We collect you from home, work or Kildimo National School, and the lesson price includes it. The drive to Castlemungret, your nearest test centre, takes about 15 minutes.
Driving lessons in Kildimo are one hour each, taught by an Approved Driving Instructor in a dual-controlled car. You are collected, taught at your own pace and told honestly when you are ready.
Kildimo National School can be your agreed pick-up point, or home or work if that suits better. Being collected and dropped back is in the price.
Every lesson is with an Approved Driving Instructor in a dual-controlled car. If you need help on your first drive down Main Street, it is right there.
Your instructor keeps lessons calm and never shouts. Nervous learners take each step when they are ready, with no pressure to hurry.
We tell you honestly whether you are ready for Castlemungret, and what is missing if you are not. You will not be talked into hours you do not need.
Choose the car that fits your plans. A manual pass covers both types, while an automatic pass is limited by code 78 to automatics.
You can ask for a female instructor when you enquire, and tell us anything else that would help. We bear it in mind when we choose who teaches you.
Manual lessons in Kildimo begin with the controls near your pick-up point: clutch, gears, steering, and stopping exactly where you plan to. Junctions, roundabouts and reversing follow in turn. Main Street comes into the early lessons, and the drives then go further out to give you practice at higher speeds. Because Castlemungret is about 15 minutes away, your last lessons can spend real time in the area around the centre.
Ask about manual lessons ↗
Our automatic driving lessons in Kildimo use a car with no clutch and no gear lever to work, so you can concentrate on observation and positioning from the first hour. The test is the same as for manual learners. The licence is not: an automatic pass is marked code 78 and limits you to automatic cars, while a manual pass covers both. Ask about automatic times for Kildimo, and we confirm your car and instructor.
Ask about automatic lessons ↗Kildimo is priced like Pallaskenry, Adare and every other town we cover, with collection from your agreed point in every ticket.
EDT, or Essential Driver Training, is 12 lessons with an Approved Driving Instructor that you must complete before the test if you hold a learner permit. We start each one from your pick-up point in Kildimo, and your instructor signs the logbook when it ends.
You will not see a list of EDT lessons to work through on your own, because your instructor plans them, and they feel like ordinary lessons. Some foreign licence holders need only six. In an automatic, all 12 cost €659.24.
From Kildimo, the road to Castlemungret is 11.4 km, roughly 15 minutes behind the wheel. If it has no date that suits, Shannon is about 25 minutes away and Newcastle West about 30. Ennis takes about 40 minutes from Kildimo. We plan your final lessons around whichever one you choose.
The pretest gives you an hour in the area around your centre just before the test, plus car hire for the test itself. In a manual, the pretest costs €183.63. You sit the test in the car you practised in, after a last full hour on roads near the centre.
Your first lesson starts near your pick-up point, with time to learn the controls before anything else. Main Street comes in once moving off feels easy. After that, drives reach further out of Kildimo, adding speed, junctions and planning, one step per lesson.
Your instructor can meet you at Kildimo National School if that suits. You can also choose home or work instead. Agree it with us when you book, and you can be dropped at the same point or at another agreed one.
Pallaskenry is next on our list, 4.2 km away in a straight line, with Adare at 6.8 km. We teach in both, and in Patrickswell, so a learner who works in one town and lives in another can simply tell us which town suits for pick-up.
Twelve EDT lessons, twelve signatures. Your logbook is signed at the end of each hour by your instructor, so by the time the course is done you have a full record. In Kildimo, with Castlemungret so close, the pretest can follow soon after, once your instructor agrees you are ready.
The EDT guide ↗ Preparing for the test ↗By road it is 11.4 km, roughly 15 minutes. Being that close means more of your pretest hour goes on the area around the centre rather than on travel. After it comes Shannon, about 25 minutes away.
Yes, once it is agreed as your pick-up point. Your instructor meets you there and brings you back at the end of the hour, or drops you home if that was arranged.
Possibly, and that is normal. The 12 are the minimum the rules set, and beyond them it depends on how you progress. We tell you honestly when you are ready, so you never pay for hours you do not need.
