Keep the record truthful.
A correction should explain a change while preserving what was recorded before. That matters when a pupil balance, Lesson or school decision needs explaining later.
Why Miles & Minutes
Teaching is only part of the working day.
Driving instruction is a teaching job wrapped in a small business. Miles & Minutes exists to make the work around each Lesson feel connected and understandable.
Current product access is controlled. Features depend on your role and account settings.
The whole working day
A Lesson carries more than its time in the diary.
There is a pupil to prepare for, a place to meet, progress to remember and feedback to share. Around that sit recurring work, cancellations, requests, payments, Account Credit and the office decisions that keep a school moving.
Training providers have another layer: trainee, Trainer and Academy work must stay connected without treating attendance as qualification or a proposed appointment as a booking. An instructor’s own professional development deserves a private space too.
Miles & Minutes brings these records into one working system, while keeping their meanings clear. Start with the Diary, follow a pupil’s progress, and see how recorded money relates to the work.
Product principles
Keep the important distinctions visible.
Know what is booked.
Available time is different from a confirmed Lesson. A pupil request starts a conversation; it does not silently reserve the diary. See requests and availability.
Connect the work.
The diary tells you when; the pupil record tells you what came before; the money record explains what was received and used. Moving between them should carry the context rather than asking you to reconstruct it.
Grow without losing control.
An independent instructor can work with their own pupils. A school team can coordinate assignments and office work with access shaped by responsibility. Wider visibility is deliberate, not a consequence of adding another login.
Make the software calm.
A useful interface makes the current state and next decision understandable. Booked, pending, published and recorded should mean something clear, especially when checking a phone between Lessons.
Keep human decisions human.
Progress records and private Standards self-review support reflection. They do not decide test readiness, qualification or teaching authority. Explore training work.
Calm software
A clear next step, even on a busy day.
The responsive web interface puts the current task first, shows the result of an action and keeps related context close. It is designed for a phone between Lessons and a larger screen back at the office.
Explore the public roadmap for what is available to authorised accounts and what remains exploratory. Our software comparison also sets out where Miles & Minutes has gaps today.
What built differently means in practice
The distinction should survive a busy day.
If a pupil asks for Thursday instead of Tuesday, a request records the preference. Tuesday’s Lesson stays booked until an authorised change succeeds. That distinction helps both people know what is actually agreed.
If a bank-transfer amount was recorded incorrectly, a reasoned correction keeps the original record and explains the change. The history should remain understandable when someone asks about the balance later.
If a school reassigns a pupil, the current responsibility changes while earlier Lessons retain the Instructor who taught them. If a trainee attends training, attendance remains evidence of that activity; it does not award qualification or permission to teach.
These are choices about record meaning and responsibility. They are not claims that another product cannot do the same. Our software comparison describes other options and our current gaps openly.
Room to reflect
Your own development deserves its own space.
Private GB ADI and Trainer development records support objectives, reflections and manual CPD. An activity relevant to both practices counts once overall. Corrections retain their saved history.
This personal record is separate from provider-owned training evidence. Qualitative Standards self-review supports reflection; it does not predict an official result. The illustration uses fictional data and shows that separation in ordinary working terms.
Connected does not mean every task is automated. The Instructor chooses how to teach, the school controls responsibilities, and authorised people make the relevant decisions.
Questions answered
The approach, and its limits.
Find answers to common questions about this part of your working day.
Does connected mean everything happens automatically?
No. Records and workflows are connected, but requests, confirmation, money received and human teaching decisions remain distinct. The authorised person still makes the relevant decision.
Is Miles & Minutes only for independent instructors?
No. The controlled product also supports school office roles and provider training work, with different access and responsibilities. No unlimited-scale or universal-access promise is made.
Does it assess readiness or decide qualification?
No. Progress, mock feedback and qualitative personal self-review support conversations and reflection. They do not predict an official result, award qualification or grant teaching authority.
Does this philosophy mean the product has every feature already?
No. Access is controlled and current limitations are stated in the comparison. Native apps and public lesson booking are not available today, and pupil card payments are not currently enabled. Exploring ideas on the roadmap are not commitments.
