Skill for Life

This is IAM's most popular membership option, giving you - in one payment - everything that you need to pass your Advanced Driving Test and become a full Member of the IAM. The package includes:

The IAM book "How to be a better driver"

"Advanced Driving" the IAM's tri - annual Members magazine.

An initial assessment (carried out by the Group)

All Test preparation work (undertaken by the Group)

Entry into the Advanced Driving Test.

IAM Associate status, with an automatic upgrade to full Membership of the IAM (on passing the Advanced Driving Test within 12 months)

Access to the "Members" area of the IAM Website ( with details of Member's Events, Membership Services and Special Offers )

Preparation for the Advanced Driving Test is conducted by volunteers in your local IAM Group. On completing your purchase of the "Skill for Life" package, the Associate should contact the Group via this Website. The candidate is allocated an Observer who will prepare the candidate for the Test. Most people reach "Test standard " after 6-8 weeks observed runs (typically a fortnight apart), so you could be "Test ready" in 12-16 weeks.

We have assisted a number of Driving Instructors to pass the IAM Test. Many have said that they learn much from us that is not included in the DSA Driving Test. When one considers that the cost of the Advanced Driving Test is included in the package then we are told that with the total cost of the package of £139, many consider it to be good value for money. Your Observed Runs with our Observers are FREE.
