How to manage driving lessons in ADI Admin

Use lesson records to manage one-off or recurring bookings, lesson times, prices, payment status, pickup details and notes.

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 Lessons page from the main app navigation.

  2. 2

    Add a new lesson by choosing the pupil, date, start time and duration.

  3. 3

    Turn on Repeat weekly if you want to create a regular weekly series. Choose how many lessons to add and review the dates before confirming.

  4. 4

    For recurring lessons, prepaid time is used automatically for as many complete lessons as the pupil's balance can cover, with the remaining lessons left Unpaid.

  5. 5

    If a lesson or recurring date overlaps another lesson or an upcoming driving test, ADI Admin will warn you before saving.

  6. 6

    Check or update the lesson price and payment status.

  7. 7

    Add pickup, drop-off and lesson notes where useful.

  8. 8

    Use the lessons list to search previous lessons and quickly check or change payment status.
