EDT/Reduced EDT
The purpose of EDT is to save lives. Getting a driving licence is a privilege, not a right. As a learner driver you are exposed to greater risks when using the roads due to inexperience. Maximising your road safety knowledge and behaviours helps you to develop the skills and confidence needed to share the road safely with others. By completing EDT you will build a strong foundation on which to become a better and safer driver.
The EDT Sessions
EDT for learner drivers is a 12-hour course delivered in 12 one-hour sessions.
It is recommended that you allow two weeks between each session so that you can take further driving instruction, practise your new-found skills and do the required road safety reading. It’s best to spread your EDT course over a six-month period.
Alternatively, you may be eligible for reduced EDT which is delivered in six one-hour sessions.
