EDT lessons tailored to Grangegorman driving
Start on residential streets, build to Grangegorman Upper and Manor Street. That is how EDT works in Grangegorman.
L1-2: Controls and Positioning
Prussia Street near the shops offers a manageable introduction with on-street parking creating gentle obstacles. You learn clutch control, basic gear changes, and how to position the car away from parked vehicles before the campus roads come into play.
Learn about EDTL3-4: Direction and Speed
Grangegorman Lower descends steeply from the campus towards the North Circular Road. You learn to manage speed on the downhill, hold position through the blind bend at the bottom, and time your approach to the junction without braking at the last second.
EDT detailsL5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Grangegorman Upper runs past the campus entrance with narrow lanes, speed restrictions, and pedestrian crossings that activate without warning. Students step off the kerb mid-block. You learn to scan for movement across a wide field, not just straight ahead.
Test preparationL7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
Manor Street is a live bus route with stops, delivery vans double-parked on both sides, and pedestrians stepping off the kerb between parked cars. You practice the pull-out manoeuvre into oncoming traffic and learn to read the space before committing.
Test preparationL9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed
The North Circular Road has bus lanes, multiple filter lights, and a high volume of traffic throughout the day. You work on lane discipline, reading filter arrows, and timing your entry and exit from complex junctions under real traffic pressure.
View optionsL11-12: Calm and Night Driving
The final lessons cover the full route from Grangegorman to Finglas Test Centre via Phibsborough. Night driving on Grangegorman Upper and Manor Street adds the challenge of reading pedestrian activity in lower light. You arrive at test day knowing every junction.

Grangegorman Upper runs past the TU Dublin campus entrance. New road layouts, bus-only gates, and pedestrian crossings used by thousands of students make it one of the more demanding roads in Dublin 7 for a learner. Your instructor picks you up at the TU Dublin main entrance, the Grangegorman Luas stop, or the Manor Street bus stop.
Manor Street is the main artery connecting Grangegorman to Stoneybatter. Delivery vans double-park daily and you practise pulling around them into oncoming traffic. It is exactly the kind of real-world hazard that comes up on the Finglas test routes.

Passed at Finglas. What our learners said.
Sinead took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. I completed my lessons with Richard in Finglas through RSA School of Motoring and couldn’t recommend him enough. He’s incredibly patient, supportive, and explains things so clearly that I felt more confident every week. He tailored each lesson to what I needed most, and gave me so many helpful tips. Thanks Richie!
I was a student of RSA school of motoring and I had a wonderful experience from progressing through my EDTs to getting my license. I would like to thank Richard and Enes Zejnilovic who were my instructors. They went through all the minutia of all the rules of the road and how to pass your exam in the first attempt. Richard helped me before my test and prepared me to be confident, because of which I was able to pass my test in the first attempt. I passed my test in Finglas. For anyone looking to do their EDTs I would recommend you consider RSA school of motoring and also Richard!
Austeja took driving lessons with RSA School of Motoring. Couldn’t believe it when I passed my driving test in Finglas on my first attempt! Have to say I owe it all to Richard! Excellent teacher with a ton of patience and guidance. Couldn’t have done it without him. Thank you Richie!
I've passed my driving test today in Finglas Jamestown centre. All thanks to Richard. I failed my test 5 times until two weeks ago I changed the driving school and did THREE hours including pretest with Richard. He is irreplaceable, strict but encouraging. It's easy to understand him and learn every facet of the exam. We covered all Finglas routes with Richard, because he is well planned ahead and exactly knows what has to be done within the time limit.
