What you, your learners and your instructors see
The school runs from the dashboard. Learners and instructors see the same data on their phones.
Learners pick a car to ride along with them, and it cheers them on the day they pass.
Running a school today can mean juggling tools that weren't built for it
Bookings live in a group chat, payments in a notes app, progress on paper and theory prep somewhere else. Passdesk puts all of it in one place for you, your staff and your learners.
Bookings in texts and chats
Texts get missed. Slots double-book. Cancellations go unnoticed until the instructor's car is parked outside.
Payments scattered
Bank transfers, cash on the day, half-remembered "I'll get you next week". Nobody knows the real balance.
Theory and practical drift apart
Lessons in one app, theory revision in another, no shared view of how close to test-ready they are.
What's in Passdesk
Lessons, payments and test-aligned progress, plus theory practice, route planning, and an in-car flow that keeps working when the phone loses signal.
Scheduling
Drag and drop lessons in a calendar that shows up in Google, Outlook or Apple. Reminders go out a day and two hours before, and your cancellation policy applies itself.
Learn more →Payments
Learners pay by card online. Deposits and no-show fees are taken automatically, and everyone sees how many hours they have left.
Learn more →Progress tracking
Over 30 skills from the driving test, marked in a tap, with a test-ready score. Manual or automatic, and notes carry over to the next lesson.
Learn more →Cancellation waitlist
When someone cancels, the slot goes to learners waiting for one, and the first to tap within 10 minutes gets it.
Learn more →Theory practice
Practice questions across all 14 DVSA topics, plus timed 50-question mock tests.
Learn more →Routes & test prep
Practice routes around each test centre. Draw one on a map, upload a route file, or record it on your phone as you drive.
Learn more →In-car mobile flow
Start and end lessons, note mileage and mark skills on your phone, even with no signal. It catches up when you are back online.
Learn more →UK compliance
Licence details, ADI and PDI records, consent history and an audit trail, with data hosted in the UK.
Learn more →Teach riders too? Run your CBT days in the same diary, with the DVSA ratios worked out, online bookings and DL196 reminders. See motorcycle training

Before you switch
Can you move my learners over from my current app?
Yes, for free on any plan, including during the trial. Send us the export from your current app and we’ll set it up for you: learners, lesson history, packages with what’s left on them, progress and test results. If you’d rather do it yourself, the same six importers are on the Import data page, and each one shows you a preview before anything is saved.
What gets moved over →Can I try it properly before I move everything?
Yes. Schools get 30 days free, and you don’t need a card to start. Bring your real learners in and run Passdesk alongside your current app until you’re sure. Nothing is charged until you choose a plan.
Is there a contract?
No. You pay month by month, or yearly for two months free, and there’s no notice period or exit fee. Your learners, lessons, payments and progress are yours, and you can download them whenever you like.
Is there anything to pay on top of the plan?
Card payments from learners cost your school 2.5% + 20p each, with Stripe’s fees included and nothing added to what the learner pays. Email is always included. Texts only go out if you turn them on: every school starts with £4 of text credit, about 100 texts, and after that each one costs 4p. There’s no setup fee, and moving your data across is free.
Texts and optional extras →How do my learners pay me?
By card, from a payment link on their phone or when they book online, so you don’t need a card reader. Connecting your school to Stripe takes about five minutes. The money goes into your school’s own Stripe account, not ours, and Stripe pays it into your bank. Learners who pay cash or by bank transfer can carry on: you record it in Passdesk and their balance stays right.
