What is EDT Driving lessons? – Essential Driver Training In 2011 Essential Driver Training (EDT) was brought in for any learner who received their first Learner permit on or after April 4th 2011. Anybody who had a permit issued before this date is exempt. At Pinnacle Driving School we will issue you with an EDT log book free of charge which we will stamp after the completion of each module.

12 EDT Driving Lessons
EDT Syllabus

The EDT course applies to anybody who is issued their 1st permit after April 4th 2011 including those who have a full licence in another country (such as USA or India). Once each module is completed the ADI will stamp the logbook, give some feedback and some suggestions on areas to work on before the next lesson. There is also a section for the pupil to analyse their progress so far as well as a section for sponsors to fill out. Before each EDT lesson the ADI will check the logbook and answer and queries contained in it.


Lessons 1-9 need to be done in sequence and lessons 10, 11 and 12 can be done in any order once lesson 9 has been completed. You cannot sit the driving test until you have had your leaner permit for 6 months so there is no need to try and rush getting them completed quickly. After each stage you will hopefully have achieved specified targets and will receive feedback from the ADI verbally as well as notes written in your logbook. After the lesson is finished you should review the EDT Driving Lesson and analyse the skills you used.


The EDT Log book is your own property and will not be read by the Driving Tester on the day of the test. When the EDT system was first introduced, driving test candidates had to bring along their EDT Logbook on the day of the test and testers would view it to ensure all 12 EDT Driving lessons were completed. 


Unfortunately some candidates felt that the testers were reading their notes and it gave them a preconceived idea of their faults before the driving test had even begun. A new system was introduced where the ADI now signs off the EDT Driving Lessons on the RSA system and the RSA wont issue a driving test until all 12 are complete. The driving testers know anyone presenting for a test must have already completed the 12 EDT lessons so there is no need to view the logbook.


Pinnacle Driving School offers a course of 12 EDT Driving Lessons for €600. This includes a free logbook. All lessons are 2 hours long which is 2 EDT Lessons.
