A Driving School in Ballinhassig you can count on
We all remember the fun engaging teacher in school that made learning fun and easy. And then we had the opposite, those teachers that had no place in the classroom. Not all teachers are made equal and that is no less a fact with driving instructors. It's not as simple as Googling 'Driving Lessons Ballinhassig' and picking the first driving school you stumble upon. Who can you believe in to give you that fun and engaging driving lesson experience?
Naturally you want to pick a driving school that has a fantastic record. A place where learners are consistently passing their driving test first time.

Another one passes the test. Well done JC Clarke
Very happy with my time with the RSA. They paired me the right instructor and passed on my 2nd attempt. Was very nervous for the first few lessons but instructor was very helpful, relaxed and calm which helped me a great deal. Couldn't speak more highly of him.

The Test: Crucial preparation
Pretest Driving Lessons Ballinhassig
The art of driving safely and the art of passing the driving test should not be confused as the same. You should already have the vital driving skills and road safety knowledge before applying for the test. Pretest training is about understanding the driving test itself and how you can beat it.
If you have to prepare for the driving test then your head is probably a wash with different emotions. Fear of failing, fear of nerves getting the better of you or just fear of the unknown. But with RSA School of Motoring you don't have to be afraid.
Our tried and tested pretest training packages have been developed to specifically help you overcome your nerves and come out with a deep understanding on what will happen on test day.
We don’t like leaving things to chance. We simulate for you all 4 stages of the test, teach you all the test routes and focus on the areas of your driving that are most likely to get you the most marks or fail you.
Using this method we get our student past the test in half the time it takes other driving school. Passing fast means you save money.
