What we teach

What you can book

The same price list whichever you pick. Pick-up and drop-off at an agreed point, at home, school, college or work, is in every lesson price.

Learner permit to full licence

EDT, the 12 lessons

Essential Driver Training is the 12 lessons a learner permit holder completes with an Approved Driving Instructor before the test. Each one is signed off in your logbook as you go, and we tell you plainly where you are.

Read the EDT guide

Test booked

Pretest lessons

A one-hour lesson in the area around your test centre shortly before the test, with car hire for the test itself, so you sit it in the car you practised in.

No clutch, no stalling

Automatic lessons

EDT and pretest alike can be taught in an automatic. Worth knowing before you book the test: a pass in an automatic gives you an automatic-only licence, code 78.

Essential Driver Training

Twelve lessons, logged

12lessons 1logbook 1driving test

A learner permit holder completes twelve EDT lessons with an Approved Driving Instructor before sitting the driving test. Your instructor signs each one off in your logbook when it is done. Holders of some foreign licences qualify for a reduced six-lesson course.

Between lessons, practise with a qualified driver beside you. The EDT gives the structure; the hours you put in around it make it stick.

Test booked

Pretest lessons

Once your test is booked, a pretest lesson is your last hour with the instructor before the day, and the car for the test comes with it.

The hour before

A one-hour lesson in the area around your test centre, shortly before your test, so the day does not start cold.

The car

Car hire for the test is part of the pretest price, so you sit the test in the car you practised in.

A straight answer

Your instructor says honestly whether you are ready. If something is missing you hear what it is, and nobody sells you hours you do not need.

More on the day itself in our driving test preparation guide.

FAQ

Asked and answered

Do you teach automatic driving lessons?

Yes, for EDT and pretest alike. Instructor times vary from town to town, so we confirm your instructor and car when you enquire. If you sit the test in an automatic, your licence covers automatics only (code 78).

Can I ask for a female driving instructor?

Yes. Tell us when you enquire, along with anything else that matters to you. We confirm your instructor when we come back to you.

Do you collect me, or do I meet you somewhere?

We collect you. Pick-up and drop-off at an agreed point in your town, at home, school, college or work, is in the lesson price, so the hour you pay for is an hour of driving.

What is the EDT, and do I have to do it?

Essential Driver Training is 12 lessons a learner permit holder must complete with an Approved Driving Instructor before the driving test. Each one is signed off in your logbook as you go. Holders of some foreign licences qualify for a reduced six-lesson course.
