Motorcycle lessons and IBT training in Blanchardstown

Blanchardstown sits on the west edge of Dublin with the N3 running straight out to our part of Meath. That link makes it easy for riders here to train with us.

Learning to ride from Blanchardstown

A lot of riders in Blanchardstown want a bike to beat the daily crawl, so we keep the training practical: filtering, positioning and staying visible in heavy traffic. We start on quieter roads before taking on busier stretches, building you up to handle the commute with confidence.

We also cover the west Dublin area around Blanchardstown including Castleknock, Clonsilla and Mulhuddart.

  • Bike and gear provided

    No machine of your own? You'll ride ours, with the gear sorted, so there's nothing to buy before you start.

  • Small groups

    On the road it's usually one or two riders per instructor: calm, RSA approved and at a pace that suits you.

  • Built around your test

    Everything ties back to what the examiner wants, so you're ready when test day comes.

Pre-test at the Mulhuddart test centre

If your test is at Mulhuddart, on the Old Navan Road in Damastown (D15 XHP3), we can do your pre-test there. It's a centre we go to often, so you'll practise the U-turn, the slow ride and the emergency braking on the roads around it. We cover the rest of the RSA's Dublin test centres too.

You can check the address and the licence categories it covers on the RSA's list of test centres.
