Driving Lessons Portmagee People Love
At RSA School of Motoring we take a refreshingly different approach to driver training. As our student we want you to have fun during your lessons and stay safe when you drive. Striking this balance is what we are best at. All our instructors are pushed to stay on top of their game so they can deliver driving lessons that bridge the gap between theory and practice and turn our students into thoughtful, safe drivers. With our instructors your driving will come to life.
WHY WE SAY WE ARE THE BEST DRIVING SCHOOL IN Portmagee
Being a good driving instructor means listening to the needs of the pupil, asking the right questions and responding with the correct remedial action and advice to turn you into an excellent thoughtful driver. Something our instructors are true experts at.
This level of driving instruction is fantastic but we also feel that gaps between lessons can often slow progress so all our pupils also get free access to our online training platform to help reinforce their learning.
When it comes to value no other driving school in Portmagee can offer what we do to our pupils. We have seen pupils learn 3-4 times faster with our home study training. Covering vital driving skills like driving at night, road positioning and traffic progression this training is like having your own driving instructor with you 24/7.
A Driving School in Portmagee you can count on
When we were in school we all had our favorite teachers, the ones that engaged us and made learning fun. And we can recall the lousy teachers that had no business teaching anyone. Not all teachers are made equal and that is no less real with approved driving instructors. It's not as straightforward as Googling 'Driving Lessons Portmagee' and picking the first driving school you stumble upon. Who can you have faith in to give you that enjoyable and engaging experience?
You need a driving school with a reputation built on experience and student success. A driving school that gets people to pass the driving test.

The best motor school in Cork! My instructor Joe, he is a brilliant teacher with excellent tips & advice. He's also a bit of craic! I became much more confident and noticeably a better driver within my first 2-3 lessons. The pricing is very reasonable and Joe works with you to best fit your schedule. I wouldn't recommend any other motor school, these guys are by far the best!

What is Essential Driver Training?
EDT Driving Lessons Portmagee
It is an sad fact that Ireland is among the worst countries in Europe for road deaths and accidents. The Road Safety Authority had to do something so they designed a new training syllabus that all new drivers had to complete. The Essential Driver Training or EDT.
The EDT consists of 12 compulsory lessons that must be delivered by a RSA approved driving instructor to all learner drivers.
Learning to drive safely means knowing and practicing specific driving skills and these 12 EDT lessons have been intended to do just that.

The Driving Test: Crucial preparation
Pretest Driving Lessons Portmagee
First you must master the rules of the road, the road signs and skills involved to control a car safely. Then you must master the conditions of the driving test and understand what to expect. Being allowed to drive alone on Portmagee roads is a freedom you will need to earn and the driving test is your chance to do it. And naturally, as with any test, if you understand the conditions and what to expect you can pass easily.
If your test is booked there is a lot of unknowns and fears to contend with. They so often get the best of even the most seasoned driver. Our approach removes all the unknowns and associated fear that comes with it.
It is standard practice by many driving instructors to keep giving you lessons until they 'think' you are ready. Often they will send you to do the test not really knowing if you will pass or not. That is because of a total lack of understanding on how the tester thinks and marks you during the test. This is not how we do things. All our instructors have been trained by ex-testers so they fully understand the driving tester and what they are looking for from you on test day.
By the end you’ll understand fully the four stages of the test and understand exactly what the driving tester is looking for from you, how they will speak to you on the day and why and when the tester will mark the sheet.
