The driver's record

The driver’s record follows the DVSA syllabus. It is built from the lessons you mark as taught, so it fills itself if you record every lesson.

Every time you mark a lesson as taught, the topics you scored go into the learner’s record. The record shows, for each of the twelve topics:

  • the current score, as a bar of five,
  • how many times you have covered it.

A topic you have never scored reads “Not covered yet”.

  • Learners > the learner > Driver’s record, for your view.
  • The learner sees the same scores on their own Progress screen.
What you write Who sees it
Topic scores You and the learner
For the learner You and the learner
Private notes You only
Your notes on their record You only

Write the learner’s summary as if they will read it, because they will.

The record is the fastest way to plan a lesson. Look for the low bars and the topics with no score. A learner near test standard should have few gaps and few low scores.
