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

Getting butterflies in your stomach before your Kilkenny driving test is totally normal!

Those concerns grow if you don't feel fully prepared.

Feeling underprepared for the driving test can be overwhelming and hurt your performance.

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.

The standard procedure by most driving schools in to encourage regular practice, mastering the rules of the road, taking mock tests, memorising test routes and learning driving tester 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 Kilkenny driving test with a sense of confidence and control.

What is The RSA Way?

The RSA Way is simple. 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? A resilient stoic attitude is like a superpower for driving - it's a winning combo of skills and positivity that helps you tackle any road ahead with ease! The practical aspect of The RSA Way encourages the development of the necessary driving knowledge and skills in spite of the fear we face, the mistakes we make and the ever changing road conditions we find ourselves on during the Kilkenny driving test The mental aspect of The RSA Way coaches us to manage stress and emotions, maintain a positive outlook, and focus on what can be controlled. Empower yourself with The RSA Way, a comprehensive program that addresses the physical and mental challenges of becoming a qualified driver. It's not just about getting behind the wheel and passing the driving test, it's about developing a mindset that can be applied to overcome any obstacle in 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, which simplifies the whole process and eliminates guesswork.

The driving test can be quite different from your normal lessons in Kilkenny, 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.

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.

Failing to prepare for the driving test environment can lead to a nerve-wracking experience.

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 driving test with confidence and ease.

Mindset Preparation

The RSA Way mindset course has been designed to complement and enhance the practical aspect of The RSA Way package, which focuses solely on passing the driving test.

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.

The RSA Way mindset course is the key to unlocking the benefits of a resilient stoic attitude while 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.

To develop inner strength and self-discipline, the program includes a series of exercises and lessons that teach learners how 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.

The RSA Way offers you more than just a driving test preparation, it provides a mindset that can be applied in various areas of your life for a more positive outcome.

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 Kilkenny

Some of our driving instructors in Kilkenny 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
