The Good Stuff
First attempts
Some students report passing their licence tests on the first attempt after completing their training here.
Patient instructors
A review of vehicle 469 describes clear instructions, constructive feedback and patient coaching that built confidence behind the wheel.
Maintained cars
One customer specifically noted that the cars were new and very well maintained.
Reliable opening
A customer found the Silicon Oasis branch open and on time during their visits.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm changes. Before paying, ask how test-location or schedule changes are communicated; one review describes a test location changing within the same week.
Protect validity. Check your permit renewal date and how much usable time remains; one customer says delays left less than a month on a three-month renewal.
Allow buffer. Build spare time into your plan because a fully booked start was cancelled the day before when a driver became sick.
Clarify training. Ask what skills and areas each lesson will cover rather than assuming a few sessions are enough; one review reported repeating the same area.
Keep records. Save booking confirmations and follow-up messages, especially if you rely on phone support; a review says calls were repeatedly unanswered.

The Bottom Line
Galadari Motor Driving Centre in Dubai Silicon Oasis handles the practical and administrative parts of getting a UAE driving licence. You can take beginner classes, book theory and road tests, and prepare for the final RTA assessments. The strongest reviews describe patient instructors, well-maintained cars and staff who make class and test arrangements around a student’s preferred dates.
There is a noticeable split in the feedback. Some recent customers say they passed on the first attempt, while others report repeated failures, unclear training and difficulty booking even a single class. A few older reviews also praise individual instructors for clear, patient coaching, so the quality of the teaching experience may depend heavily on the assigned instructor.
Scheduling is the main practical concern. Customers mention classes being moved by a week, appointments cancelled the day before and long gaps between available slots. Another review says a permit renewal was processed without clear notification, leaving less than a month of usable time from a three-month renewal.
Before registering, get the package terms, class frequency, test location and permit-validity details in writing. Keep confirmation messages, and leave plenty of time for rescheduling if your licence timeline is tight.
