20 real-style questions. Timed. Instant results. See if you are ready before you book the real thing.
Your instructor knows your roads
Your instructor in Tallaght knows the N81 merge, the Belgard roundabout, and exactly where learners get caught on test day.
In Finglas, they know the tricky right turn at Charlestown. In Raheny, the school-zone speed limits that trip people up. In Swords, the Estuary roundabout and the R132 dual carriageway.
Every instructor works the same area, week in, week out. That is the difference.

How many lessons do I need to pass the driving test?

What is EDT and do I need it?
EDT (Essential Driver Training) is a mandatory 12-lesson course set by the RSA. Every first-time learner permit holder in Ireland must complete it before sitting the driving test. If you hold a recognised foreign licence, you may only need 6 lessons. Read our full EDT guide.
Can I book automatic driving lessons?
Yes. We offer automatic lessons across Dublin at the same price as manual. No clutch, no stalling. Same EDT structure, same instructor quality. See our automatic lessons page.
