A Driving School in Athea you can trust
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 poor teachers that had no business teaching anyone. Not all teachers are made equal and that is no less real with driving instructors. It's not as simple as Googling 'Driving Lessons Athea' and choosing the first driving school you stumble upon. Who can you have faith in to give you that enjoyable and engaging driving lesson experience?
You need a driving school with a reputation built on experience and student success. A driving school that gets students past the test.

Congratulations Pavani Rynhart who chose us for their pretest driving lessons
I had 2-3 lessons with before my test. He came highly recommended and they were right! He is very patient, observant and his vast experience previously as a tester was helpful. I have driven for many years but failed a test once before. He was able to prep me to be the right mental view of the whole driving test experience. It comes to show that being mentally prepared is just as important and not many instructors can help with that! Thanks ! Dr. Punitha Rynhart

Essential Driver Training: The history?
EDT Driving Lessons Athea
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 implemented a new and mandatory training initiative for new drivers. 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.
This 12 lesson syllabus has been designed to ensure young drivers practice vital driving skills and develop a more comprehensive understanding of road safety.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT.
Getting ready for the Driving Test in Athea
Pretest Driving Lessons Athea
There is learning the vital driving skills and developing your knowledge of road signs and road safety. Then you must master the conditions of the driving test and understand what to expect. The test is your chance to show that you are safe enough to drive unaccompanied. And naturally, as with any test, if you understand the conditions and what to expect you can pass easily.
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. The good news is you don't need to worry any more.
Our pretest driving lessons packages have been refined over many decades to give you a deep understanding of what will happen on test day leaving you without any doubt or fear.
We don’t like leaving things to chance. 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. That means less lessons and less expense to you.
