The best aspect of this is that you can apply for your driving test online before you start your 12 EDT driving lessons but your driving test will not be scheduled before you take all the EDT lessons.
This allows you the advantage to make sure you complete the course before appearing for your final driving test. The EDT sessions need to be completed with an ADI (Approved Driving Instructor).

This is why you do:
- To understand the rules and regulations of the road.
- The EDT teaches fundamental driving skills to learners.
- The 12 EDT lessons are part of RSA’s Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) which aims at road safety.
- To be able to maintain road discipline and have respect towards other road users.
- To avoid the common mistakes that motorists make while using the road.
Who needs to complete the 12 EDT lessons?
- An individual who has attained the age of 16 years or above the age of 16 years.
- Any individual who has issued a learner permit on or after 4th April 2011.
- Any individual who wishes to acquire a driver’s license.
- Young inexperienced drivers who have not undergone actual driving lessons from a well-established driving school that has been approved by the Road Safety Authority (RSA).

The 12 EDT lessons
The 12 EDT lessons are discussed below in accordance with the Road Safety Authority (RSA) syllabus.
Feeling nervous and want to switch to automatic cars?
If you think you want to get those benefits mentioned above, we have the best instructors for the learners. You can enrol for the driving lessons for automatic driving and get the 12 EDT automatic driving lessons after getting the learning permit.
Point to note here that the driving license for the automatic car drivers comes with some restrictions as the driving license and test for the manual and automatic drivers are different. If you want to drive manual cars, you need to give a separate trial.
EDT Automatic driving lessons Dublin
We deliver the complete EDT Programmes 1-12 in our Automatic driving lessons. We can act as your sponsor if you didn’t have one, so there is no need to worry about that.
After completing 12 Lessons, we will assist you in progressing forward to apply for your full driving test after going through the pretest, which will prepare you thoroughly and polish your skills.

Why must you get a Road Safety Authority (RSA) logbook for your 12 EDT driving lesson?
Your logbook is highly essential since it’s needed whenever you’re going for each lesson, as it’s required to come with you on each RSA 12 EDT driving lesson.
The notebook contains all the comments from the ADI (assigned instructor) who have guided you through the previous lessons and the progress that you have made as an individual.
The RSA 12 EDT driving logbook is issued to the learner by the Approved Driving Instructor during the start of the first EDT lesson.
After the completion of the 12 EDT lessons, the ADI stamps the relevant section of the book to show completion and he/she records information in the logbook indicating if you met the objectives of each lesson and how competent you are.
The ADI can only sign and comment on lessons that he/she has instructed. Under any circumstances that you opt to change an ADI, he/she cannot sign on lessons that you previously took under the aid of another ADI.
This ensures that all ADI’s take responsibility for the lessons they teach and that they can be held accountable in case of any incident.
In an incident where your RSA logbook gets lost, you should report to the Gardai, before obtaining a duplicate logbook from your ADI.
The waiting period of obtaining the duplicate logbook can be long, thus one is required to ensure his/her logbook is safely kept as it also plays a major role when you are acquiring your driver’s license.

Would 100% recommend him, he’s an amazing instructor, I wouldn’t of passed without all his help🙏🏼
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for all the guidance and support you provided throughout my driving lessons. As an Indian national living in Ireland, the process was a bit daunting for me at first, but your patience, professionalism, and dedication made all the difference.
Thanks to your excellent teaching, I was able to pass my driving test, and I couldn’t be more excited! Your clear instructions, calm demeanor, and personalized approach to my learning made the experience so much smoother.
I truly appreciate how you took the time to ensure I was not only prepared for the test but also confident on the road. Your encouragement and belief in my abilities helped me immensely, and I will carry the skills you taught me throughout my life.
Thank you once again for being such a fantastic instructor. I will always recommend Kevin Veeren to anyone I know who’s learning to drive.
But I take a moment to express how passionate and caring towards all his students Chris is. He teaches you not just to drive safely on the roads but prepares you for your big day and the compassion hits you in a different way. I highly recommend Chris to all the drivers out there looking to get a full license. There is someone out there looking after you all. Book sometime and see it for yourself as I feel no amount of words can express how good he is and the volcano of talent as a Teacher he possesses.
Thank you for giving me such a great level of coaching Chris.
Hands down, they are the best in business. Thanks a lot Darren and Chris!
professional, patient, and genuinely invested in my success.
The lessons were structured to maximize my learning in a limited time frame. My instructor tailored the sessions to focus on my specific weaknesses, which helped build my confidence quickly. The practical driving sessions were thorough, and I felt well-prepared for the test. They also provided valuable tips and resources for the theory part, which made a significant difference.
Thanks to National Driving School, I not only passed my driving test but also gained a solid understanding of safe driving practices. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn quickly and effectively. Their dedication to helping students succeed is truly commendable!
