The brief

01 · Problem

Driving schools need to coordinate lessons, people, vehicles, payments and licensing progress without losing the next action in disconnected records.

02 · Work delivered

A school management platform, learner portal and customer-facing website designed around the South African licensing journey.

03 · Outcome

A live digital product that schools can evaluate and learners can use to follow the four stages of getting licensed.

What makes it work.

  1. 01

    One board for the whole school

    Lessons, learners, instructors and vehicles sit on a single day board, so a rebooked lesson shows up at a glance.

  2. 02

    Licensing as four clear stages

    The learner portal tracks registration, learner’s licence, driving lessons and driver’s licence, and always names the next step.

  3. 03

    K53 preparation built in

    A study guide and mock tests for the learner’s licence live inside the portal.
