Essential Driver Training (EDT) is a mandatory course that teaches fundamental driving skills to learner drivers. It’s part of the RSA’s Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) scheme and aims to improve road safety. Although EDT covers essential skills, you’ll need additional practice to become a safe driver.
EDT was introduced to improve driving knowledge and skills, especially for new and inexperienced drivers who are more likely to be involved in collisions. If your first learner permit was issued on or after 4 April 2011, you must complete all 12 EDT lessons before taking your driving test.
EDT consists of 12 one-hour sessions. It’s recommended to allow two weeks between each session to practice and complete any additional lessons or reading.
The 12 EDT sessions cover a range of essential driving skills, including:
Session 1: Car Controls and Safety Checks
Session 2: Correct Positioning 1
Session 3: Changing Direction 1
Session 4: Progression Management
Session 5: Correct Positioning 2 (More Complex Situations)
Session 6: Anticipation and Reaction
Session 7: Sharing the Road
Session 8: Driving Safely Through Traffic
Session 9: Changing Direction 2 (More Complex Situations)
Session 10: Speed Management
Session 11: Driving Calmly
Session 12: Night Driving
