You have already taken the first step by visiting this website. You are now poised, like so many others before you, to make a decision which could change your driving for ever.

This is where the Cornwall Group will help you.

The Group can offer you a free assessment drive. This takes place in your own vehicle at a time convenient to you and will be overseen by an "Observer" member of the Group. You will be asked to undertake a short drive and, afterwards, will receive a full de-briefing and be given the opportunity to ask about the Institute, its Advanced Test and the Cornwall Group.

Alternatively, you could decide to register with the Group for a DriveCheck, cost £25, refundable if you sign on for the “Skill for Life” scheme within 30 days.

If you decide to proceed, you may become an "Associate" member of the Group through the "Skill for Life" scheme. The £139 fee includes membership, a copy of " Pass Your Advanced Driving Test", your test fee and the help and guidance of an observer (perhaps the one who oversaw your assessment drive).What extras are there? Well you will need your car and the cost of the fuel, (and possibly a cup of coffee for your Observer), that's all.

The observer will accompany you on a series of observed drives in your own vehicle at mutually convenient times with the aim of bringing you up to test standard. Each of the observers is a volunteer and all will at one stage have been at the stage you are now so will be very sensitive to your needs.
As volunteers, all the observers ask is that you would kindly consider assisting our publicity by attending our annual awards ceremony. Many good friendships have been formed as a result of the observer/associate arrangements.

Your associate membership also entitles you to attend group meetings the details of which are listed elsewhere on this website.

The next step is simply to contact our secretary Diana Smeath on 01872 242352 or e-mail: diana.smeath@cornwalladvanced.co.uk . You are assured a friendly and helpful response. Our members come from all walks of life but have the common aim of safer driving. We look forward to hearing from you.
