How to log EDT lessons on the RSA ADI portal.

The five details the portal asks for, the two buttons that matter, what the receipt means, and the three refusals you will meet — explained once, so the end of a lesson stops being paperwork.

Written for instructors, not learners. Reading time about six minutes.

First, the shape of it

One portal, two buttons, five details.

Every Essential Driver Training lesson you give has to be recorded with the RSA under your own ADI login. The record is what the RSA checks for compliance, what the learner sees on their MyEDT account, and what decides whether they can book a test. The RSA asks you to upload each lesson as soon as you can after it ends.

The portal is the ADI Logbook at ccwadi.rsa.ie. Behind the sign-in there are three pages you will use: Upload Lessons, View Completed Lessons and Manage Logbooks. Uploading is a two-stage affair: Add this Lesson stages a row, Submit All Lessons saves everything you staged. Nothing is on the RSA until you have pressed the second one and read the receipt.

For each lesson the portal wants exactly five things. Have them ready before you start, because the form rejects a stray space as readily as a wrong digit.

Driver numberNine digits, from the learner permit. The portal checks it against the date of birth — the pair has to match the RSA's own record of the learner.

Date of birthTyped as dd/mm/yyyy. Two-digit years and American month-first dates are the usual cause of “do not match”.

Logbook numberFrom the learner's paper EDT logbook. If they have lost the book, order a replacement under Manage Logbooks before you upload — the number is required.

LessonThe EDT module from the dropdown, numbered 01 to 12 (the list is below). The portal does not force the order, but it will refuse a module already recorded for that driver.

Completion dateThe day the lesson was given, not today. A lesson uploaded a week late still carries the date it happened.

Step by step

Uploading a lesson.

Sign in at ccwadi.rsa.ie with your ADI email and password. If the page comes back to the login box with no message, the password was wrong — the portal is not chatty about it.
Choose Upload Lessons from the menu.
Type the driver number, date of birth (dd/mm/yyyy) and logbook number, pick the module from the dropdown and set the completion date. Check there is no space before or after anything you pasted.
Press Add this Lesson. The portal checks the details and, if they pass, adds a row to the table under the form. A refusal shows as a line of text above the form instead — see the three refusals below. There is no Remove on a staged row; Edit lifts it back into the form so you can correct it and add it again.
Giving three lessons today? Add all three before you submit. The table holds as many rows as you stage.
Press Submit All Lessons. Every staged row is sent at once.
Read the receipt. “Lessons successfully submitted” with a tick beside each row means saved. A page headed “Review entries” means nothing was saved — one or more rows failed, they are marked in the grid, and you fix them with Edit and submit again.

Not sure whether a lesson went through? Open View Completed Lessons and search by driver number or surname. The page lists your recent uploads twenty at a time.

When the portal says no

The three refusals, in the portal's own words.

“Driver number and date of birth do not match”

The learner's two identifiers disagree with the RSA's record. Nine times in ten it is the date: a digit swapped, a two-digit year, or month and day the wrong way round. Check the permit, not your memory.

“The selected lesson is completed for this driver”

That module is already on the RSA for this learner — logged by you earlier, or by a previous instructor. Nothing to fix: pick the module you actually covered, or leave it if the record is right.

“Review entries … records can be saved”

The receipt page that is not a receipt. One staged row failed and the portal saved none of them. The failed rows are marked; Edit them, then press Submit All Lessons again.

A fourth case is not a refusal at all: a server error page, or a page that never finishes loading. The RSA's site has its off days. Before you add the lesson again, check View Completed Lessons — it is common for the save to have gone through on the first try even though the receipt never arrived.

The dropdown

The twelve modules as the portal names them.

The names in the portal differ slightly from the learner logbook, which trips people up when they search the list. This is the dropdown, word for word.

01 · Car Controls and Safety Checks

02 · Correct Positioning 1

03 · Changing Direction

04 · Progression Management

05 · Correct Positioning 2

06 · Anticipation and Reaction

07 · Sharing the Road

08 · Driving Safely through Traffic

09 · Changing Direction - More Complex Situations

10 · Speed Management

11 · Driving Calmly

12 · Night Driving

Reduced EDT. A learner with a full licence from certain other countries does six modules instead of twelve: 01, 05, 06, 07, 09 and 10. You upload them exactly the same way; only the set is shorter.

Pre-test lessons are not EDT and are never uploaded. Once the learner's EDT set is complete, every later lesson is practice for the test and the portal has no place for it.

Questions instructors ask

Good to know.

When does the lesson show on the learner's MyEDT account?

Not instantly. Learners are told to allow up to ten working days, and in practice it is often quicker. The useful rule is the other way round: don't leave a learner's last EDT lesson to the week of their test, because they cannot book until all twelve are on the record.

Do I still have to sign the paper logbook?

Yes. The RSA record is the one that counts, but the learner presents the paper logbook at the test centre and the examiner expects to see the lessons signed and stamped. Do both, every time.

Can I log a lesson another instructor gave?

No. An ADI records only the lessons they delivered themselves, under their own login. If a learner comes to you mid-way, their earlier modules stay with the instructor who gave them — and the portal will refuse those modules for you anyway.

I uploaded the wrong module. Can I change it?

Not from the upload page. Once a row is submitted it is on the record. Contact the RSA's ADI support to have an entry corrected, and tell the learner, because they will see the wrong module on MyEDT in the meantime.

Can I upload before the lesson ends?

You can, but don't. The completion date is a statement that the lesson was delivered. Log it when it is over — ideally before you drive off, while the learner is still beside you and the logbook is in your hand.

How far back does View Completed Lessons go?

By default the page lists your recent uploads, twenty rows at a time with a link to the next twenty. To find an older lesson, search by the learner's driver number or surname.

The shortcut

Or let your phone do the typing.

Everything above is what Pamio does for you when you tap Send to the RSA on a lesson in your diary. You connect your ADI login once, on your own phone, and it stays there — it is never sent to Pamio. After that each lesson is about ten seconds: Pamio signs in, fills the five details from the learner's profile, adds and submits the lesson, reads the receipt, and shows you the portal's own words if it refuses.

It also remembers which modules are already on the RSA for each learner, so the “already completed” refusal stops happening, and pre-test lessons are never sent.

Pamio on a phone: a learner's EDT modules 01 to 06 marked Done, 07 Sharing the Road picked as the next one not on the RSA, and a button reading Send EDT 07 to the RSA. — **1 · Tap Send**Pamio has already checked the RSA and picked the next module the learner hasn’t done. Change it if you covered another.

The same screen a few seconds later: the button now reads On the RSA, EDT 07 sent just now. — **2 · On the RSA**Signed in, the five details filled, added, submitted and the receipt read — on your phone, with your login, in about ten seconds.
