Driving Lessons Ashford People Love
Our revolutionary approach to teaching young people to drive is unmatched. Good driving instruction is about passion, about listening to the student and pushing them to excel. Which is why we continually train and upskill our instructors to not only give you the best driving lesson experience there is to be had in Ashford but also to give you a calm relaxed environment to learn in. You will never see our instructors lose their cool.

Here is why students call us the top driving school in Ashford
Being a good driving instructor means listening to the needs of the pupil, asking the right questions and responding with the correct remedial action and advice to turn you into an excellent thoughtful driver. Something our instructors are true experts at.
Retaining all the new information you're hit with when learning to drive is tough for any student. Wouldn't it be great if you had an instructor with you 24/7? Unfortunately that's not possible which is why we developed our own support and training material for you to study between your lessons, giving you more bang for your buck.
You will develop your understanding of driving up to 3 times faster with the aid of our home study material. You’ll find everything from tips to better handle your maneuvers to step by step material to support you through all of your EDT driving lessons. This additional free training material is not offered by any other driving school in Ashford.

About Ashford
Ashford, historically known as Ballymacahara, is a village in County Wicklow, Ireland. It lies on the River Vartry and at the meeting of the R772, R763 and R764 regional roads. find out more about Ashford
Let us start there.
What exactly is Essential Driver Training?

As part of an initiative to improve the poor statistics of young drivers getting killed or injured on our roads the Road Safety Authority introduced the Essential Driver Training Syllabus.
The EDT consists of 12 compulsory lessons that must be delivered by a RSA approved driving instructor to all learner drivers.
These 12 lessons were created with the intention of filling in the vital driving skill gaps that young drivers had which were leading to the high level of road accidents occurring each year.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT.

What signs would you expect to see approaching a major road?
Warning sign; major road ahead; regulatory sign: yield or stop.
The Driving Test: Crucial preparation

There is learning the vital driving skills and developing your knowledge of road signs and road safety. And then there is learning to pass the driving test. Being allowed to drive alone on Ashford roads is a privilege you will need to earn and the driving test is your opportunity to do it. And naturally, as with any test, if you understand the conditions and what to expect you can pass easily.
If you have to prepare for the driving test then your head is probably a wash with different emotions. Fear of failing, fear of nerves getting the better of you or just fear of the unknown. The good news is you don't need to worry any more.
Most driving instructors will keep giving you lessons until they ‘think’ you are ready. They 'think' you are ready but they do not really 'know'. That is because of a total lack of understanding on how the tester thinks and marks you during the test. This is not how we do things. All our instructors have been trained by ex-testers so they fully understand the driving tester and what they are looking for from you on test day.
By the end you’ll understand fully the four stages of the test and understand exactly what the driving tester is looking for from you, how they will speak to you on the day and why and when the tester will mark the sheet.
