Rachael Buggle
Rachael Buggle passed the test with RSA School of Motoring
I failed my test several times and had lost faith in my ability to actually pass the test. A friend suggested that I contact the School of Motoring for a new instructor. They suggested who specialized in aiding those who had not been successful. After a few lessons I was ready to sit my test again and passed it. I highly recommend this school and this instructor. I don't think I would have passed my test without their help.

Jamie O'Connell took pretest driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring
My driving instructor Colman was fantastic. He was friendly, very patient and gave great clear instruction. I felt well prepared when it came to the test (I passed two weeks back). I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is learning to drive. You won't find a better instructor!

Essential Driver Training: What is it?
EDT Driving Lessons Fermoy
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.
In an effort to lower crashes and fill the apparent driving skills gap that many new road users were lacking, the 12 lesson syllabus was developed.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT.
The Driving Test: Crucial preparation
Pretest Driving Lessons Fermoy
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. Which 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 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. That means less lessons and less expense to you.
