Automatic Driving Lessons Dublin

We have successfully been training pupils in our Automatic vehicles for many years now. It has always been our school policy to provide the highest standards of informative driving instructions to our students.

Automatic driving lessons are a little different; however, we take you through the EDT programme and Pretest packages with ease.

There is no doubt that we are rewarded as the leading training centre with the obvious choice when it comes to automatic driving lessons in Dublin.

Teaching Safer and Better Learners

Here at National Driving School we are committed to producing better, safer and law-abiding drivers. We emphasise the importance of driving and road safety to make our roads safer for everyone.

Automatic Gears Vs Manual Gears

There can be several reasons to shift from a manual car to the automatic one. But we want to clear the aspects and differences that you will observe in both the types to choose when to shift to the automated cars after comparing both.

  • Starting a car, steering it on turns and stopping it is very easy, making it comfortable for everyone to drive. Along with this, the break has to be applied every time you want to slow down and stop the car as there is no clutch. It only has two paddles, one for the accelerator and another to apply the brake. So, you can drive on one foot only. In manual cars, a clutch is necessary to operate the vehicle and to control its speed.
  • We offer the best 12 EDT training lessons and instructions in the most effective way.
  • If you want to keep your hands on the steering wheel only all the time, then automatic cars are the obvious choice because it is not possible in manual cars due to the frequent use of clutches.
  • If you don’t have much experience on trips like in hilly areas or the bumpy ones, then automatic cars will help you navigate the site.
  • In the traffic areas, starting the car, continuously accelerating and decelerating and stopping is a hectic process in manual cars, but automatic cars make it smooth.
  • Also, it is convenient for old and disabled people to drive independently and without any sponsor all the time.

Feeling nervous and want to switch to automatic cars?

If you think you want to get those benefits mentioned above, we have the best instructors for the learners. You can enrol for the driving lessons for automatic driving and get the 12 EDT automatic driving lessons after getting the learning permit.

Point to note here that the driving license for the automatic car drivers comes with some restrictions as the driving license and test for the manual and automatic drivers are different. If you want to drive manual cars, you need to give a separate trial.

EDT Automatic driving lessons Dublin

We deliver the complete EDT Programmes 1-12 in our Automatic driving lessons. We can act as your sponsor if you didn’t have one, so there is no need to worry about that.

After completing 12 Lessons, we will assist you in progressing forward to apply for your full driving test after going through the pretest, which will prepare you thoroughly and polish your skills.

Was lucky to get a chance to drive with Barney, also rented his car and passed my test!He is patient, polite, friendly and makes you feel at ease. I went from being a very anxious driver to being confident.Took me only 2 days practicing with Barney, prior the driving test I was learning everything nearly from the scratch as I wasn’t driving/practicing for about half a year.He explains everything in small details that there’s no a chance to fail if you listen carefully.Thank you again 🙂

Passed my test on the first try thanks to Clodagh. She gave detailed instructions and explanations at every turn during every lesson so much so that I could still hear her instructing me during the actual test. If you're an inexperienced and/or nervous driver then this is the school and the instructor for you, cannot recommend enough!

I did my pretest with Clodagh a week before my test and she was excellent. She really helped me brush up on a few weak points and gave me really good constructive feedback that I was able to fix before my test. I passed today because of it. If you're thinking of doing a pretest before your upcoming test there’s nowhere I can recommend more!

Passed my test on the first attempt today in Tallaght. Damien from National Driving School was my instructor, and I couldn’t rate him higher. Felt comfortable and safe from the very first lesson.

