As per other posts about advanced training....there is also RoSPA. Observed rides and suggestions for where you can improve are based on Motorcycle Roadcraft. Nothing to choose between them and IAM Both well worth doing as it has benefits beyond being a safer rider. Driving well puts less stress on you, less on your vehicleand will usually be more economic!
With RoSPA you have to do a 're-test' every three years and I find that keeps me on my toes as there is always a tendancy to allow bad habits to creep back.
Any advanced training you can do and then maintaining your higher standard is a good thing...same is true for other vehicles too.
People will often say you can get an insurance discount by having an advanced pass...I've never found that with my car or my motorbike (I've had RoSPA Gold on both for many years). Strangely I did the motorbike one after my car even though I used to instruct on motorbikes.
