Passed my driving test first time thanks to William! I had multiple learners permits and never had the confidence to book a test until getting lessons from William. He was always kind, gave positive feedback and was encouraging.

Because not all driving schools are made equal. RSA School of Motoring Leinster teaches manual and automatic in all twelve counties, with free pick-up and the full EDT from €49.00 a lesson.
Some of our recent reviews
Every school says they're the best. Here's what learners wrote on Google after the test, word for word. They're rated 4.7 out of 5 across 814 reviews, and they mention the instructor by name more often than the school.
Had a great experience here with my instructor Kieran, shared very helpful resources and great communication over the 12 lessons. Would recommend for anxious drivers.

Once we've matched you with an instructor, we set you up on our booking platform. Your lessons sit in one place, so you can see what's next and what's done.
Moving a lesson when work or college gets in the way is a few taps, not three phone calls.
All it takes to start is the short form at the top of this page.
- Your lessons and times in one place
- A reminder before each lesson
- Your EDT progress, lesson by lesson
How to get started
- Step 1. Get your learner permit. Pass the theory test at any NDLS centre, then apply for the permit. You need it before the first lesson.
- Step 2. Fill in the form or give us a call. Tell us your county, your town and manual or automatic. It takes about a minute.
- Step 3. We match you with an instructor near you. Someone who lives close by and knows the routes out of your nearest test centre. Then the twelve EDT lessons start.
- Step 4. Pretest, then the test. One hour on the routes your centre uses, then the same car on the day.

Essential Driver Training is the RSA's twelve-lesson programme for anyone on a learner permit. Each lesson is a set module with an Approved Driving Instructor, stamped in your logbook and logged as you go. Holders of some foreign licences qualify for a reduced six-lesson version.

Preparation for the driving test
Nerves before the test are normal. Most of them come from not knowing what the day looks like. Pretest lessons run on the routes your local centre uses, with a marked sheet at the end, so the only new thing on the day is the tester. You sit the test in the dual-controlled car you practised in.
Choose your county
Twelve counties, 543 towns and villages on our list. Pick yours, or call and we'll match you with an instructor who lives nearby.
Leinster lessons. A few good questions.
How much do driving lessons cost in Leinster?
Manual lessons start from €49.00 a lesson on the 12-lesson EDT package (€587.95 in total). A single manual lesson is €53.27. Automatic starts from €54.94 a lesson. Prices are the same in all twelve counties.
Which Leinster counties do you cover?
All twelve. Carlow, Dublin, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford, Louth, Meath, Offaly, Westmeath, Wexford and Wicklow. Every lesson includes free pick-up. Tell us your area and we'll match you with a local instructor.
What is the EDT and how many lessons do I need?
EDT is Essential Driver Training, twelve set lessons every learner permit holder completes before the driving test. Holders of some foreign licences qualify for a reduced six-lesson programme.
Do you offer automatic driving lessons?
Yes. Automatic lessons run at every package level across all twelve counties. If you sit the test in an automatic, your full licence carries a Code 78 restriction to automatic vehicles.
What does the pretest lesson include?
One hour on the routes used around your local test centre, plus car hire for the test itself. You sit the test in the same dual-controlled car you practised in. A manual pretest is €183.63 and an automatic pretest is €193.81.
Can my instructor pick me up from home?
Yes. Pick-up from home, work or college is included in every lesson at no extra cost. Your instructor lives within driving distance of your area.
Two short steps. Your details first, then the lessons you want. We'll come back to you with an instructor near you and the price for your package.
