Driving Instructor Manager vs Fahrtrack

Driving Instructor Manager is an Android and iOS app for handling the day-to-day records and coordination of driving lessons. Instructors can manage bookings, see statistics, record lesson outcomes and skills development, and produce progress reports. Bookings sync with the instructor’s calendar, while centralized student records hold contact details and lesson history. Before scheduled lessons, the app can send students SMS and push notifications; instructors can customize the timing and message text. The maker says data is backed up to cloud servers and synchronized across devices, and that the app supports UK DVSA requirements for progress tracking and lesson records. School administration is included, but theory lessons and practice tests are not. The privacy policy describes encryption in transit and at rest, authentication, access controls, security updates, and secure server infrastructure. Core features are free at free, though the maker says premium features may be introduced later. Instructors can delete accounts, which also permanently removes associated student records and lesson data.

Fahrtrack is driving-school software for recording lessons, following learner progress, and tracking exam readiness. Its digital training diagram card creates lesson records with digital signatures; completed lessons are locked. Readiness estimates use assessment history and identify outstanding basic exercises and special drives. Each learner can view progress, readiness, and assessments through an individual link without signing in. Learner accounts track charges and payments, including automatic lesson charges after a signed lesson is completed. Schools can export training records, progress, and financial data as PDF or CSV. Fahrtrack runs on Android, iOS, and the web; its responsive web app can be installed as a phone PWA and is described as usable offline. Schools can invite unlimited instructors at no charge and share a credit balance. The free plan covers one student; additional student credits are sold as one-time purchases, starting at €49, paid once for 10 credits. Existing learners must be added manually, with their current training status entered into the system.
