Know exactly who is ready for test
Progress is easy to feel and hard to prove. Lesson Diary turns each lesson’s notes and every mock test into a clear picture of where a pupil is against the syllabus, so test readiness is a decision you can back up. It is all part of the driving instructor app.
DVSA syllabus tracking
Every pupil mapped against the syllabus, so you can see covered ground and gaps at a glance.
Progress notes per lesson
A quick note of what you did and what is next, kept against the lesson it belongs to.
Mocks feed the record
Every fault from a mock test updates that pupil’s progress — no writing it up twice.
Watch progress tracking in action
Rate each skill in one tap, watch the test readiness bar fill, and keep every lesson on record.

Mock tests, marked the DVSA way*
Grouped like the DL25. Pass or fail, live, as you tap.
-
Familiar, not another form to learn
Grouped the way you already think about a test — Manoeuvres, Junctions, Judgement, all of it — so there's nothing new to learn.
-
Pass or fail, worked out for you
Live fault tally as you go — 16 minors or a single serious fault and it's a fail, exactly like the real thing. No mental maths mid-lesson.
-
Feeds straight into their record
Every fault becomes part of the pupil's actual skill progress — no double entry, no separate spreadsheet.
