How a Driving School Runs on TuitionDesk: Vehicles, Instructors, Licence Stages and Test Dates

Stop running lessons from a paper register and a WhatsApp group. Add your cars and instructors, schedule lessons that cannot clash, see every learner’s licence stage and next lesson, and let instructors mark each lesson done from their phone.

Setup flow

How a Driving School Sets Up on TuitionDesk

The same 5 steps for a one-car school or a school with a dozen cars. Set up once, then run your week from one screen.

Org setup

Choose Driving school

Pick Driving school when you create your centre. Vehicles, instructors, lesson slots and licence stage appear in your menu, and your country sets the currency, payment method and time zone.

Vehicles & instructors

Add your cars and instructors

Add each vehicle and each instructor. They appear in their own lists and can be assigned to lesson slots straight away.

Lesson slots

Schedule lessons that cannot clash

Create a lesson slot with an instructor, a vehicle and a learner. If the instructor or the car is already booked at an overlapping time, TuitionDesk refuses to save it and tells you which one is busy and when. The same instructor on two lessons that do not overlap saves fine.

Learners

Track licence stage and test date

Set each learner’s stage (learner, provisional or test-ready) and record how many lessons they have completed. The learner’s card shows the stage, the lessons done and the next scheduled lesson. When you book a driving test, record the test date on the learner yourself.

Instructors & fees

Instructors mark lessons done on their phone

Instructors open Today on their phone and see their lessons with the vehicle and the learner. One tap marks a lesson Done or No-show, and you see the change without refreshing. Lesson fees use the same fee dashboard, plans and receipts as the rest of TuitionDesk.

4 kinds of school

Pick Your School

Every school below runs on the same TuitionDesk account. Pick the one that looks like yours.

School 1 · One instructor, one car

The owner teaches too

One login runs everything: lesson slots, learners, licence stages and fees. The Free plan covers up to 10 learners at no cost.

School 2 · Several cars, shared instructors

Two cars, one instructor, no clashes

One instructor drives two cars on different days, and two instructors share one car. TuitionDesk blocks a lesson the moment it would put an instructor or a car in two places at once, and the message names the one that is busy.

School 3 · A learner heading for the test

Stage, lessons done and test date in one place

The owner moves the learner to test-ready and records the test date. The learner’s card shows it next to the lessons done. The test booking itself is made with the licensing office, as before.

School 4 · A growing school

More cars, more instructors, more learners

Paid plans add learners and logins as your school grows. The driving school features are on every plan, so you start with the same screens at any size.
