Holding Project is Germany’s leading digital driving education platform, transforming how people learn to drive through a fully online and app-supported experience. The mission is to streamline and modernize the entire driving school process - making it more transparent, efficient, and accessible for students, while equipping instructors with tools that simplify their daily operations.

While the team brings a high level of expertise, there’s a strong culture of continuous learning and mutual growth - everyone contributes, and everyone evolves.

Part-time long term involvement.

The project focuses on building an end-to-end solution that digitalizes every step of the learning-to-drive journey. This includes a seamless experience for students - from registration to exam prep - and a dedicated app for instructors to manage lessons, schedules, and student progress efficiently.

The platform is built with scalability, usability, and compliance in mind, supporting thousands of users across multiple locations. It blends web and mobile applications, backend services, and integrations with external systems such as local driving authorities.

While the project is developed by a fully remote, cross-functional team based throughout Europe.
