The programme

Twelve sessions, in the order the RSA sets them

Every first-time car learner in Ireland has to complete Essential Driver Training before sitting the practical test. Sessions 1 to 8 build on each other and must be taken in order. Sessions 9 to 12 can be taken in any order once the first eight are done.

fixed order any order

  1. 1

    Car controls and safety checks

    Cockpit drill, mirrors, dashboard warnings, the walk-around. You finish able to move off and stop on a quiet road.

  2. 2

    Correct positioning

    Where the car sits on a straight, through a bend and approaching a junction. Position is one of the top reasons people fail.

  3. 3

    Changing direction

    Left turns, right turns and the junction types you meet around Clondalkin and Lucan every day.

  4. 4

    Progression management

    Driving at the speed the conditions ask for. Being too slow costs more test candidates than being too fast.

  5. 5

    Correct positioning, advanced

    Roundabouts, multi-lane roads and complex junctions — including the three-lane roundabouts on the N7 corridor.

  6. 6

    Anticipation and reaction

    Reading the road far enough ahead to have a plan already made. We use commentary driving to train your eyes.

  7. 7

    Sharing the road

    Pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, buses. Includes the 1.5 metre passing rule and how examiners look for awareness.

  8. 8

    Driving safely through traffic

    Dense city traffic and lane discipline. Worth booking for a rush hour if you are testing at Tallaght.

  9. 9

    Changing direction, complex

    Filter lanes, lane changes, and the three manoeuvres: turnabout, reverse around a corner, hill start.

  10. 10

    Speed management, complex

    National roads, bad weather, heavy traffic. Matching speed to conditions when the conditions keep changing.

  11. 11

    Driving calmly

    Smooth inputs, eco-driving and lower fuel use. Smoothness is marked in its own right under vehicle controls.

  12. 12

    Night driving

    After dark, dipped beam discipline and glare. We book this one for a genuinely dark evening, not a summer twilight.