I booked 2 lessons and a pre test with Clodagh before attempting a test and she got rid of all my bad habits, took me to more tricky routes. I was so so confused for round about, she showed me where I was doing wrong, shared some professional tips and she thought me so well and she is the only reason that I passed my test today in first attempt. She is very nice, bit strict too as well but she made my day and she is highly recommended

Fantastic driving school. Had Seweryn as my instructor and he really helped build up my confidence and skill. Without him, I definitely wouldn’t have passed first time. Was unprepared for my test less than a month out and after a few lessons I was golden. I was provided every resource needed to help achieve a pass and truly would recommend 100%

I took a few manual lessons and a pretest with Paul for my driving test in Navan. I wasn’t familiar with Navan at all and had failed my driving test twice in Dundalk. Paul was very patient with me, kind and was able to help me improve my driving skills and build up my confidence overall. With his encouragement, videos and notes from National Driving Licence School, I’m delighted to have passed in Navan. I’d highly recommend this driving school for anyone doing a test in Navan, Paul is brilliant and I really enjoyed driving with him.

Dave was the best and calmest driving instructor I ever had and I tried 4 or 5 before. Keeps everything super simple. Nothing overcomplicated. Personable and gives you confidence. I always felt nervous when I sat the test before. This time I was cool, calm and collected and flew through with only 2 Grades 2s. The car Dave rents out for the test is in mint condition and a dream to drive. I highly recommend Dave.

"Thank you so much to Chris from NDLS for the exceptional driving instructor training.His patience, clear instructions, and supportive demeanor made every session enjoyable and effective. With his guidance, I gained confidence and the knowledge to proceed with my 3 stages. He was always available for any questions I had while studying for stage 1 and with his fantastic support and encouragement I passed my Stage 2 with a result of 100%. He was unbelievably flexible with all my training appointments. When it came to my final exam stage 3 the support and encouragement was overwhelming and I passed with a 94% result which I would never have received without his help. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to learn how to become a professional Driving Instructor. I owe my future life and New Career to him. Chris I cannot thank you enough but I will Thank you again for everything!"

Clodagh, my driving instructor, played a huge role in helping me pass my driving test. Her teaching style was patient and easy to understand, which made learning to drive less stressful for me. She knew exactly how to explain things so that I could grasp them easily. Clodagh's encouragement and support boosted my confidence behind the wheel, especially during challenging maneuvers. I'm grateful for her expertise and guidance throughout the learning process. If you're looking for a driving instructor who's patient, knowledgeable, and supportive, I highly recommend Clodagh.

Very happy to say I passed my driving test today after doing lessons with Chris Kennedy! I’ve done lessons with two other instructors before I met Chris and wasn’t able to pass the test before.Chris is by far the best instructor/teacher I’ve worked with. I honestly can’t recommend him enough. From our first lesson until the very last pre-test before my test, he has always put me at ease behind the wheels. His eye for detail is unmatched, he was able to notice every single mistake I made during our lessons and we’d run through them even a 100 times until I got it right. He knows the test routes extremely well and he was able to correct a lot of my bad driving habits, some of them which I never even knew I had before. His knowledge about the test, cars and the way the testers think is incredible. All his tips and guidance was key to passing my test today. He always gives constructive feedback and was my biggest motivator. So huge thanks to Chris, definitely don’t think I would have passed the test without him!Also just want to thank Jackie from NDS as well for organizing all my lessons, even taking into account my hectic work schedule sometimes.

In a last-minute scramble, I turned to National Driving School for a car hire and they managed to get me in for two hours of pretest preparation for me. The insights and tips provided by their experienced instructors proved to be instrumental in boosting my confidence. Having faced the disappointment of failing the driving test three times previously, I was pleasantly surprised by the personalized attention and support I received from them. The team's support and encouragement helped me overcome my previous setbacks. The two hours of pretest preparation were a key factor in my success on the driving test. I genuinely believe that investing in lessons with NDS is a wise decision that can make a big difference. The positive impact of their last-minute assistance and the confidence boost I experienced are a testament to their expertise and commitment to their students' success. A heartfelt thank you to the National Driving School, specifically Kevin and Lukas for their unwavering support!

