EDT LESSONS | Driving Lessons Skibbereen

ESSENTIAL DRIVER TRAINING.

This is the compulsory training sessions that all new drivers are now required by law to follow. As you complete each module your instructor will confirm this on the Road Safety Authority system. You will not be able to book a driving test until all the modules have been uploaded on the system by an Approved Driving Instructor. ( in order to take a test you also must have held your provisional licence for at least 6 months).

The 12 modules take 1 hour each to complete. They are the minimum requirement for driving lessons. It is recommended that you practice with your “sponsor” between the lessons. If you do not have access a car in order to practice in between the lessons, you will usually need more driving lessons to reach test standard. Here are the required EDT lessons:

EDT Lesson 1: Car controls and safety checks
EDT Lesson 2: Correct positioning
EDT Lesson 3: Changing Direction
EDT Lesson 4: Progression Management
EDT Lesson 5: Correct positioning (more complex situations)
EDT Lesson 6: anticipation and reaction

EDT Lesson 9: Changing Direction (More complex situations)
