Keith Keogh passed the test with RSA School of Motoring
I contacted RSA School of Motoring a week prior to my driving test and had 2 lessons and also a pre-test on the day of my driving test. The advice I was given and things I learned from RSA is fantastic, I was put right at ease and given great confidence for the test and needless to say I passed!!!! I would highly recommend RSA School of Motoring to anybody applying for their driving test.

Another one passes the test. Well done niamh lalor
Passed first time! I just want to say a big thank you to my driving instructor and the RSA School of Motoring for helping me pass successfully on my first attempted... Was an amazing instructor who showed me how I should drive and spent a lot of time refining my techniques to the level required to pass. He also worked on making me a confident and calm driver which was a big advantage on the day of my test...I heard of the RSA School of Motoring through a work colleague who said they were extremely good and helped her pass successfully. I'm so glad she recommend them and I would definitely recommend them to anyone learning to drive. I can now say I feel confident enough to drive anywhere on my own :)

Essential Driver Training: The history?
EDT Driving Lessons Abington
You may not know but many years ago Ireland had one of the worst road accident records in Europe. In an effort to control these stats the Road Safety Authority introduced a new and compulsory training initiative for first time drivers. The Essential Driver Training or EDT.
The EDT syllabus requires that 12 structured driving lessons have to be completed, stamped and uploaded to the RSA website by a registered ADI.
In an effort to reduce accidents and fill the apparent driving skills gap that many new road users were lacking, the 12 lesson syllabus was created.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT.
The Test: Crucial preparation
Pretest Driving Lessons Abington
There is learning the vital driving skills and developing your knowledge of road signs and road safety. And then there is learning to pass the driving test. Being allowed to drive by yourself on Abington roads is a right you must earn and the driving test is your opportunity to do it. Like any exam you have ever had to sit, 80% of passing the driving test is accomplished long before the day of the test with correct preparation.
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. So it stands to reason that we have to shine a light in the dark, eliminate the unknowns and the fear. Which is precisely what our pretest driving lessons will do.
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. And they do this because they do not truly understand the driving test, how you will be graded or what areas of your driving will cause you to fail. Luckily this is not how we operate. 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.
Complete your pretest training with is and not only will you understand all four stages of the driving test, you'll know the potential test routes you may be brought on and you'll know exactly how the tester will speak to you and what they specifically want you to demonstrate.
