It's run by the company behind PassMeFast, and makes its money from the intensive courses it offers instructors as jobs and from a small fee on card payments. DriveSchoolPro is free until 31 March 2027, then has a permanent Free plan for 1 instructor and up to 60 lessons a month, or Solo at £22 a month with no VAT charged.

"Not listed" means we could not find the feature on ADI Network's public website on 16 October 2026. It may exist. We use "Not listed" rather than "No" so we never say a competitor lacks something we haven't seen them say. If anything here is out of date, email info@driveschoolpro.com and we'll correct it.

These are features for running your own private pupils, from the table above.
- Your own pupils book themselvesPut the booking widget on your website and pupils book within the rules you set. Lesson reminders go out by email automatically.
- The full DVSA frameworkDriveSchoolPro tracks the official 27 skills across 8 categories, lesson by lesson, and pupils see their own progress in their app.
- Lesson prep written for youBefore each lesson, DriveSchoolPro writes a short briefing from your last notes and the pupil's skill ratings, using Claude.

What DriveSchoolPro doesn't do
DriveSchoolPro doesn't supply work. There's no jobs board or ready-made courses with test dates, so it won't fill your diary the way ADI Network's course jobs can. Recording test bookings and results is coming soon. If you mainly want paid course work, ADI Network is built for that.

DriveSchoolPro vs ADI Network: common questions
Yes. Many instructors take some work from course providers and teach their own private pupils too. You could pick up PassMeFast courses through ADI Network and run your private diary, bookings and DVSA progress in DriveSchoolPro.
DriveSchoolPro tracks all 27 DVSA skills in 8 categories, lesson by lesson, and pupils see their own progress. ADI Network has a progress tracker covering key skills such as manoeuvres, moving off and mirrors, plus a reflective log, but it doesn't name the full DVSA framework.
We've tried to make it one. The ADI Network column only records what its own website and app-store listings say, checked on 16 October 2026. Where we couldn't find a feature we say "Not listed", not "No". If you spot an error, email info@driveschoolpro.com and we'll correct it.