I passed my driving test yesterday at the first attempt all thanks to the guidance and support of Julia and Chris (Krzys) from National Driving School. I did my 12 EDT lessons with Julia in October, who made the lessons a lot of fun and had so much patience with me. Julia really knew when to push me and had me looking forward to each lesson. Chris (Krzys) then helped me with some pretest lessons and a mock test, and really gave me all the confidence to know I was ready to pass the test before it began. He was there to settle any nerves before the test and was there to celebrate my passing after the test as well. Chris (Krzys) really went above and beyond to help me pass! I couldn’t recommend Julia and Chris (Krzys) enough if you want to learn how to drive!

Kamil was very calm and showed me where I was going wrong and helped me improve my driving so I passed today first time, I would highly recommend Kamil and the National Driving School fordriving lessions or pretest lessions.I could not have made this achievement without Kamil's help and valueable guidance, thank you so much for the professional help.

Great 12 driving lessons and pre-test classes. I got a lot of advice about driving a manual car. Finally, I passed the test on the first attempt itself. Once again Thank you Jay.KC

I just want to thank Chris from the National Driving School as I passed my driving test today! I had done my EDT lessons pre-covid and had got stuck in the long waiting list for Dun Laoghaire. I applied for a cancellation test and Jackie in the National Driving School rearranged some lessons so they could squeeze me in for a refresher lesson. Chris was so helpful and encouraging and I do not think I would have passed the test without this lesson. He was very engaged and sent me links to videos to watch and had a genuine interest in me passing. I am extremely happy and grateful that I have passed. Thank you again.

Steve is the best .I have tried many instructors during my course to full licence but none of them was on level of Steve.He is efficient ,patient and true to his profession. On top of everything at the day of test my car broke down but last minute he arranged me the car 🚗 and I was able to do the test and pass it .Can't recommend him enough.Thanks Steve 😊

Well my story is a little different, I have held a provisional licence way too long without ever sitting a test, Gary was excellent only short of doing the test for me there was nothing more he could have done, I passed the test today confidently & comfortably am so glad I made the random selection at the time to contact this driving school, additionally I feel if he had been my instructor when I started driving in the first place I would never of had a fear of the test!Thanks Gary

Hi , I could not recommend Clodagh Branagan from National Driving School any higher that is possible , Clodagh went above and beyond for our son Calum who went on and passed his driving test first time with the guidance from Clodagh. Calum felt so comfortable with Clodagh which makes all the difference when you’re nervous. Thanks Clodagh and National Driving School for all you have done for Calum 😊

Today I passed the driving test!!! My practice paid off! Almost couldn’t believe it! After failed three times, I finally found Mr Yang from National driving school. I can drive in other countries but can’t pass the driving test in Ireland cause I didn’t know what to prepare and practice. He knows what exactly the testers are looking for and corrected many of my bad habits ( which the previous instructor should have corrected me). Thank you so much Mr Yang and Good luck to you guys!

Have already and will continue to recommend NDS to all my mates and family members learning to drive x

I am very delighted to have passed my driving test on my first attempt at Mulhuddart (Maple House), all thanks to my amazing instructor Kevin. I was lucky enough to receive lessons from him, he was always calm, friendly, and available whenever I had doubts. He was the one who asked me to reschedule and select a better time and then made a plan to get this through, he was there on the test day as well and that helped a lot. I would highly recommend Kevin if you are looking for a good instructor and want to pass on your very first attempt.Thanks once again Kevin for all your support and helping me in getting this sooner!

Thanks to the amazing Clodagh at the National Driving School, I passed the test in Tallaght - something which I didn’t think was possible only a few months ago. Clodagh is a professional; her teaching style is consistent, up-to-date, patient, and encouraging. She is very knowledgeable and flexible in adapting lessons to focus on areas that needed improvement, and her clear explanations and constructive feedback have been invaluable in helping me improve my techniques and overcome my anxiety. Her commitment to safety and emphasis on responsible driving is second to none, and she is very friendly and approachable. I highly recommend Clodagh as a driving instructor and I’m very grateful for the positive learning experience.

