An Approved Driving Instructor collects you from Innishannon Parish Hall or your home for each one-hour lesson. Your test can be at Wilton, about 20 minutes away by road.
Choosing driving lessons in Innishannon with us means one-hour lessons in a dual-controlled car. We collect you from your agreed point, and our test advice is honest.
We collect you from Innishannon Parish Hall, or from home, school or work, and drop you back at the end. There is no extra charge for that.
Your instructor is approved by the RSA as an Approved Driving Instructor. With dual controls fitted, the instructor shares the braking while you find your feet on Main Street.
Calm lessons are how we teach. Nervous learners set the speed of progress here, and we never move you on before you feel settled.
Wilton is only about 20 minutes away, which makes it tempting to book early. We will tell you honestly if you are ready, and what is missing if not.
Both are taught. The difference shows on your licence: an automatic pass adds code 78 and restricts you to automatics, while a manual pass does not.
Say what is important to you about your instructor when you enquire. You can ask for a female instructor, and we confirm who is available for lessons from Innishannon before you book.
From your opening manual lesson, the aim is control: clutch, gears, moving off and stopping smoothly. Lessons start near the Parish Hall or your home and soon take in Main Street. As you improve, you spend more of each hour on Macroom Road, building speed control and forward planning. In the final stretch you drive full hour-long sessions with little help, and we tell you straight when you have reached test standard.

We teach automatic driving lessons in Innishannon for learners who want to put all their effort into the road rather than the gears. An automatic pass gives you a code 78 licence, for automatic cars only. A manual pass covers both, so think about which cars you will drive later. Instructor times vary, so the instructor and car are confirmed when you enquire.

EDT, short for Essential Driver Training, is 12 lessons you take with an Approved Driving Instructor before your test. Each is signed off in your logbook as you go. From Innishannon, we start every EDT lesson at the Parish Hall or your agreed point.
Holders of some foreign licences can do a reduced course of six lessons. Tell us about your licence and we will confirm which course applies. Both the manual and automatic EDT courses are priced as packages in the list, so you can see the full cost before you start.
Your closest centre is Wilton, at about 20.1 km and 20 minutes by road from Innishannon. The Mallow centre and Skibbereen are each about 55 minutes away, and either may have an earlier date than Wilton. We help you weigh up the longer drive against an earlier date before you apply.
The pretest, booked shortly before your test, is a one-hour lesson in the area around your chosen centre, followed by car hire for the test. You drive the car you practised in. For automatic learners, the pretest with car hire costs €193.81, and the manual version costs a little less.
Lessons begin near your pick-up point, with the early ones spent on Main Street getting the basics right. Once moving off and stopping come naturally, we add Macroom Road, where you can practise holding your speed and position over longer stretches.
Innishannon Parish Hall is the meeting point we offer, and it suits learners who would rather not be collected at home. If home, school or work suits you better, we agree that point instead and drop you back there after the lesson.
Bandon is 5.8 km away in a straight line, and we teach there too, as well as in Kinsale and Cork City. If you study or work in one of those, tell us, and we can plan lessons around where you spend your day.
A logbook like this one records your Essential Driver Training. After each of the 12 lessons, your instructor signs it off, so you and we can both see where you are. Once it is complete and your driving is at the standard the test asks for, we talk about a date at Wilton.
