Why EDT?

It's not just a requirement; it's the foundation of safe driving. Completing your EDT is the first major step toward your full license.

Pre-Test & Mock Exams

Prepare for the Talaght or Dun Laoghaire driving test with confidence.

Route Familiarization

We take you on the most common test routes, showing you the tricky junctions and speed zones.

Mock Test

A full simulation of the driving test. We use the same marking sheet as the tester to identify faults.

Vehicle Check

Ensure your car meets the test standard (L-plates, insurance disc, tires, lights) to avoid cancellation.

Detailed Feedback

Receive a comprehensive report on your driving faults after every session, so you know exactly what to improve.

Refresher Lessons

Been off the road for a while? Or maybe you have your full license but are nervous about motorways or city center driving?

Our refresher lessons are tailored 100% to your needs. There is no set syllabus—we work on what YOU want to improve.
