The Good Stuff
Quick classes
A learner who opened a file at the end of one month reported receiving back-to-back classes before passing the parking test.
Helpful staff
Some customers say staff answered their questions clearly and helped complete their work quickly.
First attempt
One learner said patient explanations helped them complete the licence process and pass on the first attempt.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm dates. Get the class or test date confirmed in writing before paying; one customer said a session was booked for Wednesday without approval.
Allow time. Leave plenty of time between attempts, as one review reports at least three weeks before the next class after failing a test.
Check access. Before relying on online theory lessons, log in and verify they open; a learner reported being unable to watch them for two months.
Check timings. Verify branch hours before travelling: a review says the International City branch was closed before 5 pm.
Clarify fees. Ask what each payment covers and what happens on cancellation, since one customer reported a 400aed deduction.

The Bottom Line
Galadari Motor Driving Centre in International City takes learners through the driving-licence process, with customers mentioning theory tests, practical lessons, initial driving assessments and the RTA parking test. The strongest positive experiences are quite specific: one learner praised gentle, detail-focused instruction that helped them pass the initial assessment, while another reported back-to-back classes before passing the parking test. The bigger issue is predictability.
Many reviews describe long gaps before classes or repeat tests, unanswered calls and WhatsApp messages, and branch staff giving information that conflicts with customer-service advice. One learner was told to book at least four practice hours at the branch despite being told they could book extra hours as needed. Another said a session was scheduled for Wednesday without approval.
Online access has also been unreliable for at least one customer, who said lessons would not open for two months. If you choose this school, confirm every class, test and payment in writing, check that online lessons work, and verify the branch hours before travelling. Also ask about cancellation and transfer charges: reviews mention a 400aed deduction after cancellation and a 210 dirham fee for transfer documents.
The experience is not uniformly negative—some customers report quick help and passing on the first attempt—but the booking process needs patience and careful follow-up.
