Your own study app, with your course inside it.

Your students learn on their phones, from your book, under your name and your colours. Your questions stay exactly as you wrote them, and every rule shows the page it came from. Nothing is invented.

Send one chapter

One chapter, about fifteen pages, converted at no charge and back within five working days. A person writes to tell you where to send it. Nothing automatic happens: no newsletter, no sequence of follow-up emails, and no sales call unless you ask for one.

We will not generate a question we cannot point at a page for.

4.2 Priority at unmarked intersections

At an intersection where priority is not regulated by signs or signals, the driver shall yield to the vehicle approaching from the right.

The provisions of this section apply to every intersection at which priority is not otherwise regulated by signs, signals or the directions of an authorised person.

Where the intersection is controlled by a stop line, the driver shall bring the vehicle to a complete standstill before that line and shall not proceed until able to do so without obstruction.

A driver turning left shall give way to oncoming traffic proceeding straight ahead or turning right, unless otherwise directed by an authorised person.

You reach an unmarked crossroads at the same moment as a car on your right.

Question 3 of 20 · from your own bank

Fig. 2 — the lesson
Your book, and what your student opens. The same sentence, the same page number, on a screen they already carry — and the dotted line between them is the citation.

Why now

Your students are going to learn the theory from an app. It may as well be yours.

On 4 May 2026 the German transport ministry circulated a draft regulation on driving-school training. Most of it is administrative. One paragraph is not.

Under § 3, the format a student uses to learn the theory becomes the student’s own decision. The fourth paragraph then says a school may offer theory lessons in the room, or online, or in both, or not at all — and adds that there is no obligation to offer any of them. Read it twice. Attendance stops being your business.

Now read the ministry’s own arithmetic, which is the part nobody quotes. To work out what the reform saves, the draft assumes the theory content moves into the licence-learning apps students already have on their phones. It then puts the theory training a student currently buys from a driving school at 556 euros a head, and books that figure as money the student no longer has to spend. It is the same 556 euros either way. Not to you.

Two things we will not do with that. We are not going to tell you it has passed, because it has not. And we are not going to pretend the profession agrees with it: the Bundesvereinigung der Fahrlehrerverbände wrote back on 11 May asking for the teaching requirement to be kept, and its central objection is that self-study leaves nobody checking whether a student is learning from material that matches the syllabus at all. We think they are right about that. It also happens to describe the hole your own book fills.

Both documents are public. Go and read them. Neither of them is us.

Fig. 3 — the clause itself

“Der Erwerb des für die Erteilung der Fahrerlaubnis erforderlichen theoretischen Wissens (theoretischer Wissenserwerb) obliegt hinsichtlich des Lernformats der eigenverantwortlichen Entscheidung des Fahrschülers.”

Referentenentwurf FahrschAusbVO · 04.05.2026 · § 3 Abs. 1

The learning format for acquiring the theory needed for a licence is the student’s own responsible decision.

Our translation. The German is the ministry’s.

The operative sentence, in the original, with the reference underneath it — set exactly the way the product sets a quotation from your own book.

We are not selling you a way to comply with anything. Nothing here is compulsory and nothing here has passed. The point is smaller and harder to argue with: the day your students get to choose, you want to be one of the choices.

What makes it yours

Your questions stay word for word. Every rule shows its page.

This is the whole product, and everything else follows from it. Your past papers go in as you wrote them — not paraphrased, not tidied up, not modernised, not regenerated — because the archive in your filing cabinet is the reason your course is worth paying for, and improving it would destroy the thing you are selling.
  1. 1

    Your questions, as you wrote them

    Your past papers, kept exactly. The system records where every question came from, and a question taken from your material is marked as taken from your material. If a question cannot be traced back to something you sent us, it does not get to pretend it can.
  2. 2

    A page reference under every claim

    Every statement in a lesson carries the page it came from, and the quote is matched against your book. Where that match has not been made, the lesson says so on the citation itself, in front of the student — an unchecked reference never gets to look like a checked one. So you do not have to trust us sentence by sentence. You can check us against the copy on your desk.
  3. 3

    A label on anything a machine wrote

    Four states, and your students see all four: taken from your material, written by a machine from your material, written by a machine with no source, written by a person. The label sits on the paragraph, not in a settings page nobody opens.
  4. 4

    A person reads it before you do

    The reading of your book and the page matching are done by machine. Then somebody sits down and reads the result before it reaches you. That is slower. It is also most of what you are paying for, and it is the reason the free tools are free.
Fig. 4 — a citation

“The driver shall yield to the vehicle approaching from the right.”

Question 3 of 20 · from your own bank · unaltered

Word for word from a past paper, and marked as taken rather than written.
Fig. 6 — one that has not been checked

Citation not yet verified

Page 47 · quote not matched to the source · unverified

The state nobody else shows you. A reference whose quote has not been matched back to your book says so, on itself, where the student reads it.

Before you talk to us, go and try a free one.

There are tools that will turn a PDF into a course for nothing, and you should run a chapter through one. We mean that. Then do two things with what comes back.

Find your own exam questions in it and see whether they still say what you wrote. Then pick three rules and look the page numbers up against your own copy.