I recently passed my driving test on first attempt with proper guidance and training of Mick. He is professional, very patient and helped me improve areas of weakness in driving. I worked on a shifting schedule but he always finds time to meet me on my free days. He also has a good sense of humour to calm my nerves during the practice. His constant reminder during our practice ( I can still hear his voice in my head to look at the mirrors lol ) paved the way to pass with flying colors. I highly recommend him as an instructor. Thank you for everything Mick.

Passed today from Tallaght Test Centre. Peter was my instructor. He is an awesome driving instructor! I breezed through all 12 EDT lessons and pre-test sessions with him. He's not just friendly and pleasant, but he shared some super handy tips that totally saved me on test day – passed on the first try, thanks to him! He didn't just tell me what I was doing wrong, he actually showed me with documents, photos, and videos. It made fixing mistakes very easy. Peter took me through all the routes so I would be familiar with them for test day. If you're looking for a friendly, calm and effective instructor, Peter's your guy. Highly recommend!Thanks again Peter and National Driving School for assigning him to me. Good luck!! ☺️

I passed first time this morning (9:15am) in Tallaght (Automatic), with all thanks to my amazing instructors one being the amazing Clodagh. I couldn’t recommend Clodagh enough ! She made me super comfortable and a confident driver. She answered all my questions big and small ensuring me there was no silly questions. I did my full 12 EDT lessons (Manual) with another instructor which I also loved but I ended up switching to automatic as that was the only car available for me to practice in. I ended up doing two lessons with Clodagh (Automatic) once in her car and then in mine and she had me up to speed. I passed my theory side of things with flying colours and just a few marks in my moving off (look behind the shoulder).I would 100% recommend Clodagh to my friends and any learner that would feel a bit nervous cause once you’re in the car with her you’re nerves will disappear. Thank you again Clodagh you’re a star 🌟

She explained everything in details, helped me to correct the bad habbits, and showed me all the test routes at Tallaght. I was very comfortable and confident during the test, as i had practiced to drive on all those roads.The NDS videos were also very helpful.Thank you so much Clodagh and NDS.Keep up the great work.

Overall my experience with NDS has been positive, I needed lessons for reduced EDT and the instructor Damien was able to bring me in the Dunlaoighre routes .. Lovely guy and friendly
My husband and I just finished our EDT lessons (on the waiting list for the practical test) with National Driving School and our driving instructor is Mr.Aureliusz. He is very patient, calm and brilliant. He explained things in the simplest and coherent way to make sure that you will be a confident and safe driver in the future. We'll definitely recommend him to our friends. Kudos to your team.

The NDS is of valuable resource for anyone whos looking to drive. Clodagh was my instructor, I had struggled for months with pre tests and lessons and in 3 sessions I was able to accomplish more then thought possible. The patience, understanding and knowledge of information held by these instructors is next to none of their professionalism and ensuring you go into the test with confidence and understanding of what to expect. The instruction was greatly appreciated and I would recommend them to anyone.

I got a very last-minute cancellation driving test, and desperately needed a pre-test lesson beforehand to clear up a few things. I reached out and Jay Hickey from the national driving school was able to meet me on the morning of my test, corrected any mistakes I was making and helped with all my questions and concerns. I ended up passing the test first time, and couldn’t have done it without his help! Thank you Jay and National driving school!

