For driving instructors and schools

Booking software for driving instructors.

Pupils book lessons from your own website, buy blocks of lessons and see how many hours they have left. You keep travel time between lessons, and a clear week. From US$19 a month, with no commission.

Your diary

A day of lessons.
Time to get between them.

Set the hours you teach each day and add time after a lesson for the drive to the next pupil. Pupils only see times that leave you room to get there. Lunch and time off stay blocked.

Lesson blocks

Sell lessons in blocks.
Pupils book from their balance.

Offer five or ten lessons at a set price, with an expiry date if you want one. When a pupil books, a lesson comes off their balance, and they can see what is left. If you take online payments they can buy a block on your website; otherwise you record the payment and the balance starts.

Made for lessons

The small things that keep a driving school running.

First lesson first.

Ask new pupils to book an introductory lesson before regular lessons open up. You meet them, check their level, and they move on to the right lessons.

Regular lessons unlock after the first lesson is completed.

The same slot every week.

Book a regular pupil into the same time weekly or fortnightly, up to 26 lessons at once. Each one is a normal booking you can move or cancel on its own.

Tuesdays at 16:00 · 10 weeks booked.

Where and how you teach.

Your website shows the areas you cover and whether you teach manual, automatic or both, so pupils know before they book.

Good to know

What Confirva doesn’t do for driving schools.

  • It doesn’t book driving tests. Test bookings stay with the DVSA. You can offer mock tests and test-day lessons as normal services.
  • Reminders are by email. There are no text message or WhatsApp reminders.
  • No in-car app. You can keep private notes on each pupil, but there is no lesson-by-lesson progress tracker.
  • No fixed intensive courses. A week-long course with a set timetable isn’t a single booking yet; book it as separate lessons.

Questions

Driving instructors ask.

Can pupils pay for a block of lessons online?
Yes, if you connect Stripe or Square. Pupils buy the block on your website and book lessons from it. You can also take payment your own way and start the balance yourself.
Do lessons from a block count as bookings?
Yes. Each lesson counts once, in the month it takes place, like any other appointment. Buying the block doesn’t count.
Can I run a school with several instructors?
Yes. Each instructor has their own lessons and hours, and pupils can choose who they learn with. Up to 10 instructors per business.
Do pupils need an account?
No. They book with their email and get a private link to manage the lesson. To use a lesson block they confirm their email with a sign-in link.
Can I take a deposit for the first lesson?
Yes. With Stripe or Square you can take a deposit or the full price, and with Stripe you can also save a card. Or show bank transfer and Monzo details and let pupils pay you directly.
Can I move my pupils across?
Import them from a CSV file, then book regulars into their usual weekly slot in one go.
