I contacted RSA School of Motoring a week prior to my driving test and had 2 lessons and also a pre-test on the day of my driving test. The advice I was given and things I learned from RSA is fantastic, I was put right at ease and given great confidence for the test and needless to say I passed!!!! I would highly recommend RSA School of Motoring to anybody applying for their driving test.
Let us tell you more about our services
More than likely you fall into one of two types. You are either starting and need to complete your EDT driving lessons. Or you have completely finished your Essential Driver Training and have a driving test to get ready for.
What is Essential Driver Training?
EDT Driving Lessons Portarlington
An unfortunate reality! Ireland has one of the worst road death stats in Europe. The Essential Driver Training Syllabus was created by the Road Safety Authority to help fight the problem.
This EDT necessitates that all new drivers must complete a no less than 12 hours of essential driver training by an RSA approved driving instructor.
Learning to drive safely means knowing and applying particular driving techniques and these 12 EDT driving lessons have been designed to accomplish that.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT.

It is normal procedure by many driving instructors to keep supplying you with driving lessons until they 'think' you could pass the test. Often they will bring you to do the driving test not actually knowing if you will successfully pass or not. And they do this due to the fact they do not really understand the driving test, how you will be marked or what areas of your driving likely to lead a fail. The good news is this is not how we operate. 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 driving test day.
By the end you’ll appreciate fully the four stages of the test and understand exactly what the driving tester is looking for from you, how they will consult with you on test day and why and when the tester will mark the sheet.
