A Driving School in Clonmel you can trust
When we were in school we all had our favorite teachers, the ones that engaged us and made learning fun. 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 approved driving instructors. It's not as straightforward as Googling 'Driving Lessons Clonmel' and picking the first driving school you find. Who can you have faith in to offer you that fun and engaging driving lesson experience?
Knowledge and professionalism is what you need from a driving instructor. A place where pupils are consistently passing their driving test first time.

Paul Kinsella passed the test with RSA School of Motoring
I just passed my test today all thanks and credit goes to my instructor. I have been driving for some years and had failed my test on a couple of occasions. I decided to change test centers and contacted RSA School of Motoring a couple of weeks prior to my driving test and had 2 lessons and also a pre-test on the day of my driving test. you showed true professionalism in what you do I cant thank you enough. You Identified the grey areas were I was going wrong and I was put right at ease with your patience and understanding. Having that knowledge and experience sitting beside me advising me on what was required and expected of me just gave me great confidence on the day of the test. I certainly will recommend RSA to anyone I know and will highly recommend . Thanks again.

RSA School of Motoring have the exact track record of student success we have been talking about and we have the verified reviews to prove it. So if you need driving lessons 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.
What exactly is Essential Driver Training?
EDT Driving Lessons Clonmel
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 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.
These 12 lessons were created with the intention of filling in the vital driving skill gaps that young drivers had which were leading to the high level of road accidents occurring each year.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT.
Preparing for the Driving Test in Clonmel
Pretest Driving Lessons Clonmel
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 Clonmel roads is a freedom you will need to earn and the driving test is your opportunity 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. We naturally fear what we don't understand and 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. They 'think' you are ready but they do not really 'know'. That is because of a total lack of understanding on how the tester thinks and marks you during the test. This is not how we do things. 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.
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. That means less lessons and less expense to you.
