Syncing your work Calendar and Google Calendar

Sometimes you may wish to view your driveJohnson's Calendar in your Google Calendar. This is possible to do, but it is worth noting that it is only a one-way sync: your driveJohnson's events will show in your Google Calendar, but your Google Calendar events will not show in your driveJohnson's Calendar.

We discourage the use of Google Calendar for your driveJohnson's pupils as it does not allow events to be attached to pupil profiles so they can see it in their app, view notes on events and you cannot assign an event type to them (e.g. Driving Test, Motorway Lesson, Pass Plus etc.).

How to add your driveJohnson's Calendar to Google Calendar

Firstly, open the Instructor Portal in your web browser (Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge etc.).

You may need to login; your username and password are the same as you would use to login to the app on your phone.

From your dashboard, click on the Calendar button. At the top of the calendar page, where the month and year is displayed, click to open the small calendar menu.

At the bottom of the menu, there are three buttons: Resync, Rules and Info. Click the Info button. Scroll down to the bottom of the pop-up and click Share External.

You will now be provided with two links - one is to share with Google and the other is to share with Apple. If you click the box containing the Google link, it will automatically be copied to your clipboard.

In a new tab, open Google Calendar and login, if necessary.

Once you have logged in, click the plus (+) button next to "Other calendars" on the left hand side and choose "From URL" from the menu which appears.

Paste the link to your driveJohnson's Calendar into the box and click "Add calendar".

Your driveJohnson's Calendar will appear in your Google Calendar, though it may take a few minutes for events to appear.
