The price of 12 EDT lessons in Ireland depends on:

• Your location
• Manual or automatic car
• Instructor experience
• Lesson package deals
• Weekend or evening availability

Based on current Irish driving school pricing, most learners pay between €500 and €700 for a full EDT package.

Some examples from Irish driving schools include:

• Around €587 for manual EDT packages in Dublin
• Around €660 for automatic EDT lesson packages in some Dublin areas
• Smaller schools offering packages around €550–€600 depending on promotions and availability

Automatic EDT lessons are often slightly more expensive because automatic instructor cars are less common and have higher operating costs.

When comparing prices, learners should also check:

• Is pickup included?
• Is the MyEDT upload included?
• Is driving test car hire available later?
• Are weekend lessons available?
• Is the instructor RSA approved?

Choosing the cheapest package is not always the best option. An experienced ADI can help you progress faster and avoid developing bad habits.

What Is the Difference Between Driving Lessons and EDT Driving Lessons?

This is one of the most common questions from learner drivers in Ireland.

EDT Driving Lessons

EDT lessons are mandatory lessons required by the RSA. They follow an official lesson structure and each completed lesson is uploaded to the RSA MyEDT system by your instructor.

Without completing your EDT lessons, you cannot apply for your driving test.

Regular Driving Lessons

Regular driving lessons are additional lessons taken outside the EDT programme. These lessons usually focus on:

• Test route preparation
• Roundabouts
• Reverse manoeuvres
• Parking
• Confidence building
• Mock driving tests
• Pre-test correction lessons

Most learners in Ireland take additional lessons even after finishing EDT because the 12 mandatory lessons alone are usually not enough to pass the driving test confidently.
