Features
Read full description

This application is designed for driving school instructors to manage scheduled classes and track student details. Upon launching the app, users must first ensure a stable internet connection before logging in with their credentials. The initial screen displays the dashboard, from which instructors can navigate to the "Class" page to view scheduled classes synced from the student app. By selecting a specific date on the calendar, the associated classes are listed below. Instructors can then choose a vehicle and access student details by clicking below the calendar. From there, the app navigates to the tracking page, displaying the instructor’s current location, the student’s pickup location, and the drop-off location. Instructors can update the status of the session by marking when they’ve started, picked up the student, arrived at the location, start the class, and ended the class. Upon class completion, the app prompts for an OTP, which is sent to the student app for verification after verification the class ended.
