DriveSchoolPro tracks every pupil against the full DVSA 8-category, 27-skill framework — lesson by lesson. AI briefings give you context before each session. Pupils see their own progress in real time.
Most driving school software uses a generic progress bar. DriveSchoolPro is built around DVSA's official Ready to Pass framework — 8 categories and 27 specific skills. When a pupil sees their progress, they're seeing the same official breakdown of skills that you're trained to teach against.
After each lesson, open the session on your phone and rate the pupil's performance against the skills you covered. Each skill is rated on DVSA's five Ready to Pass levels, plus a Not Started state for skills you haven't taught yet:
You only need to rate the skills you actually worked on in that lesson — you don't have to touch all 27 every time. Ratings persist between sessions and update the overall progress dashboard automatically.
Before each lesson, DriveSchoolPro generates a short briefing using Anthropic's Claude. It reads your notes from the previous session and the pupil's current skill ratings, then writes a 3–4 sentence summary of what to focus on.
"Last session Emma worked on junctions and struggled with speed on approach — she was arriving too fast and having to brake late. Her mirror checks are now consistent (Independent). Today's focus: junction approach speed and timing. She's also not yet introduced to parallel parking, which would be good to cover if junctions go well. Emma tends to tense up when she makes a mistake — keep the tone relaxed."
The briefing is ready when you open the lesson card — you don't have to scroll back through previous notes or remember what happened last week. For multi-instructor schools, it means cover instructors arrive with full context without having to ask colleagues.
Pupil data is never used to train AI models.
As skill ratings improve, a test readiness score updates automatically. The score reflects average progress across all 8 categories, so it's clear whether a pupil is ready across the board or has specific gaps.
Pupils access their progress through a self-service portal — no app download required. They can see:
Because pupils can see their own DVSA ratings in the portal, a parent asking how it's going gets objective data rather than a vague "coming along well" — the pupil can simply show them. A dedicated parent and guardian login is not available yet.
DriveSchoolPro is free while we're in early access — until 31 March 2027 — set up your first pupils and track a week of lessons before committing.

DriveSchoolPro tracks all 27 official DVSA driving skills across 8 categories: The Basics, Control & Positioning, Observation & Planning, Junctions & Roundabouts, Manoeuvres, Road Types, Driving Conditions, and Following Routes. These are the same categories and skills as DVSA's official Ready to Pass framework — not a simplified version.
DriveSchoolPro generates a test readiness score by averaging progress across all 27 DVSA skills, weighted by category. When a pupil reaches consistent Independent-level performance across all 8 categories, the system flags them as test-ready. Instructors can see a breakdown by category so it's clear exactly where a pupil still needs work.
Yes. Every pupil gets access to a self-service portal where they can view their progress against each DVSA skill, see upcoming lessons, check their lesson package balance, and update their contact details. A separate parent and guardian view is not available yet.
Before each lesson, DriveSchoolPro generates a 3–4 sentence briefing using Anthropic's Claude. It draws on your notes from the previous session and the pupil's current DVSA skill ratings. The briefing typically covers what was covered last time, what still needs work, and what to focus on today.
After each lesson, you open the session record on your phone and rate the pupil's performance against the relevant DVSA skills. Ratings use a six-level scale from Not Started through to Reflection. The ratings feed into the progress dashboard and update the test readiness score automatically.
Not yet. A dedicated parent and guardian view of a pupil's progress is on our roadmap. Today, pupils see their own DVSA skill ratings, upcoming lessons and lesson notes in the student portal, and can share that with a parent themselves.
