Hi all, I'd like my nanny to get a driver's license here in the UAE and am researching driving schools at the moment. As it's a major investment I'd like to pick one which has a good reputation and isn't eg, known for failing students as a means of making more money (I was shocked when one guy explained to me that the passing rate for the practical exam is 23% in the first round... and that it doesn't always depend on a student's abilities...). Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks a lot!

I did my license at Emirates Driving Institute in Al Quoz and passed for the first time with no issues. I found the instructors really nice, at least mine was. I also found the local lady who gave me the test very kind. I'd say it is super easy to obtain a license here. The only downfall is they don't allow you to drive on SZR only after passing the test so a lot of practice is warranted for afterwards.
