AT LAST THE BEST DRIVING LESSONS Ballygarvan HAS TO OFFER
When you start your driving lessons you need a nurturing environment. That's why we have a no shouting policy. Creating a learning environment like this starts with us and our instructors. Our driving instructors are trained beyond the normal requirements to ensure you get only the best. Our instructors are passionate about teaching people to drive and work hard to give you the ultimate driving lesson experience. In the end that is what being a driving instructor is all about. Bridging the gap and turning a nervous beginner into a safe, confident driver.
Here is why students call us the best driving school in Ballygarvan
Our instructors have been trained to quickly recognise what level you are at, where your bad habits are and what remedial measures should be taken to guarantee you make the most progress possible from each lesson with us.
Taking one or two driving lessons a week in Ballygarvan is often not enough for some students. Wouldn't it be great if you had an instructor with you 24/7? Unfortunately that's not possible which is why we developed our own support and training material for you to study between your lessons, giving you more bang for your buck.
No other Ballygarvan Driving Schools offer free material like ours. With our free home study support material you'll be prepared for every lesson and develop faster as a driver than with any other driving school. This material helps you grasp and understand those tricky areas of driving like roundabouts, night driving and your driving test maneuvers.
Refreshingly Good Driving Lessons in Ballygarvan
We all remember the fun engaging teacher at 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 certainly no less true with driving instructors. It is easy to Google 'Driving Lessons Ballygarvan' and find driving instructors near you but which can you trust to best teach you.
Knowledge and professionalism is what you need from a driving school. A place where students 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 :)
RSA School of Motoring have the precise reputation for student success we have been talking about and we have the verified testimonials to prove it. So if you need driving instruction you would be getting a head start choosing us. Let us explain to you why.
Generally pupils are one of the following. You are either starting or need to complete your EDT driving lessons. Or you need to start your driving test preparation.
What's the difference?
The EDT: What is it?
EDT Driving Lessons Ballygarvan
Fact! Ireland has one of the worst road death statistics in Europe. The EDT was brought in by the Road Safety Authority to help combat the situation.
The EDT syllabus requires that 12 structured driving lessons have to be completed, stamped and uploaded to the RSA website by a registered ADI.
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.
The Test: Crucial preparation
Pretest Driving Lessons Ballygarvan
First you must master the rules of the road, the road signs and skills involved to control a car safely. And then there is learning to pass the driving test. Being allowed to drive alone on Ballygarvan roads is a privilege you will need to earn and the driving test is your chance to do it. 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. 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.
Most driving instructors will 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.
By the end you’ll understand fully the four stages of the test and understand exactly what the driving tester is looking for from you, how they will speak to you on the day and why and when the tester will mark the sheet.
