Staff roles

Everyone sees exactly what their job needs

Owners get everything. Instructors get teaching tools. Assistants get the switches you turn on — nothing else.

“Switch” means per-person: one assistant can take payments while another only enrolls. Owners flip these anytime — no support ticket.

Customize everything

Every policy is a setting, not a support ticket

Use payments or skip them. Price drives your way. Lock booking on unpaid balances — or don't. If it affects the whole school, you change it yourself and it takes effect immediately.

Online card payments

Stripe or QuickBooks checkout. Turn off to run pay-at-school or employer billing only.

Your choice

Balance lock on booking

Students with an unpaid balance cannot book the next drive until the family pays.

On / Off

Drive pricing

Package prices, single add-on drives, makeups, and observation hours — each priced separately.

Per program

Booking window

How far ahead students can book and how many unfinished lessons they can hold at once.

School-wide notifications

Announcements to everyone in one step, plus automatic reminders on your timing.

Your timing

Accountability

Every change has a name on it

Refunds, price changes, schedule edits, grade changes, permission grants — the audit log records who did what and when. School-wide announcements and automatic reminders are logged the same way, so there is never a mystery about what went out to families.

  • Filter by staff member, action type, or date
  • Sensitive actions — refunds, permission changes — always logged
  • Announcement history shows exactly what every family received

School-wide notifications

One announcement reaches everyone

Snow day, schedule change, new program — write it once and every enrolled family gets it by text and email. The routine messages already send themselves.

You announce

“Classes canceled tonight — roads are icy. Makeups will be scheduled automatically.”

Everyone hears it

184 families reached by SMS and email in under a minute. Delivery is logged per family.

Policy takes over

Tonight's classes flip to makeup status under your window. No follow-up calls needed.

Questions

Admin tools questions answered

What owners ask before moving their school over.

What can school admins control in DriversEdPro?

Everything school-wide: staff roles and permissions, program and drive pricing, payment setup, booking and makeup policies, certificates, branding, and notifications. Settings live in one Administration area and apply across students, instructors, and parents automatically.

Can we use DriversEdPro without online payments?

Yes. Payments are optional. Run Stripe or QuickBooks checkout, record cash and checks at the desk, bill employers outside the platform, or mix approaches. Scheduling, classroom, and records work the same either way.

How do staff permissions work?

Each staff member gets a role with per-feature switches. Instructors see teaching tools only. Office assistants get exactly what you enable — enrollment, payments, scheduling, or view-only access. Owners control it all and can change permissions at any time.

Can we set our own drive and program prices?

Yes. Tuition per program, add-on and makeup drive prices, installment plans, late-cancel and no-show fines, and retake fees are all set by your school. There is no platform-imposed pricing.

How do school-wide notifications work?

Send announcements to the whole school, a program, or a single class in one step. Routine messages — drive reminders, balance notices, open-slot alerts — send themselves on the timing you configure.

Is there a record of staff changes?

Yes. The audit log records refunds, schedule changes, grade edits, permission changes, and other sensitive actions with the staff member and timestamp attached.

Still deciding? Read the staff roles guide in the Help Center.
