Driving lessons Borrisoleigh
How Borrisoleigh lessons run
Driving lessons in Borrisoleigh mean an hour at a time with an Approved Driving Instructor, a dual-controlled car and collection from a point you choose. We prepare you for Thurles or Nenagh, whichever suits your test date.
Collected from your own door
There is no meeting point to find in Borrisoleigh: we collect you from home, school or work, so nobody has to drive you into Thurles first. The pick-up is in the price.
RSA-approved teaching
Every lesson is with an Approved Driving Instructor, and the car has dual controls, which matters most when you first cross Rathmoy Bridge.
No shouting, ever
Learners who are nervous set the speed of the lesson. Your instructor stays calm and explains as you go, and nothing new is added until you are ready.
Thurles or Nenagh, when ready
Whichever centre you pick, Thurles or Nenagh, we tell you plainly when your driving is ready for it. If it is not yet, you hear the reason.
Pick a gearbox
Both kinds of car are on offer. Your licence after an automatic pass carries code 78, which limits it to automatics, while a manual pass covers both.
Your instructor, your choice
When you enquire, mention a preference for a female instructor or anything else that would help, and we take it into account when we match you to an instructor for Borrisoleigh.

Manual driving lessons Borrisoleigh
Manual lessons from Borrisoleigh begin with the basics near your pick-up: the clutch, gear changes, steering and smooth stops. When moving off is routine, junctions and roundabouts come in, then reversing. Rathmoy Bridge is part of the early lessons, and the drives reach further out as you improve, building your speed control and observation. Near the end, your instructor takes you into the area around the centre you chose, Thurles at about 15 minutes or Nenagh at about 25.

Automatic driving lessons Borrisoleigh
Automatic driving lessons in Borrisoleigh do away with the clutch, so the early hours feel less crowded. Observation, positioning and the test itself are unchanged. The licence is different afterwards: an automatic pass carries code 78, restricting you to automatic cars, while a manual pass allows both. Ask for an automatic when you enquire, and we find out which instructor can teach you in one.

EDT lessons in Borrisoleigh
12EDT lessons6Reduced EDT
Essential Driver Training is the RSA's 12-lesson course for learner permit holders, taken with an Approved Driving Instructor before the test. From Borrisoleigh, each lesson starts at your agreed pick-up point and ends with a signature in the logbook you keep.
Your instructor plans each EDT lesson, so it feels like ordinary driving rather than a course to study for. A licence from some other countries may qualify you for six lessons instead of 12. In a manual, the whole course is €587.95.

Getting ready for the test
Thurles or Nenagh, your call
Thurles is 15.2 km away by road, about 15 minutes, and Nenagh 24 km, about 25, so either works from Borrisoleigh. Both are close enough for practice in their area, so pick the one with the date that suits you. Tipperary town and Clonmel are much further, at about 55 and 50 minutes.
A pretest comes just before the test itself: one hour in the area around your centre, plus the car you will test in. An automatic pretest is €193.81. That way, your last practice and your test happen in the same car. Book it through the form once you have a date.

Learning in Borrisoleigh
Learning the roads near Borrisoleigh
Your first lesson starts close to where you are collected, with the car and its controls as the only task. Rathmoy Bridge comes in as your confidence grows, and later lessons travel further from Borrisoleigh so you get practice on faster roads and more kinds of junction.
With no named meeting point here, pick-up is personal: your house, your school or your job, agreed with us when you book. You can be dropped at the same place or at another agreed point if that fits your day better.
Templemore, 10.0 km away in a straight line, and Thurles, 13.0 km, are two of our towns, and Holycross is another. Each has its own pick-up arrangement, made with the learner when they book, at the same price as here.

EDT and the test
The EDT: a guide
Each EDT lesson in Borrisoleigh finishes the same way: your instructor signs your logbook. Once twelve are in, the course is done. Bring the logbook and your permit to every lesson, so nothing holds you up. After that, we look at whether you are ready to book Thurles or Nenagh, and if not, what to work on first.

Borrisoleigh questions
A few good questions
Would Nenagh ever make more sense than Thurles?
Thurles is nearer, about 15 minutes by road, and Nenagh about 25. Both are fine choices, so the date on offer usually decides. Once you apply, we plan your pretest for that centre.
Where do lessons in Borrisoleigh start?
At your home, your school or your work, whichever you choose when you book. Your instructor collects you there, and you are dropped back at the end of the hour at no extra cost.
Are gift vouchers available for a learner in Borrisoleigh?
Yes. You can buy 1, 3, 6 or 12 lessons, manual or automatic. The learner books the lessons when it suits them, and we agree their pick-up point in Borrisoleigh then.
Can someone else book lessons for me?
Yes. A parent, partner or friend can fill in the form or call 021 2355558 for you. The learner needs a learner permit first, and we agree the pick-up point in Borrisoleigh with whoever books.
