Manual driving lessons Rathnew

Manual lessons help you build control of the car while keeping your attention outside it. Your instructor can work through starts, stops and gear changes at a pace that fits your experience. You then bring those skills together when approaching turns and junctions.

Automatic driving lessons Rathnew

Automatic tuition is available for new learners and people moving from manual lessons. Without clutch work, you can spend more attention on steering, observation and speed. Your instructor will still expect you to plan ahead and make safe decisions for yourself.

An RSA guide to the EDT

12EDT lessons6Reduced EDT

The standard EDT programme is twelve one-hour sessions with an approved instructor. We offer the full package and smaller blocks for learners continuing their training. Bring your logbook so completed sessions can be considered before choosing further hours.

Your instructor's feedback helps you decide what to practise between lessons. Tell them about the practice you can manage and anything you're unsure of. The course is a foundation for safe driving, not a promise that everyone needs the same total hours.

The EDT: a guide

You don't have to choose a large package before discussing your level. One hour can give the instructor a chance to see your driving and suggest what needs work. If you're already practising, bring a specific question from your last drive.
