Welcome to Nolan Driving Academy Carlow, owned and operated by David Nolan - who is a Driving instructor offering driving lessons in the following Categories.
●Motorcycle IBT training courses
●Motorcycle Pre test
●Motorcycle advanced rider Rospa training.
I hold the prestigious Gold standard Award in advanced Motorcycle riding. I'm certified by the RSA(road safety authority) to teach Motorcycle - car-jeep & trailer-bus lessons and have been very lucky to gain years of experience driver training in the Irish Prison Service Escort core.
I also hold an ESDS trainer and driver certificate (Emergency Service Driver Standards). Level 1 and Level 2. Emergency service drivers aim to achieve an exemplary standard of driving that acts as a positive example to other road users.
I believe my training backed up by my passion for road safety and teaching means that I can offer a great service to young and old students, whether they are only starting out or need a refresher course after years of bad habits.
As an instructor I will:
- present my knowledge, understanding and experience clearly and effectively
- listen to the learner’s reactions to that input
- help the learner to identify any obstacles to understanding and change
- support the learner to identify strategies for overcoming those obstacles for themselves
I'm a qualified ADI with the RSA and I have an absolute passion for teaching driver training.
My approach to learning is based on coaching a student rather than telling the student, it is client centered which enables a learner friendly environment.
This approach I feel will make a long-lasting change to the students understanding and behaviour, as required to become a competent driver.
Services offered:
- Car Lessons (EDT lessons)
- Motorcycle Lessons (IBT)
- ESDS Training
- Introduction in Roadcraft (advanced road riding for motorcycle and car)
- Jeep and Trailer (terms and conditions)
- Bus Lessons (terms and conditions)
