Questions & answers

Is there driving instructor software made for BC?

Short answer: yes — and here's how copilotBC handles the things BC instructors actually ask about.

Is there driving instructor software made for BC?

Yes — copilotBC is built specifically for British Columbia driving instructors. Booking, a digital pre-trip checklist based on the BC driving curriculum, per-student readiness scoring, and lesson reports structured around ICBC's published assessment criteria, all in one app — with records stored in Canada.

Does anything track ICBC GLP progress or competencies?

copilotBC gives each student a readiness score across the skills that matter for the BC road test — vehicle control, city driving, highway merging, parking, signals and more — so students and parents see progress over time instead of a single blunt grade. The checklist follows the BC driving curriculum, and you can reorder it or add your own checks.

Can it export ICBC forms?

copilotBC produces reports and printouts based on official ICBC and BC government formats. It's independent and not endorsed by ICBC, and official forms can change before we update ours — so confirm each export against the current official version before relying on it. No software submits directly to ICBC; there's no third-party submission channel. See our Compliance page.

Can students book lessons and pay through the app?

Yes. Students can request or book against your availability, and pay per lesson through Stripe — charges reconcile against your schedule and roll into your earnings totals. You can also send a custom bill and track paid or unpaid at a glance. See pricing.

Does it work offline?

Yes — copilotBC is offline-first. The pre-trip checklist, lesson notes and reports work without signal, and everything syncs automatically the moment you're back online.

Where is my student data stored?

In Google Cloud's Toronto region, in Canada — encrypted at rest and in transit, with server-enforced access isolation and a tamper-evident audit trail. Relevant under BC's Personal Information Protection Act. More on security.

Do I need to install it from an app store?

No. copilotBC installs straight from the browser onto iPhone and Android as a progressive web app — no app store, no app-store fee. Open app.copilotbc.ca and add it to your home screen.

Is copilotBC affiliated with ICBC?

No. copilotBC is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by ICBC. Reports are based on official ICBC and BC government formats, but they are not official ICBC documents.
