Driving Lessons Garryowen Residents Love
Fear of driving is a very common and we understand it is very important to provide the right atmosphere for our students. There most definitely should be no yelling involved. It's our responsibility to make sure you are comfortable behind the wheel. Which is why our instructors get that little bit extra training above the standard you'll usually see out there. Driving instruction is about listening and responding to your needs. And this is exactly where the expertise of our driving instructors is focused. Bridging the gap and turning a nervous beginner into a safe, confident driver.
Here is why customers call us the top driving school in Garryowen
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 Garryowen is often not enough for some students. To help our students with this we have built our own training course to study between lessons to help reinforce what you learn in the car.
When it comes to value no other driving school in Garryowen can offer what we do to our pupils. Many of our pupils have even attributed it to their fast progress and development.

Our extra lesson material means you can follow up on what was covered before the next lesson ensuring you don't waste time and money going over the same things.

Keith Keogh passed the test with RSA School of Motoring
I contacted RSA School of Motoring a week prior to my driving test and had 2 lessons and also a pre-test on the day of my driving test. The advice I was given and things I learned from RSA is fantastic, I was put right at ease and given great confidence for the test and needless to say I passed!!!! I would highly recommend RSA School of Motoring to anybody applying for their driving test.

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!
We now have helped countless pupils pass the driving test so before you continue your search we urge you to consider RSA School of Motoring for your driving lessons in Garryowen. Read on to discover why.
Most of our students fall under one of the following. Either you have your EDT done and need to prepare for the driving test. Or you have never driven before and need to get your Essential Driver Training started.
So here is a little information on our approach.
The EDT: The facts?
EDT Driving Lessons Garryowen
Fact! Ireland has one of the worst road death statistics in Europe. The Essential Driver Training Syllabus was created by the Road Safety Authority to help combat the issue.
This EDT requires that all learners must complete a minimum of 12 hours of essential driver training by an RSA approved driving instructor.
In an attempt 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 Test: Crucial preparation
Pretest Driving Lessons Garryowen
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. Our Garryowen pretest driving lessons are designed to show you how to beat the test by understanding the situations you will be placed under.
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. They so often get the best of even the most seasoned driver. 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 pretest driving lessons packages have been refined over many decades to give you a deep understanding of what will happen on test day leaving you without any doubt or fear.
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.
