North Wall EDT lessons match actual test routes
Your EDT covers North Wall traffic patterns. From quiet estate roads to North Wall Quay at peak time.
Lesson 1-2: Controls and Positioning
Your first lessons take place on the quieter stretches around New Wapping Street, away from the Quay traffic. Short distances, slow speeds, and building your feel for the car before the Docklands roads get involved.

Sheriff Street Upper gives you a long, regenerated road to work on direction changes at new junctions. Speed ramps keep things manageable while you practise turning and reading signage without pressure.
EDT detailsLesson 5-6: Complex Positioning and Hazards
Mayor Street Upper in the IFSC is the shared space lesson. Pedestrians have priority in parts of this zone. You will work on positioning, slow-speed control, and reading what pedestrians are about to do before they do it.
Test preparationLesson 7-8: Sharing the Road and Traffic
North Wall Quay at peak time is buses, vans, and Luas trams all in the same space. This lesson focuses on Luas track crossings, bus lane rules, and keeping a safe distance in fast-moving quayside traffic.
Test preparationLesson 9-10: Complex Junctions and Speed
The Tom Clarke Bridge approach from the north side requires lane selection well before the merge point. Miss it and you end up on the wrong side of the Liffey. This lesson drills the approach, the choice, and the execution.
View optionsLesson 11-12: Calm Driving and Night Conditions
Event nights at the 3Arena change the whole character of North Wall Quay. Extra pedestrians, slow-moving traffic, and vehicles double-parked near Point Square. Your final lessons cover driving with patience when conditions are against you.

North Wall Quay runs along the Liffey through the heart of the Docklands. Wide, yes, but the Luas Red Line tracks cut across it and you cannot stop on them. Your instructor will pick you up at The Point Luas stop or Mayor Square and start there, where the docklands roads are at their most specific.
Mayor Street Upper is shared space territory. Low speed limits, office workers stepping out between cars, and very little room for error. You learn to slow down and watch, not just look.
Manual lessons cost €53.27 per hour, or €49 per lesson on the 12-pack. The 6-pack is €52.50 per lesson. The full EDT is €587.95. Automatic starts at €61.41 single or €54.94 per lesson on the 12-pack. Pretest with car hire is €183.63 manual, €193.81 automatic.
Female instructors are available. Your test centre is Raheny, about 16 minutes via East Wall Road and Alfie Byrne Road. That route is part of your EDT from the beginning.
Sheriff Street Upper and the Tom Clarke Bridge are covered later in training, once your lane discipline is solid. The bridge approach on the north side has a tricky merge that catches people out.
