Common ground
What both describe.
- Diary, pupil/lesson information and progress records.
- School team access and work for trainee instructors.
Miles & Minutes features are available to authorised accounts according to role and settings; this is not a public signup offer.
Miles & Minutes approach
Keep the details of your teaching day connected.
See booked lessons alongside blocked time and available teaching capacity, with pupil progress and recorded payments close by. If you work with a school or trainer, the relevant people can use their own permitted view.
Miles & Minutes separates open capacity, blocked time and confirmed Lessons, and retains reasoned record corrections. Its provider Academy, Trainer and trainee work and private ADI/Trainer development have distinct permissions. MyDriveTime’s public pages do not establish whether it has equivalent provider and private development workflows.
