Driving school softwareEvery lesson booked, every learner test-ready.

Lessons fit into each instructor's working hours, packages show how many lessons are left, and test dates are never missed. Duke books and moves lessons for learners on WhatsApp.

Duke at your driving school

Duke fills the instructors' diaries between lessons.

He books, moves and cancels learners' lessons with their instructor on WhatsApp, from each instructor's free times, and saves new learners as enquiries. Package top-ups, payment reminders and test-week tasks are drafted for you, and nothing changes until you approve.

Duke does this for you

On its own, by your rule

Rebooked while the instructor drives.

A learner can't make a lesson. Duke offers the same instructor's free times and moves it, so nobody has to answer the phone mid-lesson.

Duke on WhatsAppNo problem, Mere. Rose is free Monday at 7:30 am or 4:00 pm for your 60-minute lesson. Which one?

Just answers

Learners running low on lessons.

Duke reads your lesson packages page and lists who is nearly out, with their next test date if you keep one, and can draft a top-up note for each.

Waits for your approval

A mock lesson before every test.

Ask who has a practical test coming up. Duke reads your Driving tests page and drafts a task for each instructor to book a mock test lesson, waiting for your yes.

Who has a practical test in the next fortnight?

Every slot in the diary counts.

Set “320 lessons in October”. Duke drafts a few steps, such as a note to learners who stopped booking, and each morning shows where the month is heading.

The apps driving schools use

Lessons, packages and learners.

Each instructor has a diary from their working hours, learners buy lesson packages, and every payment is recorded against them.

Diary

Each instructor's week, without clashes.

Set working hours, split shifts and days off per instructor. Free times are worked out for you, with a break after each lesson if you want one, and an instructor can't be double-booked.

  • Lesson types such as 60-minute lesson or mock test
  • Lessons marked done or missed
  • A reminder before each lesson, set up once as an automation
A diary with one column per person, their working hours and booked appointments

Shown: Northside Physio's diary, our physio clinic demo. Your instructors' lessons work the same way.

Packages

Lessons bought, lessons used.

A package page linked to each learner keeps the lessons bought, lessons used, price and expiry. Invoice the package and split its price into instalments if the learner prefers.

  • Filter learners running low on lessons
  • Totals per instructor or package
Packages table with sessions bought, sessions used and price

Test dates

Test day, planned weeks ahead.

Keep each learner's theory and practical test dates, results and instructor on one page. Filter by month to see who is coming up.

  • Tasks before a test date, from an automation
  • Results show on the learner's timeline
