Driving School Software With Built-In Curriculum

Two modules, available separately or together: 1. School management: scheduling, online booking, payments, automated reminders, e-signatures, student records, and a website builder. 2. Curriculum: 100+ state-specific video lessons, interactive driving simulations, connected homework, and the Parent-Teen Training Guide.

No problem. Zutobi Instructor is modular. You can use scheduling, booking, payments, and reminders without the curriculum. Pick the features your school needs.

You can use our curriculum and learning materials on their own to modernize your classroom without using our management software.

Yes. Zutobi Instructor supports unlimited instructors and multiple school locations from one dashboard. Each location has its own schedule, staff, and student records while you see everything in one admin view.

Yes. Public and private high schools teach in-class driver’s ed with Zutobi Instructor: teachers present ready-made lessons, students study in the connected course at home, and the program integrates with LTI and Clever.

Yes. Students and parents see your instructors’ real-time availability and book their own behind-the-wheel lessons online. This cuts booking phone calls and helps you fill your schedule without manual work.

Yes. Automated reminders text or email students before behind-the-wheel lessons, in-class sessions, road test appointments, and permit deadlines. Parents can receive reminders too. No per-SMS charges.

It's a step-by-step digital guide for parents to use for their at-home practice hours. Parents LOVE it because it makes practice more productive. And for you, it's a premium add-on that makes your school stand out and brings in extra revenue.

Yes. We give your instructors everything they need to run a modern, engaging classroom. They get ready-to-go presentations and video simulations, which keep students engaged and make your school’s training more effective.

You get a clear, real-time view of your business. Track instructor schedules, see student progress, and monitor payments and revenue at a glance. It gives you the essential data needed to run your school more effectively.

Students access Zutobi through a mobile app (iOS and Android), and parents see booked lessons and shared lesson notes in the parent dashboard on the web. For instructors, the admin dashboard runs in a phone’s browser with nothing to install: schedules, student progress, booking notifications, and lesson materials from any device.

Yes. Zutobi Instructor combines CRM features (student records, parent communication, enrollment tracking) with scheduling, booking, and payments. It replaces a separate CRM, scheduling tool, and payment system with one platform.

From $99 per month, which includes your first 12 students, then a one-time fee per new student with volume discounts as you grow; per-instructor plans are available. No setup fees, free migration, no long-term contracts. A 2-week free trial with full platform access follows your demo. See our plans for details.

Yes. Accept credit card payments online, send secure payment links to parents, and see a real-time dashboard of who has paid and who hasn’t. When students book online, payment is collected upfront.

Three ways. Schools sell the curriculum and Parent Guide as premium add-ons, earning up to $60 more per student. Upfront online payments secure cash flow instead of chasing checks. And automated reminders cut no-shows, so instructors spend more of their week teaching paid lessons.

Zutobi Instructor uses Stripe for credit card processing. Payments are linked directly to student profiles and can be collected upfront at booking. Schools can also send secure payment links to parents via SMS or email.

You get a dedicated support person. You and your staff can contact them directly with any questions or if you need help.

All data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit, hosted on Google Cloud Platform (US-based servers). The system is FERPA and COPPA compliant. Access is controlled through role-based permissions (RBAC), and Cloudflare provides DDoS protection.

You can store, send, and collect signatures on state-mandated forms digitally, with FERPA- and COPPA-aligned handling. Records stay audit-ready in each student’s profile.

Driving schools typically choose between general-purpose scheduling tools (Acuity, SimplyBook.me), specialized driving school platforms (DrivingSchoolSoftware.com, Drivers Ed Solutions, Drive Scout), or all-in-one systems that include curriculum (Zutobi Instructor). General tools handle bookings but lack behind-the-wheel scheduling, BTW hour logging, or DMV compliance features. Specialized platforms cover operations but not classroom content. Zutobi Instructor is the only driving school software with a built-in curriculum.
