Allison Driver Academy was founded by Dave Allison to give both learners and instructors a complete, connected system — making every lesson, booking, and business decision as smooth as possible.
Dave Allison founded Allison Driver Academy because he understood that learning to drive — and teaching others to drive — deserved better than outdated paperwork, fragmented communication, and clunky booking systems.
He set out to build a platform that combines the very best technology with the warmth and professionalism that every learner and instructor deserves. The result is a complete, connected ecosystem — one that handles bookings, payments, progress tracking, and communication seamlessly, so learners can focus on developing their skills and instructors can focus on what they do best.
We designed our learner experience from the ground up with one priority in mind: making it as easy and stress-free as possible. Through our beautifully intuitive learner portal you can:
Pick your instructor, choose a slot, confirm — done. No phone calls, no waiting.
Watch your skills develop lesson by lesson with a clear progress tracker built into your portal.
Stay in touch with your instructor through the portal — no need to swap numbers.
We believe great instructors deserve great support. Every instructor at Allison Driver Academy gets access to industry-leading technology to manage and grow their business efficiently — backed by the full support of the team.
Allison Driver Academy is always looking to expand our reach and our ability to service more learners further afield. As demand grows across Scotland and beyond, we are actively looking for talented, passionate people to join our instructor team.
