What the whole thing costs, start to finish
For most learners from scratch, the 12 lesson EDT course at €587.95 is the core spend, plus a pretest hour at €183.63 before the test. Some people add a few single lessons at €53.27 for extra practice. On top of the lessons you'll pay the separate theory test, learner permit and driving test fees, which go to the Road Safety Authority, not to us.
