martine wrote:The plus side is (apart from the tax advantage) being a registed charity makes it clear to the public where you're coming from i.e. not to make money and stops dead all those awkward questions about who's earning what. I'd like to think it makes it easier to get support from other organisations (councils, media etc).

A lot of drivers have heard of the IAM (and a few of RoSPA), but few of them are going to be convinced by a small independent organisation, however good, unless it has links with one of those national bodies, imho.

I know someone who is already a member, say a motorcyclist, can apply for just a car test, and someone who fails their test can apply for just a test, but can someone who joins a group and does all their training then decide to apply to the IAM for just a test?

Yes.
Didn't buy SfL, didn't come through the group. Just paid to take the test.
