"Skill for Life" is the IAM's most popular membership option, giving you (for one payment of 139.00 for car drivers and for motorcycle riders) everything you need to pass your Advanced Driving/Motorcycling Test and become a full Member of the IAM. This price applies from 2nd April 2009.

Put quite simply, we offer the opportunity for car drivers to improve their driving standards, helping to make them safer on the roads.

But that’s not all. Like any positive learning experience, it has many benefits. Being safer is just the start as you'll also gain a greater sense of confidence and driving enjoyment. We are committed to helping make you a better driver.

Underpinning this is the IAM's famous Advanced Driving Test for which we are perhaps best known, but we also offer other driving services such as Special Assessment, or DriveCheck55.

Thousands of drivers take our advanced driver program (Skill for Life) every year. Their feedback is impressive - they find the experience enjoyable, the observing excellent, and often say it was one of the best things they have ever done. Many also go on to receive substantially reduced motor insurance premiums.

Preparation for the car test will be conducted by our qualified observers from the Preston group with regular "observed drives".  Many Observers are flexible with times for observed drives, and this is something that the associate and observer will coordinate between each other.  Typically, you can expect the whole program, from your first assessment to test, to take approximately 12 weeks, with one observed drive a week.  Some people need longer, others go through in a shorter time period. There is some flexibility in this, but please be aware that as all our observers are volunteers they like you have to fit in the observing with their daily lives as you will also.

Motorcycle riders in this area will need to contact 'SLAM' group to access their Advanced Riders program
