Manual driving lessons Athy
Our manual lessons build clutch control, gear choice and observation together. They suit learners who want to drive a manual car, including those starting from scratch. Your instructor can break a task into smaller steps, then help you put them together in traffic.
Book manual lessons ↗Automatic driving lessons Athy
Automatic tuition gives you the same focus on safe driving without operating a manual clutch. You can book a single lesson or discuss an EDT package. When choosing, consider the car you'll use after passing: an automatic test leads to an automatic-only licence.

An RSA guide to the EDT
We offer the standard twelve-session EDT course in manual and automatic cars. Each session lasts one hour. Bring your learner permit and any existing logbook so the instructor can plan from the right point.
Your logbook also helps you decide what to practise between lessons. Ask which skill needs attention next and discuss it with your accompanying driver. The completed sessions and the practice between them serve different purposes.
Book your EDT lessons ↗Get ready to pass your Athy driving test
A pre-test lesson gives you marked feedback on your driving before the real appointment. If you're sitting the test in Carlow, send us the centre and date. We can discuss preparation and test-car hire, with the car and instructor checked before booking.

Choose RSA School of Motoring for your driving lessons in Athy
Because not all Athy driving schools are made equal. Emily Square and Barrow Quay place you close to Athy's riverfront; Convent Lane is the library's address. Use the actual street or Eircode when arranging your starting point. Around the square, read the signs and watch for people crossing rather than relying on a remembered layout.

What should I bring if I've already started EDT?
Bring your learner permit and existing EDT logbook. Keep the same logbook when changing instructors so completed sessions and feedback are available when planning what comes next.
Can you help me prepare for a test in Carlow?
Ask for a pre-test lesson and give us the exact test centre, date and transmission. If you also need a car for the test, mention that when enquiring so both arrangements can be checked.
