Driving lessonsLixnaw
All 12 of your EDT lessons can start at home in Lixnaw, with an Approved Driving Instructor collecting you and dropping you back each time.
Your EDT, from Lixnaw
Driving lessons in Lixnaw are an hour long, and pick-up is included. Your instructor is RSA-approved, and you get an honest answer about readiness before you apply for a date at Tralee.
Collected at home
We pick you up at home, school or work in Lixnaw and bring you back after the hour. That is included in every lesson price.
Only approved instructors teach
Every hour is spent with an Approved Driving Instructor, approved by the RSA, in a dual-controlled car. That holds from your opening pull-away to the lessons over Lixnaw Bridge.
Calm, no shouting
If driving makes you nervous, say so. Lessons stay calm, and you take Ballyhorgan Bridge only when you are comfortable doing it.
Readiness, honestly judged
We judge readiness on your driving alone. If you are ready for the Tralee centre we say so, and if not, you hear exactly what is missing.
Manual or automatic
You can ask to learn in either. An automatic pass brings a code 78 licence, limited to automatic cars, whereas a manual pass lets you drive both.
Speak up about preferences
When you enquire, tell us what matters most. You can ask for a female instructor, and we confirm which driving instructor in Lixnaw can take you.
Manual driving lessons Lixnaw
Your manual lessons start with the car's controls and pulling away safely from home. Over the following hours you work on mirrors and junctions, first over Lixnaw Bridge and later Crompaun Bridge. Then come reversing and parking, and longer drives toward Tralee. Every lesson carries on from where the previous one stopped. Your EDT lessons slot into this same progression. By test standard, the decisions are all yours for the full hour.
Ask about manual lessons ↗Automatic driving lessons Lixnaw
Automatic driving lessons in Lixnaw cut out the clutch and gear changes. For some learners that makes the early lessons less of a strain. But the licence matters. Once you pass in an automatic, your licence is marked code 78 and you are limited to automatic cars. A manual licence has no such mark. Ask about automatic when you enquire, and we will confirm the car.

EDT lessons in Lixnaw
Every learner must complete 12 EDT lessons with an Approved Driving Instructor before the driving test. In Lixnaw, each of them can start at your door. Your instructor signs it off in your logbook before you get out of the car.
If you hold one of the foreign licences that qualify, you may need only a reduced six-lesson course, so ask us first. In an automatic, the full course is €659.24, and you can pay online or by phone. We will not push you into hours you do not need.
The EDT guide ↗Taking your test from Lixnaw
Your nearest centre is Tralee, about 20 minutes and 18.9 km by road from Lixnaw. If the wait there is long, look at Newcastle West or Killarney, about 50 minutes each, since a further centre may have an earlier date. Whichever you choose, the pretest takes place in the area around it. We help you weigh it up.
Shortly before your test, the pretest puts you in the area around the Tralee centre for an hour's lesson. You then take the test in that same hired car. Expect to pay €183.63 for a manual pretest. If you have chosen Newcastle West or Killarney instead, the pretest happens there. It is the last step before the real thing.
Lixnaw bridges and beyond
The opening lessons stay near your home in Lixnaw while you learn the controls. Lixnaw Bridge usually comes next. After that, lessons take in Ballyhorgan Bridge and Crompaun Bridge as your road position and speed control improve. Near the end of the course, you drive further, toward Tralee.
Pick-up is from home, school or work in Lixnaw, at a point you agree with us when you enquire. If you are at school, being collected there saves time between class and the lesson. Drop-off is back at the same point unless you ask otherwise.
We teach in Ballyduff, 6.5 km away in a straight line, and Listowel, 10.2 km. Tralee is 16.1 km in a straight line, and it is also where your nearest test centre is. Lessons there are booked the same way as here.

The EDT: a guide
Keep your logbook somewhere safe between lessons. It holds the signature for each EDT lesson, and you cannot sit the test until the course is complete. When it is, and your driving is steady, we tell you honestly. Then you decide whether to apply for a date at Tralee or wait a little.
The EDT guide ↗ Preparing for the test ↗A few good questions
Do lessons in Lixnaw start from my house?
They can. Home is one of the agreed pick-up points, along with school or work in Lixnaw. Tell us which when you enquire, and your instructor collects you there and drops you back after the hour.
What is the road distance from Lixnaw to Tralee?
It is 18.9 km, which takes about 20 minutes. Newcastle West and Killarney are both about 50 minutes, and either may have an earlier date if Tralee is booked up. We can prepare you for any of them.
Can I do all my EDT lessons from Lixnaw?
Yes. Every one of the 12 can start at your agreed pick-up point in Lixnaw. Each is signed off in your logbook at the end. Holders of some foreign licences may qualify for a six-lesson reduced course instead.
Can I pay for lessons in Lixnaw online?
Yes. Online and phone payments both work. A single manual lesson is €53.27, and collection from home, school or work in Lixnaw is included in that price. The same applies to the EDT course and the pretest.
