side. He must be Indian/ Pakistani as he can speak hindi/ urdu. Such pathetic experience after being paid more than 5000 aed and wait for so long is real absurd.
Fantastic experience: I am very happy, Ms Naima Chaira is very helping , very fast and very active lady (staff), She is perfect to serve customers required, thanks again for Ms Naima for wonderful support,
Negative experience: Unfortunately they have a bug in their system, I was trying to book a slot for my simulation and I couldn’t…the next day I received a call from their customer agent saying that I missed my simulation classes and that I have to pay a 300 AED Fee. I went all the way from Abu Dhabi to Al musafah, tried to explain to their reps with no success. -Terrible system. -Customer service are not familiar with technical issues so they don’t take decisions. So disappointed given that this level of service is not even near to UAE’s top notch systems and customer journeys.
Fantastic experience: Very exc I just want to express my thanks to Ms. Naima Chaira as she helps me and assist me very excellently.
Fantastic experience: Thank You Emirates Driving and special mention to Madam Naima Chaira who became very helpful in assisting on my concerns and issues, Two Thumbs up for her.

Fantastic experience: Thank you emirates driving school specially miss Naima she come early 6 am in the morning duty she provide me good customer service and less stress i time effort. God bless.
Negative experience: I have had nothing but good experience going inperson at EDCAD for my driving license. However, my brother is getting his online and let me tell you, it has been and still is the WORST absolute nightmate of an online course ever. EDCAD is arguably one of the biggest driving school in the UAE and this makes me wonder why they will not spend resources polishing their website. Buttons are all over the place, the course itself keeps crashing, the quiz part keeps crashing with no way to resume quiz - you have to play/skip the lessons again and again. You could not complete a single quiz without conjuring all your patience. For a company that supposedly have to facilitate mass audience, they certainly could not perform well in a world where elearning is becoming a norm.
Fantastic experience: Great help I received from emirates driving schools office, Get Very useful guidance from Mr.mohammed Saleh
Fantastic experience: Nice experience, very friendly and humanitarian staff, especially Mr. Sulaiman and Mr. Salah.
Negative experience: Customer service needs to be improved. Mostly service counter are closed. Usually staff on weekends and on peak times should be more so no one had to wait. Waiting time for the turn is 1 hour or more
Fantastic experience: Nima chira she is the one gave me good customer service She explained very clearly about the class And the exam date I am giving her 5 out of five
