Leave with a unique training formula that allows you to continue to build your knowledge and skill around the driving test curriculum.
Package Two We apply for your driving test and confirmed the date before
you start training. The Road Safety Authority (RSA) normally gives 4 to 5
weeks notice of test date. You then decide how many days training you wish
to have before your test. RSA driving test waiting periods can be see on http://www.drivingtest.ie/frameset.html Your driving test will take place on
the last hour of the training time you requested. The same driving
instructor will be with you from the beginning of the course to completion

| Special Shared Courses For Beginners |
A Shared course for a beginner is a creative way to learn how to drive with the support of a friend. This allows for the opportunity to discuss the difficulties you are having with a friend and for both of you to bring these difficulties to the attention of the trainer. During this course one student observes from the rear seat while the other is driving under instruction. This familiarises the observer to what is coming next or gives the observer the opportunity to recap on what they have already learnt. A shared course gives each student 50% at the driving wheel and 50% as an observer. If none of the following courses suite you - email or ring us and we will design a course that fits your needs. The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) states, “those who pass their driving test have had, on average, about 45 hours of professional training combined with 22 hours of private practice. Learners who prepare this way, with a combination of plenty of professional training and plenty of practice, do better in the test” (DSA 2008). Our experience supports this view.
