Frequently asked questions about learning to drive with VS Driving School

Getting Started

First, you'll need to obtain your learner permit from the NDLS (National Driver Licence Service). Once you have that, you can begin your EDT (Essential Driver Training) lessons with us. We'll guide you through every step of the process.
You'll need your valid learner permit, comfortable shoes suitable for driving, and glasses or contact lenses if you require them for driving. We provide everything else including the dual-control car.
We serve South Dublin, Bray, Sandyford, Cherrywood, Dun Laoghaire, Stillorgan, and surrounding areas. Pick-up and drop-off is included with every lesson.

EDT Lessons

EDT (Essential Driver Training) is a mandatory 12-lesson programme introduced by the RSA for all learner drivers. It covers essential driving skills in a structured way, and each lesson must be completed with an RSA-approved instructor like us.
Each EDT lesson is 1 hour long. We recommend spacing lessons out to allow you time to practise between sessions, but this can be flexible based on your availability.
While it's possible, we generally recommend one lesson per day for optimal learning. However, if you're on a tight schedule, we can discuss an intensive programme.

Driving Test

This varies per individual. The minimum is 12 EDT lessons (mandatory), but most students benefit from additional pre-test lessons. We'll honestly assess your readiness and advise you accordingly.
