How many EDT lessons do I need for an automatic driving test in Ireland?

Regardless of whether you choose manual or automatic, the RSA requires all learners to complete 12 Essential Driver Training (EDT) lessons. At Driveability, we specialize in automatic EDT lessons to help you progress faster through the syllabus.

Can I use a Driveability automatic car for my driving test at Maple House?

Yes! We provide car hire for the driving test at Maple House and Mulhuddart (N3/Maxol). This includes a pre-test lesson immediately before your exam to ensure you are comfortable and confident.

Is the driving test easier in an automatic car?

Many students find the automatic test easier because it eliminates the risk of stalling and the complexity of gear changes. This allows you to focus more on observation and road positioning, which are key scoring areas in the Dublin 15 test routes.

I would highly recommend Tomek to anyone looking for a driving instructor. From the very beginning, what stood out to me was his genuine belief in my ability to drive safely and competently. His confidence in me made a real difference and helped me build my own confidence behind the wheel. Tomek’s coaching style is calm, reassuring, patient, and highly professional. His guidance during lessons in the Mulhuddart and Blanchardstown areas was invaluable. He shared plenty of useful tips about potential test routes, explained the manoeuvres clearly, and provided excellent learning materials that helped me feel fully prepared for my driving test. Thanks to his guidance, encouragement, and practical approach, I was able to pass my driving test on my first attempt. I am truly grateful for all his support and for the confidence he helped me develop. If you are looking for an instructor who genuinely cares about your progress and success, Tomek is an excellent choice. Thank you, Tomek, for everything!

I highly recommend Tomek from Driveability to anyone looking for an exceptional driving instructor! Completed lessons with him around the local Blanchardstown/Mulhuddart route, and the entire experience was brilliant. Tomek is incredibly patient, kind, and calm behind the wheel, which completely took the stress out of learning and massively boosted one’s confidence. He is always exactly on time, highly professional, and breaks down complex skills into clear, helpful feedback. Every session felt like an encouraging, safe environment and offered excellent value for money!

Highly recommend Tomasz . He is absolutely amazing instructor. I did my 12 EDT lessons with him and it was a great experience. He’s incredibly patient and always made me feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. I'm very stressful person but Tomasz has done everything to let me believe in myself and I got more confident. His teaching style is great and If you really looking for somebody good to teach you book with him .!

UPD: Passed after two pre-test lessons with Tomek I had a pre-test with Tomek at Mapple House, and I couldn’t recommend him more! I chose him based on a recommendation I saw on Reddit from someone who had passed their test at Mapple House, and I’m so glad I did it - definitely wasn’t a miss! Tomek is very professional, explains everything clearly, and is a genuinely pleasant person. He helped me identify and improve my weak points and gave me much more confidence for my upcoming driving test. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone preparing for their test!
