Driving lessons in Tallaght and Dublin 24
We teach driving lessons on the streets around Tallaght, not somewhere across the city. That means the Belgard Road junctions, the Old Bawn Road pinch points and the multi-lane roundabouts near the town centre you'll meet on the day.
Plenty of people freeze at lane choice and signalling on Belgard Road. We work those until they feel automatic. The Tallaght test centre is a few minutes from The Square, off Broomhill Road, so we cover the roads around it well before you sit it.
Lessons on the Tallaght test routes
Before the test we run a pretest hour on the kind of roads the Tallaght routes use, around Kilnamanagh, Tymon and Cookstown. The test centre is a few minutes from The Square, off Broomhill Road, so we cover the roads around it well before you sit it.

I was extremely nervous about driving, but Andy was amazing. He’s so calm and great craic, which made me feel at ease straight away. His explanations were clear and made everything click. Thanks to Andy, I passed my test first time at the Tallaght Test Centre. I’ve already recommended him to two friends who are taking lessons with him and think he’s brilliant. 11/10 would recommend Andy in Tallaght to anyone!
I completed my lessons with John Hagan and couldn’t recommend him more. He is a great teacher and helped me improve a lot throughout my driving journey. I just passed my test in Tallaght with only 1 fault thanks to him and his extremely thorough and in depth knowledge of the driving test and the best ways to pass. I would 100% recommend John as a driving instructor to anyone in search for one!
Did my lessons and passed my test in Tallaght with Derek Verso as my instructor. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer, more patient man than Derek. Always kept me at ease, and was always excellent at explaining where I went wrong and how I can improve my driving skills. An absolute gentleman and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone. Thank you Derek, I would have been hopeless without you!
I was able to pass my test in Tallaght on my first attempt thanks to Jonathan Martinez. All his explanations were very clear. He’s a very patient and reassuring instructor, I’d recommend him to anyone nervous about driving.

Questions, answered
How much do driving lessons in Tallaght cost? +
A single manual lesson is €53.27 and the 12 lesson manual EDT course is €587.95. Automatic costs a little more, and both rates are on the pricing page.
How many lessons do I need to pass the test in Tallaght? +
Every learner does the 12 mandatory EDT lessons, plus practice with a sponsor driver. Most people add a few pretest hours before the test. We would rather you needed fewer lessons, so every hour counts toward the test.
Do I have to live in Tallaght to sit my test there? +
No. You can book the Tallaght test centre on Broomhill Road from anywhere, and a lot of learners from across South West Dublin choose it. We teach you the kind of roads its routes use either way.
Do you teach automatic and manual? +
Both. If the clutch is the part holding you back, an automatic lets you put your attention on lane choice and the Belgard Road junctions instead. Automatic costs a little more than manual, and both rates are on the pricing page.
Where do you collect from for lessons? +
The Square Luas stop and the TU Dublin campus on Greenhills Road are easy meeting points, so a lesson fits around college or the school run. Tell us where you're based around Tallaght and we'll sort it.
