Driving School — Driving school management and lesson scheduling software

Context

Driving School is a web-based management application for driving schools, designed to organise driving lessons, manage students and centralise appointment scheduling.

The project was carried out as part of an academic project aimed at designing a complete business application with user management, scheduling and business logic.

The goal was to create a tool capable of replacing manual schedule organisation and providing a clear view of available driving hours for each student.

Problem

Driving schools have to manage on a daily basis:

• enrolled students
• available instructors
• remaining driving hours
• appointment scheduling.

When this information is managed manually or across several tools, it can lead to:

• scheduling errors
• timetable conflicts
• difficulty tracking remaining driving hours.

Administrative teams need a centralised system to organise lessons effectively and track student progress.

Solution

Driving School offers a web application that allows driving school staff to schedule and manage driving lessons from a central calendar.

Slots are created by staff (administrators, secretaries or instructors) by linking a student, an instructor and a time slot.

The system automatically checks that the student still has enough driving hours available before allowing a slot to be created.

Each appointment automatically updates the count of driving hours completed.

The application also includes an authentication system with different user roles to restrict access to features according to profile.

Key features

• user account management with roles (admin, secretary, instructor, student)
• creation and management of students and staff
• lesson scheduling via an interactive calendar
• linking appointments to student and instructor
• automatic checking of remaining driving hours
• tracking of hours completed and remaining per student
• editing and moving slots by drag-and-drop
• user account and profile management
• automatic emails (account creation and password reset).

Students have access to view their schedule and remaining driving hours.

Results

This project demonstrates the design of a complete business application with user management, scheduling and sector-specific business logic.

It illustrates the implementation of:

• an authentication system with roles
• business logic for scheduling
• a clear management interface for administrative teams.
