After a failed driving test, I reached out to the team for help breaking bad habits, reviewing my mistakes, and learning new techniques. Tomek was an absolute angel throughout our lessons—patient, encouraging, and most importantly, highly skilled. I truly can’t recommend them enough!

Both have been incredibly helpful, creating a positive and encouraging learning environment that made the experience much more enjoyable. They explain things clearly, provide constructive feedback, and help build confidence behind the wheel.
Thank you, Dominika and Tomeck, for your guidance, encouragement, and commitment. I truly appreciate all your help and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for supportive, professional, and knowledgeable driving instructors!

I honestly couldn't recommend Ronny enough! From the very beginning, he was incredibly patient, encouraging, and profesional. Ronny made me a much more confident driver with his endless support and is a big reason why I passed my test on my first try just today! Could not have asked for a better instructor.

I had a great experience with this driving school and passed my driving test at the Tallaght Test Centre. The lessons were well structured, the theory material was thorough, and I always felt well prepared.
A big thank you to Tomek for his guidance and to Rony for the mock test, which gave me a valuable second perspective before the exam.
I highly recommend this driving school to anyone looking for professional instructors and excellent preparation for their driving test.

I would really recommend Ronny to anyone willing to take driving lessons or mock tests. He's a great instructor and answered all the queries I had before the test. Had an amazing mock test session with him. He pointed exactly where I was making mistakes and also the aspects I was really good in. This not only helped me correct those mistakes, but also boosted my confidence before test which I eventually did pass. Absolutely recommend

Ronny has been exceptional in making me feel comfortable during driving and has been biggest positive so far in my driving journey.
I reached out to Ronny after after a failed test and some unresolved feedback from previous instructor. He has helped me prevent most of my failed first test grade 2s, and made me feel confident to the pass the second test.

I couldn’t recommend Tomek enough. From day one he was unbelievably friendly, patient and genuinely invested in helping me become a confident driver. He explained everything so clearly, never made me feel stressed, and always kept the lessons fun and relaxed.
Thanks to his teaching, I passed first time, he covered absolutely everything I needed to know and made sure I felt fully prepared. You can tell he really cares about his students and takes pride in what he does.
If you’re looking for an instructor who’s professional, supportive and just an all‑round sound person, Tomek is the one. I’m so grateful for all his help! 10/10 experience.

After some frustrating years of switching between 3 different driving instructors, finding Ronny at Art of Driving School was a complete game-changer, and I finally passed my driving test!
He explains things clearly and helped me fix all my driving issues. Beyond being a fantastic teacher, he is professional, patient, and always available when scheduling lessons! If you want an instructor who genuinely gets you results, Ronny is the one.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many driving lessons do I need to take
If you are a first-time learner, you must complete the Essential Driver Training (EDT) program, which consists of 12 one-hour lessons with an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI). While this is the mandatory minimum, most learners require additional lessons and practice in private to be ready for the test. The Road Safety Authority (RSA) recommends spreading out your EDT sessions and getting plenty of practice in between.
What is Essential Driver Training (EDT)?
The EDT is a mandatory training course for all first-time learner permit holders in Ireland. It is designed to teach you the fundamental skills and behaviors needed to become a safe driver. Your ADI will log each of your 12 lessons in your EDT logbook, which you will need to complete before you can book your driving test.
Can I get a provisional license in Ireland?
In Ireland, the equivalent of a provisional license is a learner permit. You can apply for your first learner permit after you have passed the Driver Theory Test and are at least 17 years old. You can apply for it online through the NDLS (National Driver Licence Service) website or in person at an NDLS centre.
How do I apply for the Driver Theory Test?
You can book your Driver Theory Test online. It assesses your knowledge of the Rules of the Road and traffic signs. This is the first step you must take before you can apply for your learner permit.
What should I bring to my first driving lesson?
You must bring your valid learner permit with you to every lesson. We also advise to wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes and your glasses or contact lenses if you need them. As your instructor, we will also need to see your EDT logbook.
What happens if I fail my driving test?
First of all, do not worry, it is a very common experience. Your examiner will give you a detailed report explaining where you lost marks. As your instructors, we will use that feedback to create a tailored lesson plan to focus on those areas. You can re-apply for your test after a waiting period, and we will ensure you are fully prepared for the next attempt.
How do I book a driving test?
You can book your practical driving test online through the RSA website. That can be done only after you have completed all 12 EDT lessons and have held your learner permit for at least six months. It is crucial to consult with your instructor before booking to ensure you are both available and that you are ready.
What maneuvers will I be asked to perform on my driving test?
On the day of your test, you may be asked to perform one of the following: a reverse around a corner, a hill start or a turnabout. The examiner will also test your knowledge of the car’s controls and might ask you a few questions from the Rules of the Road.
What is the legal requirement for practicing outside of lessons?
To practice driving in Ireland, a learner permit holder must be accompanied by a person who has held a full, valid driving license in the same category for at least two years. The accompanying driver must also display ‘L’ plates on the car. Such a practice is essential for building skills and confidence.
What happens on the day of the driving test?
Your instructor will typically meet you for a brief warm-up lesson before the test. You will then drive to the test center and meet the examiner. The test will include questions about the car and the Rules of the Road, a brief visual inspection of the car, followed by the practical driving test, which lasts approximately 30-40 minutes.
