Advanced Driving Courses with Carmarthen and West Wales Advanced Motorists
At Carmarthen and West Wales Advanced Motorists, we offer expert-led advanced driving courses tailored to all experience levels — whether you’re a newly qualified driver or an experienced road user looking to refine your skills.
Our goal is to help drivers across Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and southern Ceredigion become safer, more confident, and more skilful behind the wheel.
What the Course Involves
As part of your IAM RoadSmart training, you’ll be paired with one of our highly trained Observers, each of whom is a qualified Advanced Driver with additional certification from the Institute of Advanced Motorists.
Sessions are flexible and arranged at a time and place that works for both you and your Observer
Over the course of 6 to 12 observed drives, you’ll work one-to-one with your Observer to build your skills using the recognised IPSGA system (Information, Position, Speed, Gear, Acceleration). You’ll apply these principles across real-life road scenarios including rural roads, motorways, and overtaking manoeuvres.
The Road to Your Advanced Driving Test
Once you and your Observer agree you’re ready, you’ll be entered for the official IAM RoadSmart Advanced Driving Test, assessed by a qualified examiner. A successful pass earns you the status of IAM RoadSmart Member and recognition as a nationally certified Advanced Driver.
As part of Carmarthen and West Wales Advanced Motorists, you’ll benefit from:
- Local support from a friendly, experienced group
- Coaching from qualified Observers across West Wales
- Flexible, real-world training routes in your own vehicle
- Access to group events, newsletters, and a supportive community
