In all our years teaching we have never seen a perfect driver because one doesn't exist. Being safe and confident is all you need to aim for. We want you to feel like you have made great progress after each lesson, both in practice and understanding which is why our ADI's are trained to home in on your weakest areas ensuring time isn't wasted on areas of your driving that are fine.
We have always maintained a focus on a want to give our students more. Wouldn't it be great if you had an instructor with you 24/7?

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.

Rob Bowes
Another one passes the test. Well done Rob Bowes
I got in touch with two weeks before my test on a recommendation from a friend. Within the first lesson was able to tell me exactly what I needed to fix in order to pass my test. I was feeling confident that I knew what had to be done going into the test to be successful. knew exactly what he was doing and is clearly very experienced in teaching driving as due to his help I passed first time after 3 lessons with him. Can't thank enough! Highly recommend.

The EDT: The history?
EDT Driving Lessons Killarney
You may not know but many years ago Ireland had one of the worst road accident records in Europe. To help stem these statistics the Road Safety Authority introduced a new and compulsory training initiative for new drivers. The Essential Driver Training or EDT.
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 effort to lower accidents and fill the evident driving skills gap that many new road users were lacking, the 12 lesson syllabus was created.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT.
The Test: Crucial preparation
Pretest Driving Lessons Killarney
The art 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. Our Killarney pretest driving lessons are designed to show you how to beat the test by understanding the situations you will be placed under.
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. Well fear not.
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'. And they do this because they do not truly understand the driving test, how you will be graded or what areas of your driving will cause you to fail. Luckily this is not how we operate. 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 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.
