I'm involved with the IAM but in Gloucestershire so cannot be of direct help to you.
Your local IAM group may not be operating as current Covid restrictions do not allow 2 persons in a car.
Suggest you look at the IAM web-site for more information & contact details for your local group.

I did the IAM on my motorbike and it was the best thing I did for my riding. Highly recommend that or Rospa. It’ll make a noticeable difference. Little tricks like looking for drivers, lights or exhaust fumes of parked cars you’re passing to let you know if you need to consider if they might open a door or pull out on you, and that’s just one of the many signals your looking out for on any given meter of road.
Driving down a country road? Can you see the top of the hedge, the trees or power lines which tell you where the road is going, and can you see tractors, horse riders or anything else that might signal hidden dangers around a bend.
Well worth it!

The IAM Roadsmart course costs £149. This includes the driving manual (based on the police Roadcraft), as many drives as you need to reach test standard & the test itself.
Many local groups have schemes to lower the cost for younger drivers - it's free wit'my' group.

I did the pass plus and got quite a bit out of it, a good discount on my insurance too.
I've done IAM for bikes, I was going to do it quite soon after getting my license but they recommended leaving it a year just to get used to the operation of the controls etc then the IAM course will be able to polish the technique.
