WHY WE SAY WE ARE THE BEST DRIVING SCHOOL IN Kilmacthomas
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.
Another thing we see a lot is students coming back for a follow up lesson having forgotten much of what was covered in the lesson before. Which is why we created our own unique training guides and tutorials to support you throughout your driver training.
We have seen students consistently progress faster with the use of our home study support material. Our course walks you through the Essential Driver Training syllabus and helps with aspects of your driving like right and left turns giving you a better theoretical understanding of what safe driving really is. No other Kilmacthomas driving school offers such a comprehensive service as this.
Refreshingly Good Driving Lessons in Kilmacthomas
When we were in school we all had our favorite teachers, the ones that engaged us and made learning fun. And we can recall the lousy teachers that had no business teaching anyone. Not all teachers are made equal and that is certainly no less real with approved driving instructors. It's not as straightforward as searching 'Driving Lessons Kilmacthomas' and picking the first driving school you see. Who can you believe in to give you that fun and engaging experience?
You need a driving school with a reputation built on experience and student success. A driving school that gets people to pass the driving test.

Passed first time! I just want to say a big thank you to my driving instructor and the RSA School of Motoring for helping me pass successfully on my first attempted... Was an amazing instructor who showed me how I should drive and spent a lot of time refining my techniques to the level required to pass. He also worked on making me a confident and calm driver which was a big advantage on the day of my test...I heard of the RSA School of Motoring through a work colleague who said they were extremely good and helped her pass successfully. I'm so glad she recommend them and I would definitely recommend them to anyone learning to drive. I can now say I feel confident enough to drive anywhere on my own :)

What is the EDT?

It is an sad fact that Ireland is among the worst countries in Europe for road deaths and accidents. The Road Safety Authority had to do something so they designed a new training syllabus that all new drivers had to complete. The Essential Driver Training or EDT.
The EDT consists of 12 compulsory lessons that must be delivered by a RSA approved driving instructor to all learner drivers.
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.

Getting ready for the Driving Test in Kilmacthomas

The skill of driving safely and the art of passing the test should not be confused as the same. You should already have the vital driving skills and road safety knowledge before applying for the test. Our Kilmacthomas pretest driving lessons are designed to show you how to beat the test by understanding the conditions you will be placed under.
If you have to prepare for the driving test then your head is probably a wash with different emotions. Fear of failing, fear of nerves getting the better of you or just fear of the unknown. Well fear not.
It is standard practice by many driving instructors to keep giving you lessons until they 'think' you are ready. Often they will send you to do the test not really knowing if you will pass or not. 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.
Complete your pretest training with is and not only will you fully grasp all four stages of the driving test, you'll know the potential test routes you may be brought on and you'll know exactly how the tester will talk to you and what they specifically want you to demonstrate.
