Driving school management software for multi-instructor schools

Software that runs a multi-instructor driving school rather than one instructor's diary. It adds what a school needs and a solo ADI does not: visibility across several instructors' diaries at once, allocating and reassigning pupils between instructors, school-wide takings with a per-instructor breakdown, one booking route for the whole school, and access control so instructors cannot see each other's finances.

Passly is £14.99 per instructor per month at any size, with school features included rather than sold as a higher tier. A three-car school is £32.97 a month, a five-car school £50.95 and a ten-car school £95.90. There is a 14-day free trial, no contract and no minimum term, and only teaching instructors count as seats.

No. Role-based access means the school owner sees school-wide takings and a per-instructor breakdown, while each instructor sees only their own pupils, lessons and money. This is the setting that matters most for schools running self-employed instructors or a franchise, where instructors are effectively running their own books under your brand.

Yes. Reassign the lesson or the pupil and the record moves with them: lesson history, syllabus progress, notes, outstanding balance and any prepaid credits stay attached to the pupil rather than to the instructor who taught them first. That is the point at which a lot of schools discover their current software treats pupils as an instructor's property, which makes any staff change painful.

Whichever you prefer. The school has its own public profile and booking route into live availability across every car. Turn on the student choice setting and learners pick their instructor; leave it off and you allocate enquiries yourself. Individual instructor profiles can be shown or hidden from school settings, so a school marketing a single brand stays a single brand.

Yes. School settings has three modes: take bookings, take enquiries, or take both on the same page. Enquiries suit the way a school actually fills a car, because the first question a new learner has is whether you have room for them at all rather than whether a particular Tuesday is free. The enquiry form asks which days and hours they can drive, their postcode and pickup address, and whether they have their provisional, have passed theory and have a test booked.

It lands in one inbox for the whole school with a status: new, waiting list, on hold, assigned, invited, converted or declined. You assign it to whichever instructor has capacity and they are notified, then convert it, which emails the learner an invitation lasting seven days under your school's name and logo. When they accept, they become a pupil of that instructor and book and pay like any other. Passly does not match learners to instructors for you, you read the availability and decide.

No. Enquiries carry no commission because no money moves when one is sent, and there is no per-enquiry charge and no charge for putting the form on your own website. The 1.5% Passly fee applies only to lesson payments taken through Passly, on top of standard Stripe processing charges. Your subscription stays at £14.99 for your first instructor and £8.99 for each one after that.

Yes, for the model most UK franchises actually run: self-employed instructors working under a shared brand, each with their own pupils, diary and finances, with the school holding the public presence and the booking route. Role-based access keeps each instructor's money private, per-seat billing means franchisees are added or removed in a click, and each instructor can embed their own booking widget on their own page under your brand.

Invite by email and they are working the same day, with their own login and diary. Seats adjust automatically, so you are not paying for a car you no longer run. When someone leaves, reassign their pupils to another instructor and the full lesson history, progress and balances travel with each learner.

No. The school features sit on the same plan as the single-instructor product, so nothing needs migrating when you take on a second car. You add an instructor, the bill goes up by one seat, and the shared diary, allocation, reassignment and school-wide reporting are already there waiting.
