Pavani Rynhart - I passed my test!
I had 2-3 lessons with before my test. He came highly recommended and they were right! He is very patient, observant and his vast experience previously as a tester was helpful. I have driven for many years but failed a test once before. He was able to prep me to be the right mental view of the whole driving test experience. It comes to show that being mentally prepared is just as important and not many instructors can help with that! Thanks ! Dr. Punitha Rynhart
Below is a little information on our approach.
Which group do you fall under? You have an certain test coming up or you want to begin preparing for one before you book. Or you are a complete beginner and want to start or finish off your Essential Driver Training.
What is the EDT?

An unfortunate reality! Ireland is on the list of countries with the worst road death stats in Europe. The Essential Driver Training Syllabus was introduced by the Road Safety Authority to aid overcome the matter.
The Essential Driver Training syllabus mandates that 12 structured driving lessons must be finished, rubber-stamped and submitted to the RSA website by an approved driving instructor.
This 12 lesson Essential Driver Training Program has been designed to ensure new drivers apply vital driving skills and grow a more comprehensive understanding of road safety.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT.
Getting ready for the Driving Test in Ballinahown

There is learning the essential driving skills and developing your understanding of road signs and road safety. Then you will need to reign over the conditions of the driving test and understand what to expect. The driving test is your opportunity to show that you are safe enough to drive unaccompanied. As with any exam you have ever had to sit, 80% of passing the driving test is done long before the day of the test with proper preparation.
If you have not conducted any training for your driving test then you're in the dark and finding yourself in the dark can lead to plenty of fear to rise up. They frequently get the best of even the most practiced driver. So it makes sense that we have to shine a light in the dark, take away the unknowns and the fear. And that is precisely what our pretest driving lessons will do.
Many driving instructors will keep providing you with driving lessons until they ‘think’ you are ready. They 'think' you are ready but they do not truly 'know'. This is down to a total lack of understanding on how the tester thinks and grades you during the driving test. This is not how we do things. Our team of instructors have been properly trained by ex-testers so they completely understand the driving tester and what they are looking for from you on test day.
After training with us you’ll understand completely the four stages of the test and understand exactly what the driving tester is searching for from you, how they will communicate with you on the day and why and when the driving tester will mark the sheet.

niamh lalor - I passed my test!
Passed first time! I just want to say a big thank you to my driving instructor and the RSA School of Motoring for helping me pass successfully on my first attempted... Was an amazing instructor who showed me how I should drive and spent a lot of time refining my techniques to the level required to pass. He also worked on making me a confident and calm driver which was a big advantage on the day of my test...I heard of the RSA School of Motoring through a work colleague who said they were extremely good and helped her pass successfully. I'm so glad she recommend them and I would definitely recommend them to anyone learning to drive. I can now say I feel confident enough to drive anywhere on my own :)
