All your attention on the road — none on the gearbox
Often faster to test-ready
Many learners progress more quickly in an automatic because every lesson minute goes into road craft instead of gear changes.
The future is automatic anyway
Every electric car is automatic, and most new cars sold are automatic or hybrid. An automatic licence fits where driving is going.
Worth knowing
The one honest caveat: code 78.
Pass your test in an automatic and your licence carries code 78 — it covers automatic vehicles only, so you can't drive a manual on it. For most people that's no limitation at all; if you know you'll need manual (some jobs, some van fleets), Kris teaches manual in South West Dublin & Kildare. We'll give you an honest steer either way.

Can I sit the driving test in an automatic?
Yes. You sit the same RSA test in an automatic car. If you pass in an automatic, your licence carries code 78, which means it covers automatic vehicles only — you cannot drive a manual on it.
