Refreshingly Good Driving Lessons in Stradbally
We all remember the exciting engaging teacher in school that made learning easy and fun. And then we had the opposite, those teachers that had no place in the classroom. Not all teachers are made equal and that is certainly no less true with driving instructors. It is easy to Google 'Driving Lessons Stradbally' and find driving instructors near you but which can you trust to best teach you.
You need a driving school with a reputation built on experience and student success. A driving school that gets students past the test.

Rachael Buggle passed the test with RSA School of Motoring
I failed my test several times and had lost faith in my ability to actually pass the test. A friend suggested that I contact the School of Motoring for a new instructor. They suggested who specialized in aiding those who had not been successful. After a few lessons I was ready to sit my test again and passed it. I highly recommend this school and this instructor. I don't think I would have passed my test without their help.

What's the difference?
The EDT: The history?
EDT Driving Lessons Stradbally
As part of an initiative to improve the poor statistics of young drivers getting killed or injured on our roads the Road Safety Authority introduced the EDT.
This EDT requires that all learners must complete a minimum of 12 hours of essential driver training by an RSA approved driving instructor.
Learning to drive safely means understanding and exercising specific driving skills and these 12 EDT lessons have been designed to accomplish that.

Pretest Driving Lessons Stradbally
The skill of driving safely and the art of passing the 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. Our Stradbally pretest driving lessons are designed to show you how to beat the test by understanding the conditions you will be placed under.
If the thoughts of sitting the driving test are overwhelming you then you are not the first to feel like this. We naturally fear what we don't understand and the unknown. But with RSA School of Motoring you don't have to be afraid.
Most driving instructors will keep giving you lessons until they ‘think’ you are ready. They 'think' you are ready but they do not really 'know'. 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.
We're not in the business of gambling on your success. Our pretest training fully simulates the 4 different stages of the driving test and fully prepares you for the way the tester will talk to you and how they mark the test sheet.
When we share this knowledge and understanding with our students it is like giving them all the answers to an exam before they even know the questions. Which is why so many of our student pass first time. Passing fast means you save money.
