Practical Preparation

The RSA Way's practical component aims to empower learners with the necessary tools to pass their driving test on their initial attempt.

By providing a simulated test environment through a series of mock tests, learners are given the chance to experience and learn how to navigate test-related nerves.

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 Thurles, which simplifies the whole process and eliminates guesswork.

While our instructors will normally engage with you on a normal lesson, working with you to highlight and fix mistakes a driving test is completely different.

Keep in mind that during the test, the examiner will only speak to give instructions, leaving you to navigate and handle any situations that may arise on your own for approximately 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.

Together, they provide you with a comprehensive program to ensure you feel prepared for both the technical and mental aspects of the driving test.

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 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.

The RSA Way not only teaches you how to pass the driving test but also equips you with a resilient stoic attitude that can be applied in different aspects of your life.

Whether it's dealing with a difficult work situation, a personal setback, or a relationship challenge, the ability to accept and move forward can greatly benefit our overall well-being.

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

Some of our driving instructors in Thurles 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.
