Transition Year Driving Lessons - Every Tuesday and Thursday

TRANSITION YEAR DRIVING LESSONS

Now taking bookings for Tuesdays and Thursdays – 2022 / 2023

Our unique Transition Year driving course is specifically aimed at students that are under the qualifying age to hold a learners permit.
Here are the details of what our transition year driving course entails.
Our 4 hour training course consists of a welcome briefing on our course content, safety rules, course objectives and an introduction to the driving instructors. We then split the group into 2 groups.

(A) Group 1 will start in one of our training rooms where they will have

  • A safety briefing
  • A quiz of 40 questions based on The Rules of the Road and driving procedures. Gift vouchers for free driving lessons available should any team get 40/40!!
  • We’ll also cover an “Introduction to your car” video in preparation for your driving experience

(B) Group 2 will be further split into groups of 3, each group of 3 being assigned to a driving instructor. They will learn about

  • Vehicle Familiarisation
  • Car Controls
  • Safety Checks
  • Driver Responsibilities
  • Use of controls for moving away and stopping and further manoeuvres.
  • Each student will then be given the chance to put into practice what they have learnt and drive our dual controlled cars while being assessed by both the instructor and his/her two colleagues. This gives an insight into how a candidate may be marked on their driving test.

At Leinster Driving Campus we offer students a realistic driving experience on our own private road network featuring the more common traffic control features you’ll meet on the public roads.
A FREE driving lesson worth €55 will be given to one lucky student on the day plus the opportunity for others to win spot prizes.
Insurance cover has already been procured for the students with no liability to your school.

Shane Keogh, Transition Year student, Maynooth Post Primary

"This experience was a great "leveller"! ALL the students were interested and ALL of them could drive at the end of the day. They ALL came away with a sense of achievement and they were exhausted after having taken in so much! The leaders were wonderful, especially at making the students feel good about their progress. I would recommend it to any school."
