Driving schools and instructor invitations
How the roles fit together
A driving school administrator manages the school through the Varium admin console. Instructors and pupils use their respective app accounts. An invited instructor must activate their account before the school can assign work to them.
Activate an instructor invitation
- Ask your school to send an invitation to the correct email address.
- On instructor sign-in, choose the invited-instructor activation option.
- Enter the invitation/verification information and choose the required password.
- Complete activation, then sign in as an instructor.
- Ask the administrator to confirm your pupil and lesson assignments.
Administrator workflow
In the admin console, register/verify or sign in using a school administrator account. Use the Students and Instructors pages for records, Schedule for lesson creation/deletion, and Finance for payment statuses and CSV export. Stripe onboarding is also available where the school’s account supports it.
For example, invite a new instructor and wait for activation before assigning a pupil. A pending invitation is not an active teaching account.
Important things to know
The web console and Flutter app are different interfaces. Do not assume all web controls exist on a phone. The console documentation lists no lesson-update endpoint; use the supported scheduling controls instead. Instructors cannot bypass administrator payment restrictions.
Troubleshooting
If an assignment is rejected, check instructor activation and school ownership. If activation fails, verify the code and password requirements; ask the school to check the invitation rather than creating a duplicate independent account.
