I provide a free Learner Logbook for everyone who books their EDT lessons. Learn more about your logbook from the Road Safety Authority here.
What are EDT lessons?
Essential Driver Training (EDT) lessons are 12, mandatory, 1 hour lessons, that teach learner drivers the fundamental skills needed for driving in Ireland.
If the issue date of your first B category (car) learner permit is on or after 4 April 2011, you must first complete all EDT sessions before applying for your driving test.
Below I have compiled an EDT Learning Guide, covering each of the 12 lessons. Have a look to help prepare you for your lessons, and then use them as a study aid for practice in between our lessons.
