County Carlow has 20 towns and villages on our list and one driving test centre, in Carlow.
Mostly rural farmland along the Barrow valley, with the Blackstairs foothills rising to Mount Leinster in the south-east and flatter ground through the north of the county.
The Carlow test centre is in Graiguecullen on the western bank of the River Barrow, and pretest routes cross the narrow Graiguecullen Bridge into Carlow town centre.
Every lesson starts with a free pick-up from home, work or college, anywhere on the list below. Your instructor lives within driving distance of your area, so the hour goes on the roads you will drive after you pass. A few towns near the county line sit closer to Kilkenny in County Kilkenny and Gorey in County Wexford, so we list those centres too.
Every town on the list has its own page. Not on the list? We may still cover it, so tell us your area in the form.
EDT, pretest, manual and automatic lessons run in all 20 towns on our Carlow list, at the same prices as the rest of Leinster. Every lesson is with an Approved Driving Instructor in a dual-controlled car.

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.
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.
