PRIOR TO YOUR FIRST LESSON
- Provisional licence– you will require to provide both the card and paper parts of you licence on your very first lesson. If you need to request a licence you can get an application form from you local post office or you can use online at https://www.anewdriver.ie.
- If you have actually lost part of your licence you need to replace this; you can do this online, by telephone or by post.
- Sponsorship– before starting your lesson you will need to have a plan on how to pay for a complete driving course whether this is through savings, work or family. It does not pay to have lessons and then stop due to no cash as it will take you longer to pass your test if you do not have regular lessons.
- Time– guarantee you have sufficient time to devote to finding out to drive– after all it is a new ability that you are obtaining that will require routine practice in order for you to progress.
- We advise you have one, two hour lesson each week under the supervision of an expert driving instructor.

IN BETWEEN YOUR LESSONS
When your driving lesson is over the learning does not have to stop there. To boost your knowing you might:
- Complete a learner driver journal or journal– as soon as your lesson is over, fill out the journal with what you have actually covered in the lesson, what went well and what didn’t. You can utilize this to review the lesson and get ready for your next lesson. You can utilize the journal as a guide on what requires practising if you have someone to practice with between lessons.
- Theory and Hazard Perception practice– use the web and books to revise for your theory test and threat perception test. The sooner your theory is passed the much better.
Do not forget that if you have any questions about your lessons, your driving ability or anything else then just ask your trainer.
