About this course

In this course you run a fictional driving school in a spreadsheet. You turn instructor duty hours, lesson length and travel gaps into whole bookable lessons with INT, measure booked and delivered utilisation and price late cancellations and no-shows. You compare single lessons with 5, 10 and 20-lesson packages, including discount and breakage, and plan how many new learners a month fill the capacity. A same-chance model shows what failed tests mean for extra lessons, then you cost lease and purchased training cars per lesson hour, compare three instructor pay models and find the break-even lessons per month with a seasonal plan.
