EDT in two months?

barry181091

I have done 4 of the 12 EDT lessons. Thing is, I can't really get any practise in between the lessons as I live away from home and no real access to car. Obviously this makes the lessons harder.

Thing is, i'm moving to Belfast in September and you can't use a provisional license up there. So really I would like to have my full by the start of September. Is this feasible giving the constrained time frame? Could I ask the instructor for two lessons a week? The real problem is the lack of practise I can get in, so there is no guarantee I will necessarily be ready by the end of August for any test

Impossible as you have to wait before you complete your 12 EDTs before you can even apply to do your full test. You will be waiting at least 2 months just to do that. Seeing as you can't get any practice in between lessons it's highly unlikely you will pass you test first time.

And if I asked to for two EDT's a week? So I could have the 12 done by the end of July. But yeah, the passing could be an issue alright :P

That's incorrect, you don't have to wait until the 12 lessons are done to apply for the test, you can apply at any time but you won't be given a test date until all 12 are done. It's also possible to get a cancellation by calling the RSA as soon as they're completed.

A friend of mine recently got a test date less than 2 weeks after she'd completed her EDTs

When did you get your learner permit? You have to wait 6 months after you get that to do a test as far as I know.

Oh I have that a year or so now. Really if I could get 2 EDT lessons a week I would be ok; assuming I come on with progression fairly fast. Obviously a lot of assumptions.

I can't tell you why

Perfectly possible. Do an intensive course like this. Then apply for a cancellation. Job done.
And if you don't pass first time, you can get the train down to try again.

I knocked off 4 edt lessons in one day coming up to my test. Drove 1 hr to test centre, 2 hours driving test route and one hour back. Obviously the instructor had no issue with this as I was pretty experienced driver but talk to your instructor.

I started driving in early March, had my Licence at the end of May. It's doable.
