Driving Instructor Diary

Everything an independent driving instructor needs to run the week, in one app that works in the car with no signal. Pupils, lessons, prepaid hours, payments and test readiness — without a monthly platform charge. Driving Instructor Diary is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) or any other government entity, and it does not represent a government entity. Government source: the built-in UK checklist is a teaching aid written from the DVSA's published guidance on the car driving test — https://www.gov.uk/driving-test/what-happens-during-test — and the DVSA's official site is https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/driver-and-vehicle-standards-agency Your pupils install nothing. PUPILS • Profiles with photo, phone, pickup address and licence number • Theory and practical test dates, with a countdown to the practical test • Status of active, passed, paused or left — passed pupils stay in your records rather than being deleted LESSON DIARY • Day and week views of what is booked • Clash warning if a new lesson overlaps an existing one • Mark lessons completed, cancelled or no-show • Pickup and drop-off recorded per lesson • A reminder an hour before each lesson PREPAID HOURS AND PAYMENTS • Sell blocks of hours and track the balance as it is used • A lesson taken from a block consumes hours and bills nothing, so prepaid hours can never be counted twice • Pay-as-you-go lessons bill at the lesson rate • Record cash, bank transfer, card or mobile money • See at a glance which pupils are running low on hours SKILL CHECKLIST THAT MATCHES YOUR COUNTRY • Built-in checklists for the UK, US and Australia, plus a generic one • Every checklist is fully editable — rename, reorder, add and remove • Duplicate a preset and build your own from it • Rate each skill from 0 to 5 as the pupil progresses • Readiness percentage counts unrated skills as not yet demonstrated, so the figure reflects the whole syllabus rather than only the parts you have looked at • Weakest-skills view to plan the next lesson TEST READINESS REPORT Produce a document for a pupil or their parent showing progress by category, which skills still need work, hours taught and lessons attended. EARNINGS AND REPORTS • Total earnings and hours taught, with a chart of hours per month over the last six months • Completed lessons and no-show rate, with cancellations excluded from the calculation • Active pupil count at a glance • CSV export for your accountant WHY INSTRUCTORS SWITCH • Works offline — the car park is not the place to discover you have no signal • One-time purchase available instead of a recurring platform charge • Checklists are editable rather than locked to one country's syllabus • Available in 12 languages, including right-to-left layouts WHAT YOU GET WITHOUT PAYING Up to 5 active pupils with every feature working, lesson reminders included — passed, paused and left pupils do not count toward the limit, so you never have to delete history to stay under it. The readiness report and CSV export unlock with a short ad. Premium removes the pupil limit and all ads, and gives the readiness report and CSV export without an ad. Add your first pupil and see the week ahead.
