Driving lessonsBorrisokane
Students can be met at Borrisokane Community College, and everyone else at home or at work, with the pick-up in the price. Nenagh, about 20 minutes by road, is where your test preparation points.
Borrisokane lessons, start to test
With driving lessons in Borrisokane, the hour begins at the point you agreed and ends there too. An Approved Driving Instructor teaches you in a dual-controlled car, and Nenagh, the nearest centre, is where we prepare you to test.
Collected after college
Borrisokane Community College can be the agreed pick-up point at the end of your day. Home or work suits learners who are finished with school, and no pick-up is charged extra.
ADI-led, dual-control lessons
An Approved Driving Instructor teaches every hour in a dual-controlled car. When you first drive Main Street, there is a brake on the passenger side as well as yours.
Space to settle nerves
If you are uneasy behind the wheel, your instructor slows the lesson to suit you. Voices stay calm, and Nisbett's Bridge waits until the basics are sure.
A fair word on readiness
We tell you honestly when you are ready for Nenagh. If you are not, you hear what is missing, so the test you book is one you are prepared for.
Manual or automatic, both
We teach both gearboxes. Code 78 marks an automatic-only licence after an automatic pass, while a manual pass lets you drive either.
Tell us what you need
A female instructor, a calmer pace, a particular worry: mention it when you enquire. Your answers guide the match we make.
Manual driving lessons Borrisokane
Your manual lessons in Borrisokane open with the controls: the clutch, the gears and stopping without a lurch, all close to your pick-up point. When those settle, junctions and roundabouts come in, and after them the reversing manoeuvres. Main Street and Convent Lane come early, then Nisbett's Bridge, and later lessons head further afield for practice at higher speeds. With Nenagh about 20 minutes away, the final lessons take you into the area around its test centre so the roads there are not new on the day.

Automatic driving lessons in Borrisokane cut out the clutch, so new drivers can put their attention into observation and road position. You take the same test at Nenagh. What changes is the licence: an automatic pass gives code 78 and covers automatic cars only, whereas a manual pass covers both. Mention it when you first enquire, and we check who can cover Borrisokane in an automatic.

EDT lessons in Borrisokane
Before you can book a driving test on a learner permit, you need 12 lessons of Essential Driver Training with an Approved Driving Instructor. From Borrisokane, every one of them begins at the pick-up point we agreed, and each is signed into your logbook as it ends.
The lessons are planned for you, and each one simply moves your driving forward. A shorter course of six lessons is open to some holders of foreign licences. In a manual car, the full 12 come to €587.95, with pick-up included in every one.
The EDT guide ↗Testing at Nenagh from Borrisokane
Nenagh is the centre to aim for: 19.4 km from Borrisokane by road, about 20 minutes. The next options are a long way further. Woodview in Limerick and Thurles are both close to an hour away, at about 55 and 60 minutes, and Shannon about 65. So we plan your lessons around Nenagh unless you tell us otherwise.
The pretest is an hour in the area around the Nenagh centre, or the one you chose, booked for shortly before your test. It includes the car you sit the test in. The pretest is €193.81 in an automatic. Ask us about it on 021 2355558 once your test date arrives.
Where Borrisokane lessons lead
Lessons start near where you were picked up, with time to find the controls and get comfortable. Main Street and Convent Lane are the first roads you build on. Nisbett's Bridge comes later, along with longer drives that let you practise speed, spacing and planning ahead.
Borrisokane Community College suits students as a meeting point, and anyone can choose home or work instead. Tell us which when you book. Your instructor drops you back at the same place, or at another point you have agreed, and none of it costs extra.
In a straight line, Cloughjordan is 8.9 km from Borrisokane and Roscrea 22.9 km. Lessons run there as well, and in Scariff over the Clare border, each starting from a pick-up point in that town, at the same price as here.

The EDT: a guide
Your logbook is where the 12 EDT lessons are recorded, each signed by your instructor before you leave the car. Learners in Borrisokane keep it with their learner permit and bring both every time. Once the last entry is signed, we talk honestly about whether to book Nenagh now or after a few more hours.
The EDT guide ↗ Preparing for the test ↗A few good questions
Do I have to test in Nenagh from Borrisokane?
No, but it is by far the nearest, about 20 minutes by road. Woodview, Thurles and Shannon are all about an hour or more away. You can apply to any of them, and we plan your pretest for whichever you choose.
Can students be picked up from the community college?
Yes. When the community college is your agreed pick-up point, your instructor waits for you there, and at the end of the hour drops you back or brings you home, whichever you chose.
How much will I pay per hour in Borrisokane?
A single manual hour is €53.27, and that includes the pick-up and drop-off. Automatic lessons are a little dearer, and both prices are on the tickets. Payment is online or by phone.
Can I start lessons before my theory test?
No. The NDLS issues a learner permit only after you pass the theory test, and lessons on the road need that permit. Once you have it, send the form or call 021 2355558 and we arrange your first lesson in Borrisokane.
