Wigan Group offers the following courses:
This is the name for the Institute of Advanced Motorists examination, preparation for which can be provided by volunteers working at any of the regional Groups (including Wigan Advanced Motorists).
A typical course will run for 8 weeks, starting with an assessment drive and finishing with a practice test.
On all runs you will be accompanied by an Observer who will pass on tips on how to improve your driving skills, beyond the level required to pass the Advanced Test. All types of roads will be covered from busy town centres through winding country roads to dual carriageways and motorways. There are also some manoeuvring skills to be mastered and these will be included in the test.
Your Test at the end of the course will be taken by an IAM Driving Examiner, who holds a Police Advanced Driving Certificate and will be approved as an Examiner by the IAM

All types of roads will be covered from busy town centres through winding country roads to dual carriageways and motorways.
