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.
How many lessons will you need?
Four quick questions. An honest estimate, on real Tallaght prices, in about 30 seconds.
An estimate, not a quote. Everyone does the 12 mandatory EDT lessons; the practice hours on top depend on you.
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.
