The IAM realised a while ago it needed to look again at how and what is taught. They created a new position of: 'Director of Standards' and ex-police Mark Lewis was appointed last year.
Mark has been very careful to listen and gather views from across the IAM membership (including some regular posters here) and the new embryonic 'standards' are being refined over the next few months. It will result in new guidance to Observers and Examiners and a rewritten IAM book to replace the current: 'Advanced Driving: the essential skills' aka 'How to be a better driver' - and a formal syllabus issued to associates.
