FAQ for solo instructors
I’m a one-person operation. Is the Pro tier overkill?
Probably — Starter (£49/mo) handles up to 50 students and 3 staff slots, which is enough for the first phase of growth. You can upgrade to Pro the day you hire your first instructor.
Can I bring my existing learners and packages?
Yes — paste your current webpage and Passdesk imports your products. Students upload via spreadsheet, or you can re-invite them by email so they bring their own theory progress.
How does it compare to a franchise?
No franchise fees, no rate splits, no required uniform. You keep your own brand, your own students, your own bookings. Passdesk is a tool, not a network — though if you want to be findable, your school auto-appears at passdesk.co.uk/schools.
Will I outgrow Passdesk?
No — the same workspace scales from 1 instructor to a multi-school group. The only thing that changes is the tier you pay for and which features you turn on.
Do I need a card reader for in-car payments?
No. Send a Stripe payment link by SMS or share a QR — the student pays from their phone. It’s the same flow your bank or accountant already uses.
