    hynes-quinn driving school provides driver cpc courses more or less nationwide I think. I did mine with them. It was a enjoyable relaxed course. (www.hynesquinn.com)

    Maybe I shouldn't write about it on public forum, but only what I can say about Hynes-Quinn driving school are bad things.

    Last year I booked CPC with them. It was very busy period in my work, especially on weekends, as I work on the weekends the most. CPC courses are held usually during the weekends, so it was difficult to find a course that would suit me.

    Finally I found one in Athlone (which was far for me, but only time that suit me) organised by Hynes-Quinn driving school on date that suit me.
    While booking over the phone I informed them that I already done module nr 4 last year, so I need to do different modeule now. I was informed it will be different module than 4, most likely 2.
    Because location was very far for me (over 200km to drive) day before the training I rang them again to confirm it was module 2. I was assured it was.

    On the day of the training, I travelled 200km to Athlone, just to find out, that they are doing CPC module 4, which was not any good for me, as I did it last year.
    I informed that I booked different module, but was told that nothing can be done, as there was already 2 people there who did module 2 already, so they need to do module 4. Person leading the course, just told me to go home, as there was not any point for me to be there, as I did module 4 already. Another thing that was strange to me - that was 19 people attending the course (18 without me) even that RSA allows only courses in groups up to 16 people.
    I called the manager of Hynes-Quinn school. He said he was sorry, but there was nothing he could do.
    After few days I wrote an email to him, explaining, that by uncompetent booking facility at his school, I was exposed to travelling 400 km for nothing and I lost half a day of my time. I requested a CPC traing for free, as an compensation.
    I got a phone call after about 2 weeks from him. He said that he couldn't provide me with free CPC as their price is the lowest in the country. Only what he could offer was 10% discount. I asked when would any courses be available, so he replied that he will email me the list with upcoming courses.
    I never got any email after that.

    I chose different school (cpc.ie) and done remaining modules with them (3 modules already). I can advice them as competent and reliable.

    I would strongly discourage anyone of getting any courses from Hynes-Quinn driving school.
