Fahrtrack

Fahrtrack is driving-school software for instructors who want lesson documentation, exam-readiness tracking, learner progress sharing, and account records in one system. It is best suited to schools teaching cars or motorcycles that can add existing learners manually.

Overview

Fahrtrack connects instruction records with readiness assessments and learner accounts. Signed lessons are locked, and completed lessons trigger a charge in the learner’s account. That gives schools a consistent record of teaching and payments, rather than making them maintain those details separately.

The clearest drawback is onboarding: schools must add existing learners manually, though they can enter each learner’s current training status. That may be an obstacle for schools moving a large roster and its history into a new system.

Key features

Lesson records and readiness

The digital training diagram card documents lessons, and training records can be exported as PDFs with digital signatures. Once a lesson is signed and completed, it is locked. This protects the record from later edits, but schools should be comfortable finalizing lessons at signing.

Fahrtrack calculates exam readiness from assessment history and shows outstanding basic exercises and special drives. This makes it easier to see what remains before an exam, while keeping readiness tied to recorded assessments. Car classes B and BE and motorcycle classes A, A1, and A2 are fully supported. Truck classes C, C1, and CE are in beta, and bus class D is planned, so schools focused on truck or bus instruction should look elsewhere for established class support.

Learner access and school administration

Each learner can check progress, readiness, and assessments through an individual link without signing in. Schools can share those links by WhatsApp, SMS, or email, a straightforward way to keep learners informed without requiring them to create an account. Instructors can be invited without a seat charge, and the school can share a common credit balance.

Accounts, exports, and mobile use

A learner account tracks charges and payments, with lesson charges recorded automatically after a signed lesson is completed. Training records, progress, and financial data can be exported as PDF or CSV, giving schools portable records across the main parts of the workflow.

The responsive web app can be installed on a phone’s home screen as a PWA and is described as usable offline. Fahrtrack also supports Google sign-in. It says data is encrypted in Google Firebase cloud storage hosted in Frankfurt, Germany, and makes an AVV available for driving schools.

Pricing

Fahrtrack has a free plan and one-time student-credit purchases. The free plan is €0.00 per free and covers 1 student, despite the separate 10-student limit associated with the entry. That makes it a small-scale way to start, not an indication of unlimited free learner records.

• 10 Schüler-Credits: €49.00 per once for 10 new students.
• 25 Schüler-Credits: €109.00 per once for 25 new students.
• 50 Schüler-Credits: €199.00 per once for 50 new students.
• 100 Schüler-Credits: €349.00 per once for 100 new students.

Credits do not expire, so schools can buy capacity without a recurring subscription term. The paid plans differ by the number of new students they cover; instructors remain unlimited and free on all plans. A free trial is available. Schools with more than 1,000 students or special requirements can request custom pricing by email.

Platforms

Fahrtrack supports Android, iOS, and web. Its mobile access is through the installable responsive web app rather than a dedicated mobile app, which suits schools happy to use a browser-based tool but may not fit those seeking a native app.

Who it's for

Fahrtrack is a sensible fit for small and mid-sized driving schools teaching supported car or motorcycle classes, especially those that want signed lesson records, readiness tracking, and simple learner access together. Schools with a large existing roster should account for manual entry, and schools teaching truck or bus classes should weigh the incomplete support.

Pros and cons

• Joined-up records: Signed lessons, readiness assessments, and learner charges sit in the same workflow.
• Learners can follow progress without signing in: Individual links make assessments and readiness visible without account setup.
• Useful portable records: PDF and CSV exports cover training, progress, and financial data.
• Manual onboarding: Existing learners must be entered individually, which adds work when switching systems.
• Credits are finite: Each paid purchase covers a set number of new students, so schools must buy more as they grow.
• Uneven class support: Truck classes are in beta and bus class D is planned rather than fully supported.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, see Driver Education Software. En Voiture Simone is a better fit for learners seeking free online theory-code training, with unlimited access and no ads. MyDriveTime suits schools looking for a free-until-qualified option with unlimited access to its features and one-to-one advice.

Stych is another option for theory-code study, with a free plan offering video courses, an online manual, questions, and mock exams. Driving Instructor Manager is worth considering for instructors who want a free product on Android or iOS. directio offers a web-based free plan with unlimited students, enrollments, instructors, and vehicles, though it charges 2.5% per payment, capped at $15 per student.

Ornikar, CyberActive, and DrivingSchoolSoftware.com are alternatives to consider; the latter is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows.

Verdict

Choose Fahrtrack if your school teaches its fully supported car or motorcycle classes and wants lesson records, readiness, learner access, and finances connected without a recurring subscription. The one-time credits and free instructor access are practical advantages; manual learner entry and limited truck and bus support are the main reasons to choose another system.
