Membership Renewal

Your journey starts here

Through our Advanced Courses, you’ll first join IAM RoadSmart as an Associate. Once you complete your test (or if you join us via Membership by Exemption or a business course), you’ll then join us as a full member.

Membership is renewed annually, and your first year is covered in the purchase price of an Advanced Course. After that, full membership is just £47 per year with direct debit.

How to become an IAM RoadSmart member

Advanced
Courses

Our most popular route to membership. Over a series of observed drives or rides, you'll develop your skills with a local expert that enable you to pass our advanced test and become a IAM RoadSmart member.

Test and Membership

For both car and bike, if you already have advanced knowledge from another training provider, or are self-taught with a full understanding of RoadCraft, you can go straight to our test.

Member by Exemption

IAM RoadSmart recognises a wide range of professional driving and riding qualifications. Simply pay an annual fee to access all the benefits and opportunities of membership.

Business
Drivers

If you're a business driver, your training at work may already be accredited by us, and can include membership. Ask your employer today or find out more about the business courses we offer.

Member benefits

In addition to improving your driving and riding skills, becoming an IAM RoadSmart member opens up a host of exclusive benefits which include:

A subscription to our magazine, packed with driving and riding inspiration, interviews, news and more
Use of MIAM/FIAM/MMIAM (Member/Fellow/Master member of the Institute of Advanced Motorists) after your name
The chance to join your local group for social activities with like-minded individuals
Access to competitive insurance quotes with our partner, Cornmarket

Challenge yourself

When you join IAM RoadSmart as a member, you'll have the opportunity to push yourself to three distinct levels of recognition. Each level has been designed to further enhance your driving and riding skills, starting with a F1RST and finishing with a MASTERS Distinction:

F1RST

F1RST is attained by taking the advanced test for car, motorcycle or commercial vehicle and scoring 1 in nearly every category. Existing IAM RoadSmart members may also take a Member's Assessment in order to try and achieve a F1RST.

MASTERS

Take the ultimate challenge by becoming a Master Driver or Rider. Open to all full IAM members, our Masters programme provides true one-to-one mentoring to help you to attain the highest standard of civilian driving or riding ability in the country.
