Meet Bill, Approved Driving Instructor

This is Bill O'Malley, the owner of Rowland School of Motoring.

Qualifying as an Driving Standards Agency (DSA) Approved Driving Instructor in 1992, Bill became an instructor for the business in the same year and subsequently took it over upon the retirement of the founder in 2005. Since then Bill has been the exclusive instructor and guided every pupil to driving success, guarenteeing quality of instruction.

The importance of selecting the right driving instructor cannot be overstated, as poor quality tuition means wasted money and longer learning times.

Official Driving Standards Agency statistics show the National overall pass rate for the practical driving test has been 48% for the period 2023/2024. Bill takes huge pride in achieving a pass rate that is well above this national average, meaning his pupils are not only more likely to pass first time but also save money by qualifying faster.
