One platform, one price

The whole driving school, for ten quid a month.

Twenty-five features built around your test day, your diary, and your pupils. Built by an instructor, for instructors. No starter tier with the good bits locked.

New, all included

Bin Total Drive. Bin the spreadsheet.

The diary, the booking page, the reminders, the pupil portal. Same login as your DL25 form. Same ten quid.

Drag-and-drop diary

Week, day, and month views. Drag a lesson to move it. Resize to change length. Set a weekly slot once, it repeats forever.

Your own booking page

Share dl25.co.uk/book/your-name on Facebook, in your email signature, on your van. Pupils see your real availability and pick a slot. You approve in one tap.

Automated lesson reminders

Polite email goes out 24 hours before every lesson with your name, the time, and the pickup point. Optional second reminder a few hours before. Fewer no-shows, no chasing.

Pupil portal

Send a secure link. Your pupil sees their upcoming lessons, downloads past DL25 reports, tracks their progress score, and checks their balance. No password to forget.

Pupil payment tracking

Log cash, bank transfer, or a card payment taken on your own machine. You take the money directly, never through us. Each pupil's balance and what's outstanding shows on every screen.

Waiting list

Full diary? Add pupils to the waiting list with a priority. When a slot opens (cancellation, pupil passes), you see who to ring first. No more "I'll get back to you" sticky notes.

Same login. Same form. Same price.

The small things that add up.

Four features other DL25 tools don't have. All in on every paid plan.

Add to home screen

Installs in one tap from Safari or Chrome. Opens full screen like any app. Survives the signal blackspot on the way back from the test centre.

Send via WhatsApp

One tap opens WhatsApp with a friendly message and a link to the PDF. Your pupil has the report before you've started the engine.

Call or text from the card

Save the pupil's mobile once. Phone them about traffic, text them about a reschedule, all from their card. No flipping between Contacts and Messages.

Copy last test for a retest

Same pupil, six weeks later, ninety percent the same faults. Tap Duplicate, change the two things that improved, save. Three minutes instead of ten.

The basics, done right

The three things that matter on test day.

A form you can fill from the cab. A PDF that looks the part. A save button you'll never need to press.

Mobile-First Design

Fully responsive and touch-friendly. Use DL25 on any device, phone, tablet, or desktop. Perfect for on-the-go test reporting.

PDF-Ready Exports

Generate professional, branded PDF reports instantly. Perfect for records, sharing with pupils, and official documentation.

Auto-Save & Fault Tracking

Never lose your work. All changes are automatically saved as you complete the form. Track dangerous, serious, and driving faults in real-time.

The rest of the toolkit

Everything else, included.

No tiers, no add-ons. The features below are the same whether you pay monthly or annual.

Dedicated Instructor Forms

Professional DL25 forms tailored specifically for UK driving instructors with all required fields and sections.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Your data is protected with industry-standard encryption and secure authentication. GDPR compliant.

Fullscreen Form Mode

Focus on completing reports with distraction-free fullscreen mode. Perfect for mobile devices and tablets.

Pupil History Dashboard

Manage all your pupils in one place. View their test history, track progress, and access reports instantly.

Full Fault Breakdown

Full fault tracking with dangerous, serious, and driving faults. Easy-to-use counters for accurate reporting.

Subscription Management

Easy subscription management. Monthly or annual plans, payment history, and billing management.

Settings & Customization

Manage your account settings, update profile information, and customize your DL25 experience to suit your needs.

Unlimited Pupils

Add as many pupils as you need. No limits on the number of pupils or reports you can create and manage.

Report Management

View, manage, and delete reports easily. Access all test reports for each pupil with full history tracking.

Pass Rate Analytics

Live pass rate, fault trend bars across dangerous/serious/driving, and tests-this-month counters on your dashboard. Spot patterns across pupils.

Stays Online When You're Not

Smart caching means the UI keeps working when signal drops on country lanes or in test-centre dead spots. Recovers automatically when you're back online.

Multiple Reports Per Day

Run a mock test and a real test in one day? No problem. DL25 supports multiple reports for the same pupil on the same date.

Saved Signature on PDFs

Sign once in Settings with your finger, stylus, or mouse. Every DL25 PDF you generate from then on auto-signs at the bottom. No more end-of-week scribbling.

Test Readiness Score

Score each pupil 0–5 across the 26 DVSA syllabus competencies. Their overall percentage is on every screen, including the pupil portal, so everyone knows where they stand.

AI Pre-Test Summary

One click before a pupil's test. Pulls the last few DL25 reports plus their progress scores and writes a plain-English readiness summary you can share or use as a final-lesson brief.

