Manual driving lessons Shankill
Most Shankill learners start in a manual, and passing in one covers you for manual and automatic cars. The first lessons stay on quieter streets like Corbawn Lane. Once the clutch stops being the main event, we move out to Bray Road.

Automatic driving lessons Shankill
Automatic takes the clutch out of it, which helps on Bray Road at busy times. A test passed in an automatic gives a Code 78 licence, limited to automatic cars. Same instructor, same free pick-up in Shankill.

An RSA guide to the EDT
Before you sit the driving test you need all twelve EDT lessons, each one stamped in your logbook. Your Shankill instructor works through them in order, starting on Corbawn Lane and building up to Bray Road.
By the last few lessons you're driving the roads around the Deansgrange test centre, so the approach is familiar long before the day itself.
Get ready to pass your Shankill driving test
Once the EDT is done, it's on to test preparation. The nearest centre to Shankill is Dun Laoghaire / Deansgrange, 6.1 km and about 10 minutes by road. Pretest lessons run on the roads around it, and you sit the test in the car you practised in. If Churchtown has an earlier date, we cover those routes too.
