For students
Everything you need to pass.
Theory study library
Eight theory sections — road signs, rules of the road, hazards, alcohol & drugs, vehicle safety, eco-driving and first aid.
Mock theory tests
A full 50-question mock, timed at 57 minutes with a 43/50 pass mark — or Practice Mode with instant feedback.
Instructor messaging
A direct chat with your instructor, plus one-tap WhatsApp and call buttons.
Confirm & reschedule
Confirm attendance in one tap, or request a new time with a reason — no phone tag.
Test readiness checklist
Hours, manoeuvres, junctions, independent driving, theory and instructor sign-off — it ticks itself off.
Test countdowns
Set your theory and practical dates and two live countdowns appear on your home screen.
Achievements
Eight badges — First Lesson, 10 Hours, All Manoeuvres, Test Ready and more — to keep you motivated.
Works on any device
No app store needed. Add it to your home screen and it opens like a native app.
How it helps you pass
Why portal learners progress faster.
Learning to drive used to rely on memory and guesswork. The portal replaces both with information.
1
Clarity removes fear
Learners who can see their progress in black and white go into lessons calmer. Calm drivers make better decisions — and better decisions pass tests.
2
Revision between lessons
Each practical topic links to a written guide once your instructor has taught it, so lessons build on each other instead of starting from scratch.
3
No wasted lesson time
Your instructor opens your record before every lesson and picks up exactly where you left off.
4
Honest test timing
The readiness checklist means you book your test when the data says you're ready, not when you hope you are.
5
Theory sorted early
Unlimited mock theory tests with a section-by-section breakdown show exactly what to revise.
For instructors
The DriveSQ Instructor Portal.
Less admin, more teaching. Instructors manage pupils, bookings and progress in one dashboard — so every lesson is better planned.
Pupil list in one place
Every learner's details, hours and progress in one dashboard.
Bookings & availability
Lessons and availability tracked without paper diaries.
Progress notes
Rate skills and leave written notes after every lesson — the learner sees them instantly.
Direct communication
Message learners and DriveSQ management from the portal.
