DriveDesk
Lesson schedule per instructor, every student’s progress, road tests and balances in one place - and students see it all on their phone.
Driving school management software for lessons and students
Every student has a file with lessons driven, hours still needed, road tests and payments. The schedule shows the week per instructor and vehicle, and marking a lesson as done updates the student’s progress on the spot. In their own app, students see upcoming lessons, progress, their test date and what they still owe.
