Preparation for the Advanced Test is conducted by volunteers in your local IAM Group (ADAM). On completing your purchase online of "Skill for Life", you will receive a Group Directory covering all local IAM Groups for you to contact the one nearest to you (or the most convenient).

Each group organises their "Observed Runs" locally.

You will go on an observed run normally on a 1-1 basis, ADAM rotate observers to give you a range of input. When you are considered test ready you will go out with one of the groups senior Observers and they will make an aseesment to ensure if you are test ready and if so put you forward for your test.

As Observers use their own bikes and own fuel, we ask that you give a £5 donation to your observer towards the cost of petrol. This can be done at the end of each of your observed runs.
