Instructor scheduling

A lesson booked in under a minute, without six calendars open.

Pick the learner and the time, and DriveSync works out who can take the lesson: who is free, whose car suits the licence code and the transmission, and who is closest to the pickup. You decide how much each of those counts. Instructors see their own day on their phone, and no person or car can be booked twice for the same slot.

How it works

Pick the learner and time

Or ask DriveSync for the next free slot across your whole team.

Take the suggestion

Instructors are ranked by availability, distance to the pickup and who the learner usually drives with.

It lands on their phone

The instructor sees the lesson and pickup address in their day, and marks it done afterwards.

What you get

Suggestions by availability, the right car for the code, distance and the learner’s usual instructor
Neither an instructor nor a car can be double-booked
Road tests block the diary like any lesson
Lessons still missing an instructor collect in one list
Instructors book their own time off, which blocks new bookings straight away
The whole team’s week on one screen
Staff meetings that block the invited instructors’ diaries

Tune the matching to your school

Weigh four things against each other: the learner’s usual instructor, distance to the pickup, instructor priority and workload
Fair rotation shares lessons around the team; best match always picks the top scorer
Decide how many lessons it takes before an instructor counts as a learner’s usual one
Give extra weight when a learner asks for a particular instructor
Auto-assign the instructor, or only show suggestions and choose yourself
Let staff swap the car on a single booking, or keep it fixed

Questions

How does DriveSync choose an instructor?

It suggests instructors who are free for the slot and whose car suits the licence code and transmission, ranked by your school’s own formula: distance to the pickup, the learner’s usual instructor, priority and workload. You can always pick someone else.

Can I change how instructors are picked?

Yes. You set how much each factor counts, and choose between fair rotation, which shares lessons around the team, and best match, which always picks the top scorer. Smart recommendations depend on your plan.

Can two lessons be booked on the same car?

No. A car or an instructor already booked for a slot cannot be booked again for it, and the same goes for trailers.

Do instructors need to install anything?

No. Instructors open DriveSync in the browser on their phone, and can add it to their home screen so it opens like an app.