Recurring Lessons

Same pupil, every Tuesday at 4pm, forever. Set it once with weekly or fortnightly repeat. Drag a single instance to move just that lesson without touching the rest of the series.

Block payments & balances

Took a block of lessons up front? Log it as one payment and the credit sits on the pupil's balance, counting down as you teach. Pupil sees what's left on the portal. No spreadsheets, no awkward conversations about who owes what.

Double-Booking Protection

Built-in conflict check before any lesson saves. If you try to drop a booking on a slot that already has a lesson or blocked time, it warns you. Booking requests that clash get flagged on the approval screen so you never accept a conflict by accident.

Passwordless Pupil Login

No password for pupils to forget. You hit "send portal link" on their profile, they get an email, they click, they're in. Link expires in 24 hours for security. Works on any phone.

Proper Pupil Records

DOB, licence number, transmission, test centre, test date, medical notes, emergency contact, address. Every detail your insurer or the DVSA might ask for, kept against the pupil. Tap-to-call works from every field.

What it changes for you

Ten minutes back on every test day.

No more scanning paper at home. No more "I'll send it next lesson." No more illegible scrawl.

Save Time

Complete DL25 reports faster with our simple interface. No more filling out paper forms or dealing with messy handwriting.

Stay Organized

Keep all your pupil records and test reports in one secure location. Access them anytime, anywhere.

Professional Quality

Generate polished, professional PDF reports that impress pupils and maintain your professional reputation.

Work Anywhere

Complete reports on your phone, tablet, or computer. Perfect for test centers, in-car, or at your desk.

Common questions

What instructors actually ask.

Honest answers, no marketing spin.

The diary is a single web page that loads in under a second. There is no native app to crash. Drag a lesson, it saves. Reload the tab, it is still there. If your phone loses signal mid-edit, the change queues and replays when you are back on data.

Yes. You get a /book/your-name URL you can share on Facebook, Instagram, your website, or in your email signature. Pupils see your working hours, pick a free slot, drop their name and mobile, and you get an email. You approve or decline in one tap. Approved bookings drop straight into the diary.

Pupils with an email on file get a polite reminder 24 hours before the lesson with your name, the pickup point, and the time. You can also set a custom reminder (1, 2, or 6 hours before). Missed lessons trigger a private note back to you so you can chase. No bulk SMS, no per-message fees.

Yes. Email them a secure portal link (one click from their profile). They land on a clean page with their upcoming lessons, their DL25 reports they can download, a test readiness score, and a payments record. No password to remember, the link is the login.

You log every payment yourself, so the money always goes straight to you, never through us. Record cash, bank transfer, or a card payment you have taken on your own machine, and DL25 tracks each pupil's balance and what is still outstanding. The balance updates on your dashboard and on the pupil portal.

Yes, in one tap. On iPhone or iPad use the Share button in Safari and pick Add to Home Screen. On Android use the install prompt in Chrome. It then opens full screen like any other app and stays cached so it keeps working if signal drops on the way back from the test centre.

Tap the green Share button on any generated report. WhatsApp opens with a message already typed, "Hi Sarah, here is your DL25 report from 14 April. You passed. View it here." and a link straight to the PDF. If you have the pupil's mobile saved, it opens to that chat. If not, you pick the recipient like any other share.

It copies every fault tick, every note, and the pupil details. The result (Pass / Fail / Terminated) is cleared so you consciously set it for the new test. Then you just update what changed for the retest.

Yes, once you save your signature once in Settings. Draw it with your finger, stylus, or mouse. The signature is then embedded at the bottom of every DL25 PDF you generate, next to your name and school. The pupil still has a clear line to sign on paper too.

The fault counters are large tap targets, sized for gloves or cold fingers. The form auto-saves so a mistap on the wrong field is easy to correct. Fullscreen mode strips away navigation so you cannot accidentally lose your place.

Yes. The form is designed for portrait but rotates and reflows for landscape on tablets. If you mount your tablet on the dash, this is the way to use it.

Every change attempts to save as you tap. The page stays cached so it does not disappear if the connection drops. (Heads up, we are currently building an offline-save queue that will replay any missed saves automatically when you are back on data.)

Yes. Everything is encrypted in transit and at rest. Only you can see your pupils. We do not share data with third parties and DL25 is fully GDPR compliant.

Yes. All 18 DVSA competency areas, all 58 fault items, with the dangerous, serious, and driving fault distinction kept exactly as on the paper sheet.