Recently passed my driving test after I did my driving lessons with Chris Kennedy. I had procured my driving theory test and completed EDT with another instructor few years ago, however was very nervous to take the road test.I had got Chris as my instructor last August and I would highly recommend him and he is the best teacher I've ever worked with. He is very professional, very detail oriented and put me at ease from the very first moment behind the wheels. This had boosted my confidence and courage to take the dreaded test! He has excellent knowledge about cars, gives clear & constructive feedback and knows the test routes very well.I had practiced with dedication last 3 months the tips and tricks that he gave me and could clear the test with ease yesterday. I would definitely recommend Chris to my family and friends!Special thanks to Jackie to accommodate all my schedule request from NDS school and to provide with Chris as my instructor!
I was able to pass on my driving test because of the lessons and the pre test I did with Chris, very happy with all the instructions and tips that helped me a lot. I strong recomend this school, very reliable.

I Highly recommend Chris, NDS for the practice lessons and pretests. I did my EDT lessons with Chris and waiting for almost a year to get my test appointment and I’m lucky enough to pass the first time with very few faults. Chris was very familiar with the test routes and he made through all the routes to get me familiar with. His instructions were simple and clear always and very patient enough with me.Again thanks a lot NDS Team
Kudos to my wonderful instructor Kamila who helped me to pass my driving test the very first time in Tallaght. Earlier I finished my EDT with different instructor. But had few pre driving lessons with Kamila, I should say she is extremely knowledgeable, calm, patient and provided me with lot of suggestions that helped me to be a better driver. Her classes were spot on in correcting my mistakes through which I learned a lot and gained more confidence to appear for the test.Also I took one class with Kevin right before the test and his way of teaching and tips helped me a lot. I just used all their inputs which helped me to clear the test the very first time.Thanks Kamila and Kevin, you guys are just awesome!! Highly recommend!!

I previously completed my 12 lessons with a different instructor. When I finally got the date for my test I decided to contact Alan in order to prepare for my test and brush up on my driving in order to make sure I'm 100% ready to sit the test. Alan was brilliant when answering any of my questions and was very patient with me when correcting bad habits. He made me feel very confident and talked me through every segment of the test as well as took me to the actual test centre beforehand to explain how it's gonna go down. I cannot recommend him enough!!

I had the pleasure of having Seweryn as my instructor at the Tallaght Driving Center, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Seweryn went above and beyond to ensure that I not only gained the necessary knowledge but also built the confidence needed to pass my driving exam on the first attempt.Seweryn's teaching style is exceptional. He patiently guided me through every aspect of driving, from the basics to the more complex maneuvers, always taking the time to address any questions or concerns I had. His extensive knowledge of driving rules and regulations was evident, and he made the learning process both enjoyable and educational.What sets Seweryn apart is his dedication to his students. He tailored the lessons to my individual needs, providing constructive feedback and encouragement at every step. His positive and calm demeanor created a comfortable learning environment, making me feel at ease behind the wheel.Thanks to Seweryn's expert guidance, I not only passed my driving exam on the first try but also developed a strong foundation for safe and confident driving. I highly recommend Seweryn to anyone seeking a skilled and supportive driving instructor. Keep up the fantastic work, and thanks again for helping me achieve this milestone!

I reached out to NDS and was lucky enough to get Joseph as my instructor, he is so calm, informative and reassuring which made a huge difference as I am quite an anxious driver! He made sure I understood everything - because of him I passed my test first time which I never thought would happen! Thank you Joseph 😇

Two days ago I passed a driving test in Tallaght at first attempt. I had 3 pre-tests and a mock test with Elaine who is a star. She spots your every move without making a big deal out of it so you won't be intimidated while having lessons. She isn't my original instructor, but I'm glad I had to have pre-tests with her. Elaine is highly professional and will make sure you get ready of almost all your bad habits after the first hour. She will both get along with you and keep it professional so you won't forget that you're in the process of learning without making you nervous. She'll make sure to correct as much bad behavior as possible so when you are doing your practical test, even if you're nervous, you'll get as few marks as you could.

