Don't Panic. Our Shannon Driving Instructors Can Train You To Beat The Driving Test

It's only natural to have some jitters before the big driving test!

You'll always feel nervous if you don't feel ready.

That feeling of not being prepared leads to feelings of anxiety and stress, which can negatively impact performance during a driving test.

To combat the problem it is important to focus on thorough preparation, both in terms of driving skills and knowledge as well as mental preparation.

To ensure optimal test preparation, most driving schools advocate for consistent practice, mastering the rules of the road, participating in mock testing, committing test routes to memory and becoming familiar with the driving tester's procedures.

And all of this is essential of course. But we think it is equally important to develop a positive mindset, to focus on the present moment, and not get bogged down in negative thoughts or emotions.

By preparing thoroughly and utilising the right techniques, you can reduce the level of anxiety and nerves and approach the Shannon driving test with a sense of confidence and control.

How Do We Help You Pass The Driving Test in Shannon?

THE
RSA
WAY

Resilient
Stoic
Attitude

What is The RSA Way?

The RSA Way is straightforward and easy to understand. Growing a resilient stoic attitude in our learners to overcome the obstacles of learning to drive. What do we mean by a resilient stoic attitude? Think of a resilient stoic attitude as your personal driving coach - it's a powerful blend of technical skills and mental fortitude that helps you take on any challenge and come out on top! With the RSA Way's practical approach, you'll learn to navigate the roads with confidence, pushing through any fears, mistakes, and ever-changing road conditions you might face on your driving test. The RSA Way's mental approach equips us to conquer stress and emotions, keep a sunny disposition and focus on what is within our control. The RSA Way is a holistic approach that provides an answer to both the practical and mental challenges of learning to drive and passing the driving test. But it's about more than learning to drive and passing the driving test. These techniques are easily transferable to any adversity you might face in your day to day life.

Practical Preparation

The RSA Way's practical approach is geared towards equipping learners with the skills needed to ace their Shannon driving test on the first try.

The mock tests, designed to replicate the real test scenario, serve as a valuable opportunity for learners to confront and learn to cope with test-related anxiety.

The mock test is a powerful tool that helps Shannon instructors identify patterns in learners' mistakes, allowing them to provide you with targeted guidance and support.

By following a step-by-step approach, The RSA Way package simplifies the process of passing the driving test and eliminates the need for guesswork.

The driving test can be quite different from your normal lessons in Shannon, and while our instructors will do their best to help you during your lessons, it's important to keep in mind that the test environment is not like this.

It's important to note that during the driving test, the examiner will remain silent unless giving instructions, leaving you to independently handle any unexpected situations for approximately 30 minutes.

It's an unnerving environment if you are not prepared for it.

The practical aspect of The RSA Way package will help you to develop the abilities of an experienced driver by providing you with practical experience of the test environment, and helping you to understand how the tester will speak, think, and what precisely they want to see you demonstrate.

The practical aspect of The RSA Way focuses solely on passing the driving test.

Mindset Preparation

The RSA Way mindset course works in harmony with the practical aspect of The RSA Way package to help you to pass the driving test and become the best version of yourself.

By combining both the technical and mental aspects, this program offers a complete preparation for your driving test that can't be found anywhere else.

The RSA Way mindset course is designed to help learners develop a resilient stoic attitude when driving.

By honing in on mental fortitude and emotional control, the RSA Way mindset course equips learners with the skills necessary to handle the stress and unpredictability of the driving test and everyday driving.

The program is designed to help you to develop inner strength and self-discipline, by providing you with a series of exercises and lessons that teach you to accept and deal with adversity, regulate emotions, and focus on what can be controlled.

With the course, learners develop the capability to broaden their perspective and retain inner peace in difficult situations, resulting in a noticeable improvement in their mental and emotional well-being.

But it is more than that. Having a resilient stoic attitude which The RSA Way introduces you to can be applied in many different areas of life.

Having a resilient attitude and the ability to accept and move forward can help you navigate through any challenges and improve overall well-being.

THIS IS THE WAY!

I Only Need To Hire A Car For My Driving Test in Shannon

Some of our driving instructors in Shannon are happy to simply hire the car to you for the driving test without the need of taking a pretest lesson.
  • There are plenty of reasons why that might be needed. You've done your pretest preparation but you don't have a car to use for the test.
  • You planned on using your own car but one of the following issues has come up:
    • Road Tax out of date
    • Warning light on dashboard
    • Tyres too soft or worn
    • Insurance disc out of date
    • No NCT
    • Brake light not working
    • Indicators flashing white instead of yellow
    • Broken mirror

Opting to hire a car for the test ensures you get a fully insured and dual-controlled car with a guarantee to meet the standards of the examination. That means you arrive at the test knowing that you are at the very least are not going to fail because your vehicle is not up to scratch.
