Driving lessonsCorduff
Mulhuddart test centre is 2.8 km from Corduff, about 5 minutes by road. Your pretest hour is spent on the routes around it, and you sit the test in that same car.
Why our driving school suits Corduff
Driving lessons in Corduff with us mean a pick-up at your door, a calm instructor and an honest view of your test readiness, with your test centre just down the road.
Door to door
We collect you from home in Corduff, from work, or from Hartstown Community School, and drop you back after. That is included in the price, so your paid hour is all driving time.
RSA-approved, tester-trained
Our instructors are Approved Driving Instructors with the RSA, and the people who trained them were once driving testers themselves. Your car has dual controls, so help is always within reach.
Nerves are welcome
Nobody in our cars raises their voice. If you are anxious, your Corduff lessons can begin at a slow pace, and Blanchardstown Road North can wait until you are ready for it.
The truth about your test
When we say you are ready for the test, we mean it. When you are not, you get a clear account of what is missing, not a pitch for more lessons.
Manual and automatic both
Choose either in Corduff. Manual is the wider licence, valid for both kinds of car. An automatic pass is recorded as code 78, which restricts you to automatic cars.
Ask for who you want
If you would feel more at ease with a female instructor, let us know. We arrange that on request and match you with someone whose way of teaching suits you.
Manual driving lessons Corduff
Manual lessons around Corduff cover the full set of car skills: clutch control, gear changes, hill starts and reversing. You start near home and, as your confidence builds, lessons take in Snugborough Road and River Road. Because Mulhuddart is so close, later manual lessons can include time near the test centre itself. Single manual lessons are €53.27, the 12-lesson manual EDT is €587.95, and a manual pass means you can drive any car, manual or automatic.
Book manual lessons ↗Automatic driving lessons Corduff
Automatic driving lessons in Corduff take the gear changes out of learning, which leaves more room in your head for signs, junctions and other road users. If gears are what is putting you off learning, an automatic is a sensible option. Just know that the licence you earn will be automatic-only, code 78. A single automatic lesson is €61.41, and automatic pretest with car hire is €193.81.

EDT lessons in Corduff

From Corduff, the EDT course costs €587.95 in a manual car and €659.24 in an automatic. You can be collected for each lesson from home or from somewhere handy like Mulhuddart Community Centre. If you hold certain foreign licences, ask us about the reduced six-lesson version before you start.
What the EDT covers ↗Test day from Corduff
Mulhuddart test centre is just 2.8 km by road from Corduff, about 5 minutes. Finglas is 10.3 km, about 13 minutes, and Tallaght 16.1 km, about 17 minutes. Killester is the furthest of the four at 19.6 km, roughly 22 minutes. Mulhuddart is the natural first pick, but a further centre may have an earlier date if you are in a hurry.
Book a pretest lesson before your test. You get one hour on the routes around the centre, then hire of the car for the test itself, so the car you are tested in is the one you have just been driving. A manual pretest is €183.63 and an automatic one is €193.81. From Corduff, getting to Mulhuddart for it takes minutes.
Corduff roads and pick-up spots
Lessons in Corduff start with the basics close to home, such as moving off, mirrors and steering. Once you are comfortable, lessons take in Blanchardstown Road North, and later River Road, as you work on junctions, lane changes and planning ahead. Each hour gives you time to repeat anything that did not click the first time round.
Your instructor can collect you from the SuperValu at Tyrrelstown Plaza or from Coolmine station if that is easier than home. A pick-up from work lets the lesson fit into your day without an extra trip. Whatever the spot, the drop-off afterwards is included, the same as the pick-up. Pick a different spot each week if you need to.
Mulhuddart, the area rather than the test centre, is about 1.4 km from Corduff in a straight line, and Blanchardstown about 1.5 km. Castleknock is a little further at about 3.0 km. If a friend or family member in one of those places wants lessons, they get the same prices and the same door-to-door service.

The EDT: a guide
Think of the logbook as your EDT checklist. Twelve lessons, twelve sign-offs, each one done in the car with your instructor. Once it is full and your instructor says you are at test standard, Mulhuddart is only about 5 minutes away for the real thing. Keep it safe between lessons, as it is your proof that EDT is done.
What we teach ↗ All lesson prices ↗A few good questions.

Yes. Automatic single lessons are €61.41, the automatic EDT course is €659.24, and pretest with car hire is €193.81. Your licence would carry code 78, meaning you could drive automatic cars only.

What if I am not ready for my test?
