I failed my driving test four times until I came here and got a few lessons. It seriously turned my driving around, and I passed the test this morning! Highly highly recommend.

Jamie O'Connell - I passed my test!
My driving instructor Colman was fantastic. He was friendly, very patient and gave great clear instruction. I felt well prepared when it came to the test (I passed two weeks back). I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is learning to drive. You won't find a better instructor!
Why choose RSA School of Motoring?

What is the 12 lesson Essential Driver Training?

You may not realise but in the past Ireland had one of the worst road accident records in Europe. The Road Safety Authority were required to make a change so they designed a brand new driver training syllabus that all new drivers have to complete. The Essential Driver Training or EDT.
This EDT necessitates that all students must finish a minimum of 12 hours of essential driver training by an RSA approved driving instructor.
In an effort to decrease crashes and fill the clear driving skills gap that many new motorists were missing, the 12 lesson syllabus was developed.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT.
BOOM... POP QUIZDo You Know The Answer?
What legal requirements must you have before going to drive a vehicle?
Valid licence, valid tax and insurance and a roadworthy vehicle.
The Test: Preparation is Vital

The test is your opportunity to demonstrate that you are safe enough to drive on your own. And naturally, as with any kind of test, if you understand the conditions and what to expect you can pass with ease.
If your test is booked there will be many doubts and concerns to cope with. Fear can distract even the most experienced of drivers. Our approach takes away all the unknowns and affiliated fear that comes with it.
It is standard procedure by many approved driving instructors to keep delivering driving lessons until they 'think' you are ready. They 'think' you could pass the test but they do not truly 'know'. This is down to a complete lack of understanding on how the tester perceives and grades you during the driving test. This is not how we do things. All our instructors have been coached by ex-testers so they fully understand the driving tester and what they are looking for from you on driving test day.
