Which path suits Beaumont learners?

Start EDTPretest ready
Raheny test routes include residential turns and roundabout approaches. We will drill those routes and tighten up your observation on Beaumont Road junctions.
Book Test PrepAutomatic preference
Automatic works well in Beaumont. The stop-start hospital traffic on Beaumont Road is less stressful without a clutch, so you can focus on reading the road.
Automatic LessonsBeaumont is where test prep starts
Beaumont Road carries heavy traffic all day thanks to the hospital. Ambulances, buses, and visitors create constant movement that learners need to handle from early on. Collins Avenue is wide and fast, with schools along it that bring sudden speed changes and pedestrian crossings. The junction at Beaumont Road and Collins Avenue is one of the busiest in Dublin 9. You need sharp observation and good timing to turn right there safely.

12 EDT lessons on Beaumont roads
12 structured lessons on Beaumont roads. Your instructor knows Beaumont Road and Collins Avenue inside out.
L1-2: Car Controls and Positioning
First lessons start on Ardlea Road and the residential streets around it. Parked cars on both sides mean you work on lateral positioning from the very beginning. Quiet enough to build confidence.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction Changes and Speed
Shantalla Road connects Beaumont to Artane with tight junctions and poor sightlines. Changing direction here at crossroads with limited visibility makes for real observation practice.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Collins Avenue introduces school zones, bus stops, and pedestrian crossings in quick succession. Speed limit changes and children near kerbs are the hazards your instructor focuses on here.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Beaumont Road brings hospital traffic into the picture. Ambulances, double-parked visitor cars, and a constant stream of buses and taxis require you to read the road well ahead and react calmly.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed Management
Grace Park Road runs south towards Drumcondra. The junction where it meets Griffith Avenue is wide and busy. Lane discipline on approach and timing the right turn without blocking oncoming traffic take practice.
View optionsL11-12: Calm Driving and Route Consolidation
Final lessons run the full Raheny test centre route. Ardlea Road and the residential turns around it appear on the test. Reverse around a corner and turnabout manoeuvres get a final polish.
Book nowDriving lessons in Beaumont, near the hospital and Collins Avenue
Beaumont Road runs past the hospital entrance and carries ambulances, staff cars, and visitor traffic at all hours. Your instructor introduces this road early because reacting to an ambulance siren without panicking is a real test skill, and you will face it here repeatedly.
Collins Avenue is wide and has speed zones shifting around school hours. Multiple schools along the road mean drop-off chaos between 08:00 and 09:00. Reading the road ahead, reacting to children stepping out, and managing stop-start queues are all part of early lessons here.
Shantalla Road and Ardlea Road are quieter residential streets used for first lessons and manoeuvre practice. Ardlea Road in particular appears on Raheny test routes, so time here is never wasted.
Pickup points include Beaumont Hospital main entrance, the Collins Avenue bus stop near Ardlea Road junction for routes 14, 27, and 27A, Holy Child Primary School on Ardlea Road after 09:15, and Beaumont Woods entrance off Shantalla Road. Female instructors are available on request.
Manual lessons: €53.27 single, €49 per lesson on the 12-pack, €52.50 on the 6-pack. Full EDT: €587.95 manual, €659.24 automatic. Pretest: €183.63 manual, €193.81 automatic, car hire included. Automatic single: €61.41, or €54.94 per lesson on the 12-pack.

Passed at Raheny. Here is what they said.
I've passed my driving test today in Finglas Jamestown centre. All thanks to Richard. I failed my test 5 times until two weeks ago I changed the driving school and did THREE hours including pretest with Richard. He is irreplaceable, strict but encouraging. It's easy to understand him and learn every facet of the exam. We covered all Finglas routes with Richard, because he is well planned ahead and exactly knows what has to be done within the time limit.
Rosa took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. Had Shane for lessons in Finglas and cant recommend enough ! Extremely good instructor and definitely wouldn't have passed my test without him. Great asset to RSA School of Motoring.
Dónal took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. I did my lessons and pre-test in Finglas with Richie, whom I would happily recommend. He's patient, knowledgeable, thorough - and encouraging! Important traits that make for an excellent instructor, and one who helped me pass my test there. Thanks Richie!
Ben took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. I did my 12 lessons with Richie and overall had a brilliant experience. My lessons took place around the Mulhuddart and Finglas areas to make sure I was comfortable with those test routes. I would highly recommend Richie as a driving instructor as throughout the 12 lessons he was always really relaxed which helped me to stay calm when I just started learning in particular.
