Price: £48 (test)
Duration: Two hours (test)

Run by the RAC’s driver training arm, this advanced course is made up of three parts. Firstly, you’ll get an assessment session with an instructor. This takes two hours, costs £48 and highlights where you’re going wrong.

Next, ‘development sessions’ are needed, each lasting an hour and costing £25 – budget for about six hours. You will be taught about risks and spotting hazards.

The test comprises a vehicle and eyesight check, plus a road session. Grades are silver, gold and platinum, and to hold on to their qualification, platinum drivers must resit the test every three years; gold and silver retakes are required every two years.
