WHY WE SAY WE ARE THE Preferred DRIVING SCHOOL IN Ballycotton
Everybody has bad habits and there is no such thing as a perfect driver. So you get the most out of each lesson we've trained all our instructors on how to quickly profile you so that you work on the areas of your driving that need the most work.
Retaining all the new information you're hit with when learning to drive is tough for any student. Wouldn't it be great if you had an instructor with you 24/7? Unfortunately that's not possible which is why we developed our own support and training material for you to study between your lessons, giving you more bang for your buck.
You will develop your understanding of driving up to 3 times faster with the aid of our home study material. You’ll find everything from tips to better handle your maneuvers to step by step material to support you through all of your EDT driving lessons.

Refreshingly Great Driving Lessons in Ballycotton
When we were in school we all had our favorite teachers, the ones that engaged us and made learning fun. And we can recall the bad teachers that had no business teaching anyone. Not all teachers are made equal and that is certainly no less true with approved driving instructors. It's not as straightforward as searching 'Driving Lessons Ballycotton' and picking the first driving school you see. Who can you believe in to give you that fun and engaging driving lesson experience?
Experience and professionalism is what you need from a driving school. A driving school that gets students past the test.
MEET ANDREA
Andrea passed her test with us after just a few pretest lessons. She was so nervous on the day that she even had a little cry but by the time her pretest was over she was well able for the test and she smashed it. Well done Andrea!
Andreas Review ★★★★★

"I recently passed my driving test. I did a pretest the morning of the test and RSA School of Motoring really helped me! Reminded me of key things to remember threw out the exam! I had had a rough morning with my car not turning on and the guys really settled my nerves and reminded me what I needed to do to pass! I would 100% recommended the guys to any of my friends who will take the driving test in the future to use RSA School of Motoring."

Essential Driver Training: The history?
EDT Driving Lessons Ballycotton
It is an unfortunate fact that Ireland is among the worst countries in Europe for road deaths and accidents. To help reduce these statistics the Road Safety Authority introduced a new and compulsory training initiative for first time drivers. The Essential Driver Training or EDT.
This EDT requires that all learners must complete a minimum of 12 hours of essential driver training by an RSA approved driving instructor.
These 12 lessons were created with the intention of filling in the vital driving skill gaps that young drivers had which were leading to the high level of road accidents occurring each year.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT. If you what to learn more about how the EDT works in Cork click here
Preparing for the Test in Ballycotton
Pretest Driving Lessons Ballycotton
First you must master the rules of the road, the road signs and skills involved to control a car safely. And then there is learning to pass the driving test. Being allowed to drive alone on Ballycotton roads is a freedom you will need to earn and the driving test is your opportunity to do it. And naturally, as with any test, if you understand the conditions and what to expect you can pass easily.
If your test is booked there is a lot of unknowns and fears to contend with. They so often get the best of even the most seasoned driver. So it makes perfect sense that we have to shine a light in the dark, eliminate the unknowns and the anxiety. Which is precisely what our pretest driving lessons will do.
It is standard practice by many driving instructors to keep giving you lessons until they 'think' you are ready. They 'think' you are ready but they do not really 'know'. That is because of a total lack of understanding on how the tester thinks and marks you during the test. This is not how we do things. All our instructors have been trained by ex-testers so they fully understand the driving tester and what they are looking for from you on test day.
By the end you’ll understand fully the four stages of the test and understand exactly what the driving tester is looking for from you, how they will speak to you on the day and why and when the tester will mark the sheet.
