Driving lessonsBeaumont
Three test centres are within ten minutes of Beaumont, and we collect you from school, college, work or home for every lesson. The drive back is included too.
What Beaumont learners get from us
If you are booking driving lessons in Beaumont for yourself, or for a teenager just finished school, here is what comes with every hour.
From the school gate
Your instructor can collect you from Saint Mary's Holy Faith, St David's CBS or home in Beaumont, and drop you back afterwards. It is built into the lesson price.
Former testers trained them
All our instructors are RSA-approved ADIs whose own training came from former driving testers. Cars have dual controls, which is reassuring for a parent handing over a first-time driver.
A calm car
We never shout. Lessons stay calm and steady, which suits nervous learners and anyone who has had a bad experience behind the wheel before.
Ready when you are ready
You will hear honestly whether you are ready to sit the test from Beaumont. If something is missing we name it, and if nothing is, we tell you to book rather than suggesting more lessons.
Gearbox and licence
Learn in a manual or an automatic in Beaumont. The manual pass lets you drive both types of car, but an automatic pass limits your licence to automatics under code 78.
An instructor who fits
We match each learner to an instructor, and a female instructor is available if you ask. Parents booking for a son or daughter can request this too.
Manual driving lessons Beaumont
Learning in a manual takes a little more work at the start, because clutch control and gear changes are both new. Your instructor builds them up one step at a time before lessons take in Collins Avenue and Coolock Lane, where moving off and changing gear on the move become routine. Later, you will drive the Malahide Road. A manual pass covers automatics as well, so nothing is ruled out. Manual lessons cost €53.27 each.
Book manual lessons ↗Automatic driving lessons Beaumont
An automatic leaves you just two pedals and no gearstick to think about. Automatic driving lessons in Beaumont run exactly like the manual ones, with the same pick-up, EDT and pretest. The difference shows on your licence: an automatic pass carries code 78 and does not cover manual cars. Each automatic lesson is €61.41, and the 12-lesson course is €659.24.

Beaumont driving lesson prices
Beaumont is on the same single price list as all our areas. No booking fee, no saved card details, and payment online or by phone.
EDT lessons in Beaumont
Every learner permit holder has to do EDT, 12 set lessons with an Approved Driving Instructor, before they can take the test. Your instructor signs the logbook after each one, so there is a clear record as you go. A reduced six-lesson version applies to holders of some foreign licences.
For a student in Beaumont, the school can be the pick-up point and home the drop-off, so nobody needs a lift from a parent to get to the car. The manual EDT course is €587.95, and the automatic is €659.24, both paid online or by phone.
What the EDT covers ↗Where to sit the test from Beaumont
Killester is the nearest centre to Beaumont, 3.7 km by road and about 7 minutes. Raheny is 4.8 km and Finglas 5.4 km, and both take about 10 minutes. Mulhuddart (Maple House) is 10.1 km, about 17 minutes, and is an option if it has an earlier date than the other three.
Since three centres are all within ten minutes, it makes sense to apply for whichever has the earliest date. Once you know where, book a pretest lesson there. You get an hour on that centre's roads, then the test in the car you practised in, for €183.63 manual or €193.81 automatic.
Driving the roads around Beaumont
First lessons begin from wherever you are collected in Beaumont. If home is not ideal, Beaumont Parish Pastoral Centre or the SuperValu on Oscar Traynor Road can work as a meeting point. Those early lessons focus on the basics, at whatever pace suits you. Nobody moves you on until you are ready.
As you progress, lessons take in Collins Avenue and Coolock Lane, and later the Malahide Road. If you get the train, Killester station is close enough to work as a pick-up point too. Each route is chosen to add one new thing at a time, so you are never thrown in at the deep end.
Whitehall is less than a kilometre away, and Santry a little further at 1.5 km. Both have pages on this site with their own details. Learners who split time between Beaumont and either area can be collected from college or work there and taken home afterwards, as long as you tell us when booking.

The EDT: a guide
The logbook is where your EDT progress lives. After each of the 12 lessons, your instructor signs it off and you can see what comes next. If a parent is paying, it is also an easy way to check what each lesson covered and how many are left before the pretest.
What we teach ↗ All lesson prices ↗A few good questions.
Can you collect my teenager from school in Beaumont?
Yes. Pick-up from school, college or work is part of the lesson price. Your instructor can meet them at St David's CBS, Saint Mary's Holy Faith or another school nearby, and drop them home after.
Which test centre should Beaumont learners pick?
Killester is closest, at 3.7 km and about 7 minutes. Raheny and Finglas are each around 10 minutes away. Pick whichever has the earliest date, then book a pretest lesson on its routes.
Is Killester station a pick-up point?
It can be. If you are coming by train, your instructor can meet you at Killester station and drop you home in Beaumont after the lesson, with no extra charge for the pick-up.
Do I need a driving school in Beaumont for EDT?
You need an Approved Driving Instructor for all 12 EDT lessons, and ours are all RSA approved. Book with our driving school and your lessons in Beaumont start from your door, with each one signed off in your logbook.
