Irish Residential Driving School Courses

Come and learn how to drive young and older novice welcome, remember there is no upper age barrier to learning to drive. Our residential courses come in three packages.

Package One concentrates on providing personalised intensive driver training without the option of sitting a driving test. This course is an ideal way to get started and gain confidence behind the wheel. The same driving instructor will be with you from the beginning of the course to the end of the course. 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 seen 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 of the driving test. A unique training formula allows you to build your knowledge and skill around the driving test curriculum increasing your chances of a first time pass.

Package Three 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.

All courses are adapted to accommodate different learning requirements and include a maximum of 5 hours tuition per day. Due to our location in rural Ireland, you will have easy access to golfing, fishing, boating and hill walking at the end of your days training. Our on door facilities will enhance your stay with us and can accommodate friends and family who wish to accompany you while you are training.

The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) states that “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. Customers are encouraged to take this information into account before applying for their driving test. It is also our experience that Extra Time is required for older beginners and those with special needs.  If none of the following courses suit you - email or ring us and we will design a course that fits your needs Completion of any course will entitle all customers to a discount on their own insurance policy.
