Driving Lessons Blarney People Love
Fear of driving is a very common and we understand it is very important to provide the right atmosphere for our students. That's why we have a no shouting policy. Creating a learning environment like this starts with us and our instructors. Which is why our instructors get that little bit extra training above the standard you'll usually see out there. Our instructors are passionate about teaching people to drive and work hard to give you the ultimate driving lesson experience. Our instructors passion for driving is infectious and aimed at one thing. Bridging the gap and turning a nervous beginner into a safe, confident driver.
Here is why people call us the best driving school in Blarney
Everybody has bad habits and there is no such thing as a perfect driver. We don't waste time trying to make you a perfect driver. We fix areas of your driving need the most work so you progress fast and stay safe.
This level of driving instruction is fantastic but we also feel that gaps between lessons can often slow progress so all our pupils also get free access to our online training platform to help reinforce their learning.
You will develop your understanding of driving up to 3 times faster with the aid of our home study material. Our course walks you through the Essential Driver Training syllabus and helps with aspects of your driving like right and left turns giving you a better theoretical understanding of what safe driving really is. This additional free training material is not offered by any other driving school in Blarney.

Who can you believe in to offer you that enjoyable and engaging driving lesson experience?
Obviously you want to pick a driving school that has a great record. A driving school that gets students past the test.

RSA School of Motoring have the precise track record of pupil success we have been talking about and we have the verified reviews to show it. So if you need driving instruction you would be getting a head start choosing us. Let us show you why.
More than likely you fall into one of two categories. You need to complete or start your 12 EDT driving lessons. Or you need to start your driving test preparation.
Let us start there.
Essential Driver Training: The history?
EDT Driving Lessons Blarney
As part of an initiative to improve the poor statistics of young drivers getting killed or injured on our roads the Road Safety Authority introduced the Essential Driver Training Syllabus.
The EDT syllabus requires that 12 structured driving lessons have to be completed, stamped and uploaded to the RSA website by a registered ADI.
Learning to drive safely means understanding and practicing specific driving skills and these 12 EDT lessons have been intended to do just that.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT.
The Driving Test: Crucial preparation
Pretest Driving Lessons Blarney
Training to pass the driving test is completely different from learning to drive. Long before sitting the driving test you should have the necessary skills and understanding to drive without putting your life or the lives of others in danger. Pretest training is about understanding the driving test itself and how you can beat it.
If you haven't done any preparation for your driving test the your are in the dark and being in the dark can cause a lot of fears to rise up. Fear can distract even the most experienced of drivers. So it makes perfect sense that we have to shine a light in the dark, remove the unknowns and the fear. And that is precisely what our pretest driving lessons will do.
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're not in the business of gambling on your success. 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.
