WHY WE SAY WE ARE THE Preferred DRIVING SCHOOL IN Portlaw
Everybody has bad habits and there is no such thing as a perfect driver. 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.
This is just one initiative that sets us apart from the competition in Portlaw. With our free home study support material you'll be prepared for every lesson and develop faster as a driver than with any other driving school. This material helps you grasp and understand those tricky areas of driving like roundabouts, night driving and your driving test maneuvers.

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.

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 hundreds of learners pass the driving test so before you carry on your search we encourage you to consider RSA School of Motoring for your driver training in Portlaw. Let us explain to you why.
Generally pupils are one of the following. You are either starting or need to complete your EDT driving lessons. Or you need to start your driving test preparation.
So here is a little information on our approach.
What exactly is the EDT?
EDT Driving Lessons Portlaw
It is an sad fact that Ireland is one of the worst countries in Europe for road deaths and accidents. In an effort to reduce these statistics the Road Safety Authority implemented a new and compulsory training initiative for new drivers. The Essential Driver Training or EDT.
This Essential Driver Training Syllabus requires that all learners must complete a minimum of 12 hours of essential driver training by an RSA approved driving instructor.
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.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT.
The Test: Crucial preparation
Pretest Driving Lessons Portlaw
Training to pass the driving test is completely different from learning to drive. You should already have the vital driving skills and road safety knowledge before applying for the test. 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. Our approach removes all the unknowns and associated fear that comes with it.
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. 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. That means less lessons and less expense to you.
