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.

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.

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.

*Fill in mock tests while parked with the engine off — not while driving. Unlike a DVSA examiner, an instructor is legally a supervising driver and can't use a phone or tablet on the move.

Common questions

Is progress tracked against the DVSA syllabus?
Yes. Each pupil is tracked against the syllabus so you can see what is covered and what still needs work.
Do mock test results update progress automatically?
Yes. Faults recorded in a mock test feed straight into that pupil’s progress record.
Can pupils see their own progress?
Pupils see their lesson history through their portal. Detailed progress against the syllabus is for you.
