Driving lessons Nenagh
Learning to drive in Nenagh
Our driving lessons in Nenagh run in manual and automatic cars, from your first hour on a permit to the pretest. With the test centre in town, none of that preparation happens far from home.
Pick-up at no extra cost
Being collected adds nothing to the lesson price in Nenagh. Your instructor meets you at the point we agree, such as Nenagh College on Dromin Road, and brings you back after.
Signed off by an ADI
Only an Approved Driving Instructor can sign off your EDT logbook. That is who sits beside you on Kenyon Street, in a car with dual controls.
No rush, no raised voices
Having the test centre about 5 minutes away does not mean being rushed towards it. Nervous learners set the pace, in a car where nobody shouts.
You hear when you are ready
We tell you when you are ready for a test at Nenagh or Thurles and, if you are not, exactly what is missing. We would rather lose a booking than sell you hours you do not need.
Both gearboxes taught
Choose manual for a licence covering both kinds of car, or automatic for one marked code 78, valid for automatics only. The car you learn in is confirmed when you first get in touch.
Tell us who suits you
Asking for a female instructor is fine, and so is any other preference you mention when you enquire. The match is made with your answers in front of us.

Manual driving lessons Nenagh
In your opening lessons, the work is the car itself: moving off, stopping smoothly and changing gear without looking down. After that, you add junctions, roundabouts and reversing. Your instructor says when each stage is solid enough to move on. Later lessons take in Cloughjordan Road and Dromineer Road, and the focus moves to holding a steady speed and reading ahead. With the test centre 1.8 km away, your last lessons lose little time getting there. More of each hour goes on test standard.

Automatic driving lessons Nenagh
If the clutch is what puts you off, automatic driving lessons in Nenagh leave it out entirely. You still learn the same junctions, observation and judgement, and you still sit the same test at the Nenagh centre. The difference shows up afterwards, as code 78 on your licence, limiting you to automatic cars. No such limit comes with a manual pass. Ask about automatic times in Nenagh when you enquire, since they differ from town to town.

EDT lessons in Nenagh
12EDT lessons6Reduced EDT
Your learner permit comes with a condition: 12 lessons of Essential Driver Training with an Approved Driving Instructor before any test. You get a signature in your logbook after every one, so you always know how many are still to go.
EDT lessons are not a separate track from learning to drive. They are ordinary lessons, steadily building towards the Nenagh test. A licence from some other countries can cut the course to six lessons, so tell us if you hold one. The automatic course costs €659.24.

Getting ready for the test
Sitting the test in Nenagh
The test centre is in Nenagh itself, 1.8 km by road, about 5 minutes. That keeps the drive to your test short. No Nenagh date that suits? Thurles is 37.6 km and Woodview in Limerick 43 km by road, each about 40 minutes, and either may have an earlier date. Shannon, at about 50 minutes, is further again.
Our pretest gives you an hour in the area around the Nenagh centre, shortly before your test. The car comes with it, so you sit the test in the one you practised in. The automatic pretest is €193.81. Book it once your test date is confirmed, using the form on this page or 021 2355558.

Learning in Nenagh
Nenagh roads, one step at a time
Short loops close to your pick-up point come first, until moving off and stopping feel routine. From there, lessons take in Kenyon Street, then Cloughjordan Road and Dromineer Road as your speed and planning improve. Your instructor picks the next road from how the last lesson went.
Your house, your workplace, or Nenagh College on Dromin Road for students: pick-up can be at any of them, agreed in advance. Drop-off is at the same point unless you arrange another beforehand. Tell us the point on the form and your instructor confirms it before the first lesson.
We also teach in Cloughjordan and Borrisokane, which are 14.2 km and 15.9 km away in a straight line. Killaloe in County Clare is covered too. Learners from any of them can still pick the Nenagh centre for the test if it suits.

EDT and the test
The EDT: a guide
Every EDT lesson in Nenagh ends with a signature in your logbook, so the record builds as you go. The pages fill up one hour at a time. Once all 12 are signed and your instructor agrees you are ready, the next booking is the pretest. If you are not ready yet, you get the reason in plain words instead.

Nenagh questions
A few good questions
Is there a driving test centre in Nenagh?
Yes, 1.8 km by road from town, about 5 minutes. Thurles and Woodview in Limerick are the next nearest, both about 40 minutes, with Shannon at about 50. The choice is yours when you apply for the test.
Can you collect me from Nenagh College?
Yes. Students there can be collected on Dromin Road and dropped back after the lesson, as long as we agree the point when you book. If you have left school, home or work does just as well.
How much is a driving lesson in Nenagh?
One hour in a manual car costs €53.27, with collection and drop-off included. Automatic hours are priced a little higher, as the tickets show, and the full EDT course is listed there too. Paying online or by phone makes no difference to the price.
How do I book a driving instructor in Nenagh?
Once the theory test is passed and the NDLS has issued your learner permit, send the form or call 021 2355558. We then pair you with an Approved Driving Instructor and agree where you will be collected.
