How to manage block bookings in ADI Admin

Use block bookings to track prepaid driving lesson time, so pupil balances update as lessons are booked, changed or corrected.

This guide explains how the feature works inside ADI Admin, the diary and admin app for independent UK driving instructors.

Basic steps

  1. 1

    Open the Block bookings page from the main app navigation.

  2. 2

    Choose the pupil who has paid for lesson time in advance.

  3. 3

    Add the number of prepaid hours they have bought.

  4. 4

    When you book a lesson for that pupil, ADI Admin can use their prepaid balance and deduct the lesson time automatically.

  5. 5

    If a mistake is made, use the adjust balance section to remove hours and correct the pupil balance.

Useful for

  • Tracking prepaid lesson time for each pupil
  • Automatically deducting time when prepaid lessons are booked
  • Adding time back when lesson records are changed or corrected
  • Avoiding manual block booking balance mistakes