That is the entire difference between us and a free tool, and you can establish it in twenty minutes without spending anything or talking to anybody. If the free one passes both checks, use the free one. We would.

Or send us the chapter and judge ours the same way.

Before you choose anyone

We have no customers yet, so we are not going to show you any.

No logos and no testimonials. No “trusted by forty schools” either — we could put some up this afternoon and you would have no way of checking a single one. We are not going to quote you a pass rate either: one pilot cannot support a number like that, and in a business where you answer to a regulator, an unsupported claim about results is worse than no claim at all. Here is what we can do instead.
  1. 01

    Show me one converted chapter of my own material, before I pay anything.

  2. 02

    Point at the page every claim came from, and let me check three of them against my own copy.

  3. 03

    Show me my own exam questions in your system and prove they are word for word.

  4. 04

    Tell me what happens to my course on the day I stop paying you.

  5. 05

    Tell me who reads the output before I do, and what they check.

  6. 06

    Tell me what you will not do.

Two of those are harder to answer than the other four, and a page that hands out six questions and then dodges two of them has done itself real damage. Our answers to “what if you disappear” and “what does it cost” are on the about page, in full and without softening.

Your students

Your name at the top. Your students never find out we exist.

Your colours and your school’s name on every screen. There is nothing in it that names a supplier, because there is nothing in it we would want to sell them.

Your students, on their own phones, in your course.

Your name at the top
Your colours and your school’s name on every screen. There is nothing anywhere in it that names a supplier. (A logo is on the list and is not built yet — it is stored, and nothing draws it.)
Nothing to install
It opens in the browser they already have. No app store, no download, no update to miss.
They do sign in
We are not going to tell you there is no account, because there is one. What there is not is a shop: they arrive through a link from you, under your name, and they are never asked to pay us for anything or told whose software this is.
You decide who gets in
You add a student, or you send them a link. There is no public sign-up page, so nobody ends up in your course who was not meant to be there.
Nothing is sold to them
We will never sell your students anything — not a subscription, not an upgrade, not a course of our own. We do not have a course of our own. That is the point.

We are not going to promise you that every student will use it. We have no data, and we are not going to invent some.

The second year

You send the new edition. Only what changed gets rebuilt.

A regulation moves. The usual choice at that moment is between paying to have the whole thing rebuilt and quietly teaching last year’s rules for another eighteen months. Both are bad.
  1. 01

    You send the new edition

    The same way you sent the first one. What the reader takes today is a PDF — typed or scanned, it does not matter. If what you have is a folder of Word files or photographs of pages, send those and we will turn them into one before anything else happens. That is our work, not yours, and we will tell you what we did to them.
  2. 02

    We work out what actually moved

    Not "the book changed" — which paragraphs changed, and therefore which lessons and which questions are now wrong. A new foreword that pushes every page number down by two is not a change, and it will not be treated as one.
  3. 03

    Only the affected parts are rebuilt

    Everything else is left exactly as it was, including anything one of your own people wrote by hand. Human edits are never overwritten. They are flagged for somebody to look at, which is a different thing.
  4. 04

    You approve it before your students see it

    A published course does not change under a student sitting an exam. The new version goes live when you say so, and the old one is kept.

This is the part that decides whether an online course is worth having at all. When a regulation moves, the usual choice is between paying to have the whole thing rebuilt and quietly teaching last year’s rules for another eighteen months. You have probably done the second one.

Who this is for

Providers whose material is already the hard part

If your students pass because of what you teach rather than because attendance was compulsory, this was built for you. If your material is thin, we cannot fix that — we do not write courses.

  • Driving schools

    Theory, road signs, hazard perception, and your own past papers.

  • Maritime and boating

    Navigation rules, buoyage, safety at sea, certificate preparation.

  • Food handling and hygiene

    HACCP, allergen law, temperature control, whatever your local authority asks for.

  • Trade and safety licensing

    Electrical, gas, working at height, plant operation.

  • Commercial transport

    Regulations, endorsements, hours of service, pre-trip inspection.

  • Anyone who publishes a syllabus

    If you wrote the material and there is a pass mark at the end, the shape of the problem is the same.

There is a longer and less flattering version of this, naming the providers we would turn away and why — who this is wrong for

Plainly

What we will not do.

  • We are not a course platform you rent and fill in yourself. Those exist. They cost about fifty euros a month, and when you have paid for one the work is still sitting on your desk.
  • We do not write your course. We have no syllabus of our own to sell you.
  • We will not generate a question we cannot point at a page for.
  • We will not improve your questions. They go in as you wrote them, or they do not go in.
  • We are not a study app with content of its own. Ours is empty until your material is in it, and that is the point of it.
  • We will not convert material you do not hold the rights to. We ask first, and we will say no.
  • We will not publish anything to your students without you approving it.
  • We have no customers yet, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

Send one chapter.

Not a demo of somebody else’s course. A chapter of yours, converted properly, so you can look at your own questions and your own page numbers and decide whether it is any good. Pick the chapter you know best. If it is no good, you have lost an email.

We will ask who owns the copyright before we convert anything. If you do not hold the rights to the material, we will say so rather than take the work.
