Driving Lessons Ballinhassig 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. That means no stress and no yelling.
WHY WE SAY WE ARE THE Leading DRIVING SCHOOL IN Ballinhassig
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.
Retaining all the new information you're hit with when learning to drive is tough for any student. Which is why we have also developed a free email course, full of premium content and video tutorials to serve as a guide and to support throughout your essential driver training.
We have seen students consistently progress faster with the use of our home study support material. Our extra bonus training will give you the head start all your EDT driving lessons, on road rules and on the driving test. No other Ballinhassig driving school offers such a comprehensive service as this.
A Driving School in Ballinhassig you can count on
We all remember the fun engaging teacher in school that made learning fun and easy. And then we had the opposite, those teachers that had no place in the classroom. Not all teachers are made equal and that is no less a fact with driving instructors. It's not as simple as Googling 'Driving Lessons Ballinhassig' and picking the first driving school you stumble upon. Who can you believe in to give you that fun and engaging driving lesson experience?
Naturally you want to pick a driving school that has a fantastic record. A place where learners are consistently passing their driving test first time.

Just passed my test this morning all thanks to the help from ! I had taken the test twice over the last few years and failed and wasn't thrilled about trying it a 3rd time because of the previous results, but got recommended to by a friend so after only 3 hours in total of pre tests I passed, delighted! knows what he is talking about and guides you through the testing routes very calmly,professionally and puts you at ease with the overall test and what is expected of you. I can't recommend him enough as an instructor and I wouldn't have passed without him. Thanks a mill :)

The Test: Crucial preparation
Pretest Driving Lessons Ballinhassig
The art of driving safely and the art of passing the driving 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. Pretest training is about understanding the driving test itself and how you can beat it.
If you have to prepare for the driving test then your head is probably a wash with different emotions. Fear of failing, fear of nerves getting the better of you or just fear of the unknown. But with RSA School of Motoring you don't have to be afraid.
Our tried and tested pretest training packages have been developed to specifically help you overcome your nerves and come out with a deep understanding on what will happen on test day.
We don’t like leaving things to chance. We simulate for you all 4 stages of the test, teach you all the test routes and focus on the areas of your driving that are most likely to get you the most marks or fail you.
Using this method we get our student past the test in half the time it takes other driving school. Passing fast means you save money.
