The IAM or RoSPA Advanced Test gives a thorough workout of driving ability, allowing you to alter your drive according to the conditions and environment of the road.  You’ll work on all types of road — from quiet country roads, motorways to busy town centres.  In each case there are hazards and situations that need to be avoided and taken care of using the methods and techniques that advanced driving gives.  There may be situations where the you can show flair and panache (a bit of Sparkle) on an open country road where optimum progress can be gained at maximum safety, using optimum road positioning and excellent observation — well beyond that which is required to pass the DSA driving test

All this combines to give a brisk smooth drive, at the legal limit on the open road.  In other situations, you will need to show restraint and composure to deal with tricky hazards that may become apparent throughout the drive.  Such as in a town centre situation, where observation is used to pick out hazards in situations that are constantly changing.  The main objective is that you have to perform well in all situations rather than excel in one.

The IAM and RoSPA tests are quite similar.  However, the RoSPA test is graded (Bronze, Silver or Gold).  The IAM pass level equates roughly to the RoSPA Silver.  As a Diploma holder, I am rechecked every 3 years — and have to demonstrate a drive at the Gold standard.  Would you really want an instructor who couldn't meet that standard?  Yet, amazingly few ADI’s attain that level!

Please note:  I don’t insist you take an Advanced test.  Many people don’t want to take it and that’s OK.  If you’ve reached the standard, that’s good enough!

Prices for Advanced lessons are:      

£35.00 per hour (my car) 

£30.00 per hour (your car)

(minimum 2 hours per session) - an already good driver should be able to achieve Advanced Test standard in less than 6 lessons and may then qualify for insurance discounts.
