About Us

Southern Mobility Assessment & Tuition Specialists was established in 1997 based in Cork, Southern Ireland.

We are a professional indemnity insured company and registered in Ireland.

Having firstly acquired The Driving Instructor Register qualification, our A.D.E.P.D. “Structured Tuition” certification, further enhanced our skills to provide tuition and assessment for older drivers and people with a disability.

In 2000, we acquired certification for The Driving Instructor Register administration and examination process.We purchased an automatic/semiautomatic car in 2006 and adapted it to the most modern standards providing tuition, assessment and demonstration.

In 2007 Southern Mobility Assessment & Tuition Specialists and the Disabled Drivers Association Of Ireland combined their professional, specialist expertise and knowledge to develop a course for driving instructors interested in providing driving tuition for older drivers and people with disabilities, to improve the availability and standard of driving tuition in Ireland.

In 2008, we purchased a second automatic car to deal with the increased demand for services. This means that the services we provide are not limited to people with a disability. We now also cater for people for whom an automatic transmission car would be their preferred option.

The following is a list of the types of tuition vehicles we provide:

• Driving lessons in an adapted automatic car for people with a disability.
• Driving lessons in an automatic car for people who would prefer to learn to drive in an automatic car instead of a manual car.
• Driving lessons for people who choose to drive a manual car, referral lessons are arranged.

We provide consultancy and a comprehensive driving and assessment programme to various Hospitals, General Practitioners, Occupational Therapists and other Health Professionals, in addition to engaging in communication and information exchange in assisting research.

We enjoy a professional, friendly working relationship with all clients, health services, companies, groups, associations etc. involved in this specialist area. Our objective in improving Road Safety, Awareness, Mobility, Independence, Integrity, Equality has further evolved with the introduction of our information website in 2008.