I Passed my driving test today on my first attempt, all credit goes to my instructor Seweryn From National Driving School. He helped throughout this process, he helped me with my theory test, how to apply my Reduced EDT (as i have my international license with me), My pretest lessons, Even Seweryn choses two routes today for my pre test session and told me one of this route will be selected as your final driving test and guess what? the first one was my driving test route. for all the Irish and non Irish residents(mainly) I would recommend him as we can clearly understand the basic rules and he will force you to repeatedly do the maneuver's to make you perfect for the final test.

I recommend taking lessons from Chris , he gives clear instructions on what to follow and what not to do while driving/during the test. He has taken me through all the test routes and helped me understand the tricky points that go unnoticed generally while taking turns or round abouts. His constructive feedback helped to correct the mistake and pass the test.Thanks,Deepthy

Was really apprehensive about my upcoming test, so booked in for two pre-tests with Chris Kennedy! He was an unbelievable help with my driving and confidence also 👍💪 I thankfully managed to pass and couldn’t be happier with the service I got from National Driving School. Have already recommended it to one of my friends who has an upcoming test!!

Today I've had my driving test and passed first time. My instructor was Peter and I have to say, I am not sure if things would go my way without him. He always goes over everything very clearly and makes sure that you understand everything, it's never a boring lesson with him. Always on time, and never had cancelled a lesson last minute. I would definitely recommend and just wanted to say thank you one more time!

I did my EDT lessons with Chris Kennedy and passed the first time with very few marks. I was a very nervous driver at the beginning but Chris's positive approach really helped me stay calm, focused and boosted my confidence with every lesson. His instructions were simple and clear which made a very pleasant learning experience. Chris knows all the test routes and ensured I was familiar with the routes too. I did a pretest on the test routes and he highlighted everything I needed to work on before the test. He is the BEST instructor, and if not for him I wouldn't have had the confidence and courage to take the driving test. I highly recommend Chris.

I just passed my test first time because of Chris. He's the best teacher I've ever had for anything.Very friendly, puts you at ease from the first moment. Incredibly knowledgeable about the routes, cars, the process and what the testers are looking for. He's very encouraging and clear in explaining where you could improve.I would 100% recommend Chris and already have plenty of times to family and friends.Thanks again for making the lessons a pleasure!

I passed my driving test this morning with the help of instructor Chris O’Dowd. I can’t recommend Chris enough! He was very patient and helpful with my driving since the very beginning even in times I didn’t feel confident enough. He encouraged me and constantly reassured me throughout my lessons and pretests. He walked me through the whole driving test process to calm my nerves, he really is the best instructor I could’ve asked for. His advice and unbelievable teaching will stick with me for life. Thank you Chris for everything, you are the best at what you do.

After getting my test date confirmed and having completed EDT with a different instructor I was lucky to find NDS online, Jackie did a great job at booking me in their busy schedule and was booked a pre test with Chris Kennedy in Dun Laoghaire, what can I say!!! ….Whatever I write here will be short of praise to what this man deserves!!! In my very first few minutes of meeting him he made me feel at ease and in just one session I was clear on what I needed to work on while also being encouraged on what I was doing well. He built my confidence and after two more sessions I went on to pass my Test within my very first go at it, and with only two marks!!! ???????? I had only been driving for a year but he was exactly what I needed to polish my skills and give me the confidence necessary to pass my test, first time around!! I couldn’t recommend Chris anymore, if you want to pass your test he is your Man!! ???? thank you so much Chris, you are amazing at what you do!!

Had a brilliant experience learning to drive with Mick. I had been learning with another instructor previously and gave up as I was getting nowhere. I restarted automatic lessons with Mick and flew through my test first time! He is a brilliant teacher, very calm and so friendly which is absolutely what you need from your instructor! Can't thank him enough for all his help, I couldn't have done it without him and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for lessons!

If you are a newbie, we would suggest you book our 30-hour package. If you pass the exam faster, we will refund the number of hours unused (provided you have used a minimum of 20 hours). On the other hand, if you need some extra hours of learning, you can top up on an hourly basis to train until you appear for your driving test.
