What is involved in the IAM Advanced Test?
An IAM examiner conducts the test in your own car. The test will last about 90 minutes and will cover a variety of road types over approximately 45 miles. You are expected to drive to the standard described in the Advanced Driving Manual
How do I go about preparing for the Test?
Training is provided by local groups of the IAM. An application to join Glasgow South may be obtained by contacting Linda Webster on 0141 571 0851
How long will the training take?
During an observed (training) run the associate drives their own car while receiving coaching from a group observer on a particular aspect of the test. A group observer is someone who has passed the test and has undergone further tuition in coaching, to IAM standards.
