How a driving school runs in Kabooly

Not a feature list. This is the setup most instructors end up with.

  • Pipeline stages that match a pupil's journey

    Stages are yours to define. Instructors usually land on Enquiry, Waiting List, First Lesson Booked, Learning, Test Booked, and Passed. Enquiries you cannot take yet stop being lost, because Waiting List is a stage rather than a note on the back of your hand.

  • Licence, theory and test centre on the record

    Contacts carry tags and custom fields, so provisional licence checked, theory test passed, transmission, test centre and pickup area all sit on the pupil record and can be filtered. It saves the conversation you have already had twice.

  • An enquiry form that answers the obvious questions

    Build the form, ask for postcode, age and whether they have their theory, and embed it on your site. The submission creates the contact and can start an automation while you are in the car with somebody else.

  • First lessons and assessment drives booked online

    Set up a booking type for a first lesson or an assessment drive, set the hours you actually work, and publish the booking widget. Kabooly sends the reminder email before the lesson automatically, which is money when a no show costs you an hour.

  • A waiting list that people stay on

    Tag the pupils you cannot fit in yet and keep them on a marketing list. When a slot opens, one email reaches everyone waiting instead of you scrolling back through months of missed calls.

  • Knowing which advert brings pupils

    UTM parameters are captured on form submissions, so the tracking and attribution reports show whether enquiries came from search, a local Facebook group, or a recommendation. Instructors often pay for the one that produces the fewest.

Three automations worth building in your first week

Each of these is a trigger, an optional wait, and an action. Nothing to code.

  1. The enquiry answered while you are teaching

    When a form is submitted, send an email with your prices, the areas you cover and your current wait, and create a task to call back. Learners ring five instructors in an afternoon and take the first one who replies.

  2. The waiting list that goes quiet

    When you tag a contact as Waiting List, wait four weeks, then send an honest update on where they are. Pupils left in silence book with somebody else and never tell you.

  3. The pass that should bring you two more pupils

    When you tag a pupil as Passed, wait one week, then send a congratulations email with your review link and a note that you have space for their friends. A new pass is your best possible advert, for about a fortnight.

Questions from driving instructors

Can I track pupil progress towards their test?

Add notes after each lesson. Track topics covered, areas for improvement, and test readiness. Review progress easily before each lesson.

Can pupils book their own lessons?

Yes, share your booking link and let pupils schedule lessons directly. Set your available hours and areas, and they choose times that work for them.

How do I reduce no-shows?

Send lesson reminders via email before scheduled lessons. Online booking also tends to increase commitment to appointments.

How do other driving instructors use Kabooly?

Driving instructors typically use Kabooly to manage pupil details and progress, schedule lessons, send reminders, track enquiries, and ask successful passes for referrals.

How do I get referrals from passed pupils?

Create an email template for after they pass. Send congratulations and make it easy for them to recommend you to friends and family.

Can I manage enquiries while teaching?

Website enquiries create contacts automatically. Check your pipeline between lessons and respond when you have time, with all the details already captured.

How do I know which advertising works?

Lead attribution shows where your enquiries come from. Know whether pupils find you through Google, social media, or local advertising.

Is it easy to use on my phone?

Yes, Kabooly works great on mobile browsers. Check pupil details, add lesson notes, and manage bookings, all from your phone between lessons.
