Driving Lessons Gougane Residents Love
Our revolutionary approach to teaching young people to drive is unmatched. Good driving instruction is about passion, about listening to the student and pushing them to excel. Which is why we continually train and upskill our instructors to not only give you the best driving lesson experience there is to be had in Gougane but also to give you a calm relaxed environment to learn in. You will never see our instructors lose their cool.
WHY WE SAY WE ARE THE Leading DRIVING SCHOOL IN Gougane
We want you to develop as a driver as fast as you can and as safe as you can. Our instructors don't drill the same things into you over and over. They assess your driving and focus on fixing your bad habits and building your road craft.
As well as this higher standard of driving instruction you receive on driving lessons with us we also have our online training guides, tutorials and support material, all delivered periodically direct to your inbox.
This is just one initiative that sets us apart from the competition in Gougane. Many of our pupils have even attributed it to their fast progress and development. Lessons come and go fast and it is easy to forget what you have learned. 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.
Refreshingly Good Driving Lessons in Gougane
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 certainly no less a fact with approved driving instructors. It's not as straightforward as Googling 'Driving Lessons Gougane' and picking the first driving school you stumble upon. Who can you believe in to give you that fun and engaging driving lesson experience?
You need a driving instructor with a reputation built on experience and student success. A driving school that gets pupils to pass the driving test.

RSA School of Motoring have the precise 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. Read on to understand why.
Which category do you fall under? 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.
What's the difference?
The EDT: The history?
EDT Driving Lessons Gougane
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.
Learning to drive safely means knowing and exercising particular driving skills and these 12 EDT lessons have been designed to do just that.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT.
Preparing for the Test in Gougane
Pretest Driving Lessons Gougane
The skill of driving safely and the art of passing the test should not be confused as the same. 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 your test is booked there is a lot of unknowns and fears to contend with. 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, eliminate 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 don’t like leaving things to chance. Our pretest training fully simulates the 4 different stages of the driving test and fully prepares you for the way the tester will talk to you and how they mark the test sheet.
When we share this knowledge and understanding with our students it is like giving them all the answers to an exam before they even know the questions. Which is why so many of our student pass first time. Passing fast means you save money.
