More than likely, 12 edt lessons will not be enough lessons to pass your driving test. Keep that in mind when booking your driving test.   

Fail to Prepare, Prepare to Fail 



"EDT is a course of 12 one-hour driving lessons which are designed to help your practical driving skills. After each session, an Approved Driving Instructor will take note of your progress. On completion of the EDT course you may still require driving lessons to improve your driving skills and safety."

We would prefer all cancellations or re-scheduling of appointments to be made 24 hours prior to the appointment start time.

From time to time we may need to move around driving lessons for various reasons but mainly because we try give priority to people on their  test day.  When your test day arrives you will get priority as much as we can i.e availability, practicality etc.

We expect everybody to be on time but if your running late please text.
I will only wait till 15 minutes past the appointed time if you don't call or if we cant get in contact with you.


I try to be on time as much as possible. When running behind time I will text or call to keep you up to date.

You must present a valid Learner Permit or EU Licence at each appointment for Private Car / Light Commercial Vehicle lessons. It is an offence to drive without a valid Learner Permit.

Failure to show a valid Learner Permit before the commencement of a Private Car  lesson
will result in the loss of the lesson.



If, in the opinion of Michael Guilfoyle 34758 the Driving Instructor, you are unfit to drive at the appointment time, this will result in loss of the lesson.

The contract is between the purchaser and Michael Guilfoyle ADI 34758 the Driving Instructor who has agreed to deliver the services. The driving instructor reserve's the right to alter, suspend or terminate any driving lesson at any time at my discretion.

Vouchers are the sole responsibility of the holder, We do not accept responsibility for vouchers that are lost, stolen or mislaid, protect them as you would cash.
 No voucher.  No lessons.

Pupils availing of any lessons must have a Learner Permit for the category of vehicle for which tuition is to be provided.

Vouchers won as spot prizes have no monetary value and must be used within 6 months of issue. No exceptions.

No refund will be given for any driving lessons not used. A credit note will be issued.

In the interest of comfort and safety learners are advised to wear suitable footwear and clothing which does not restrict movement. Learners must also take note of any medication they are taking that may affect their ability to drive safely and advise their instructor accordingly before taking any lesson booked.
​
Preferably any cancellations or re-scheduling of appointments should be made 24 hours prior to the appointment start time.

I don't answer mobile phones as much as practical on driving lessons but sometimes I may have to respond to a text or a call.
