What is The RSA Way?

The RSA Way is straightforward and easy to understand. We help our learners develop a resilient stoic attitude when facing the challenges of learning to drive. What do we mean by a resilient stoic attitude? Learning to drive with a resilient stoic attitude is like having a secret weapon - it's a combination of practical know-how and a can-do attitude that helps you navigate any challenge with confidence and control. The RSA Way's practical approach helps you to sharpen your driving skills and knowledge, undeterred by the fears, mistakes, and unpredictable road conditions one can face on test day. Through The RSA Way's mental training, we learn to tame stress and emotions, cultivate a positive mindset and zero in on what we can control. The RSA Way is the ultimate solution to conquer the obstacles of both learning to drive and passing the driving test. Mastering the art of driving is not just about the test, it's about equipping oneself with the tools to handle adversity in all aspects of life.

Practical Preparation

Designed to provide learners with the means to pass their driving test the first time around, the practical aspect of the RSA Way is a crucial component.

Simulating the actual test environment through a series of mock tests allows learners to not only familiarise themselves with test nerves but also develop strategies to manage them.

Through mock tests, instructors gain a deeper understanding of the areas where you may struggle on the actual test, allowing for more focused and effective coaching.

The practical aspect of The RSA Way package is based on a step-by-step approach to passing the driving test in Clifden, which simplifies the whole process and eliminates guesswork.

Your instructors have been working with you to help you identify and correct your mistakes, but it's important to remember that the driving test is a different experience altogether.

Remember, during the test, the examiner will not provide any additional guidance, leaving you alone to handle any unexpected situations that may occur for roughly 30 minutes.

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

The practical aspect of The RSA Way package is tailored to help you become a skilled and confident driver by providing you with hands-on experience in the test environment, as well as giving you insight into the tester's perspective and what they expect to see from you.

The practical aspect of The RSA Way is designed to help you pass the Clifden driving test with confidence and ease.

Mindset Preparation

The RSA Way mindset course complements and enriches the practical aspect of The RSA Way package, giving you the mindset, attitude and tools to pass the driving test and achieve your dreams.

Don't leave anything to chance, this comprehensive program covers both the technical and mental aspects of the driving test to give you the best chance of success.

By participating in the RSA Way mindset course, you can develop a resilient stoic attitude that will serve you well when driving.

The course focuses on building mental fortitude and emotional control, which are essential skills for dealing with the stress and uncertainty of the driving test and driving in general.

The approach includes a series of exercises and lessons that are designed to help learners to accept and deal with adversity, regulate their emotions, focus on what can be controlled, and develop inner strength and self-discipline.

The course also teaches learners how to gain a broader perspective and maintain equanimity in difficult situations, which can greatly improve their mental and emotional well-being.

But the benefits don't stop there. The resilient stoic attitude introduced by The RSA Way can be applied to many areas of your life and bring positive impact.

With the ability to accept and move forward, you can overcome obstacles and improve your overall well-being, whether in your professional or personal life.

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

Some of our driving instructors in Clifden 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
