Cost of the 12 EDT Lessons

New learner drivers must complete 12 Essential Driver Training (EDT) lessons with an RSA-approved instructor.

At Kit’s Driving School Drogheda, our EDT package is designed to:

  • Cover all 12 required lessons

  • Build your confidence step by step

  • Prepare you for real roads and your driving test

Across Drogheda, the typical ballpark for 12 EDT lessons is around €500–€600+, depending on the school and what’s included. Kit aims to stay in the “great value, high quality” zone – not the cheapest, not the most expensive, but focused on results.


Extra Costs to Plan For

Learning to drive usually involves a few extras on top of the basic lessons:

Pre-test lessons
Most learners book focused pre-test sessions to:

  • Practise local test routes

  • Polish manoeuvres

  • Calm test nerves

Car hire for the driving test
Many students choose to sit their test in Kit’s instructor car, which:

  • Is fully insured and maintained

  • Meets all RSA requirements

  • Is the car you’ve been practising in

Extra practice lessons
Some people need more than 12 lessons, especially if they’re nervous, had a long break, or failed a test before. Extra lessons are charged at the standard hourly rate, and Kit will always be honest about what you actually need.


Why Choose Kit’s Driving School Drogheda?

There are plenty of instructors – here’s what makes Kit a solid choice:

  • Patient, one-to-one lessons – no shared time, no pressure

  • Local route knowledge – Drogheda, Duleek, Termonfeckin and beyond

  • Flexible pick-up where possible – home, school, work or a pre-arranged point

How Many Lessons Will I Need?

The legal minimum is 12 EDT lessons, but most learners need more to feel genuinely ready.

A typical learner might have:

  • 12 EDT lessons

  • A handful of extra practice lessons

  • Pre-test sessions in the weeks before their test

Kit will review your progress regularly and tell you honestly when he feels you’re ready to book the test – so you’re not wasting money or test fees.
