Our Master Driver's Course is designed to bring out the best in your driving, and is the approved route for entry to the prestigious High Performance Club. If you successfully complete the course you will be recommended for membership. Membership allows you to take advantage of the Club's insurance scheme and their superb, members-only driving events which are dedicated to furthering your skills, with a friendly group of like-minded individuals. You don't need a high performance car to belong to the Club. It's all about High Performance thinking and attitude

The Course lasts for 2½ days. The first half-day is an assessment drive to see whether you have the attitude and aptitude to go further. If you're not quite there, then further training will be recommended - we don't want you to waste your money taking the course before we think you can complete it.

The first day of the course (normally taken a short while after the initial assessment drive) is a road driving day including a session at Millbrook Proving Ground. The second day includes a session of practical car control exercises on Lincolnshire Police's skid pan. You will also have a period driving one of our high performance rear-wheel-drive cars to show that your new driving skills can be adapted to unfamiliar roads and vehicles. The aim of the course is to allow candidates to develop:

• A systematic and planned approach to their driving
• The ability to be in complete control of their safety at all times
• Excellent situation awareness and observation – verified by giving a short commentary drive during the second day
• A courteous attitude to all other road users
• Smooth use of the controls, with an emphasis on keeping the car balanced at all times
• The ability to overtake other road users discreetly and safely
• Proficiency in using the capabilities of their vehicle to best advantage when appropriate – enabling safe, unobtrusive progress

After the half-day assessment drive, the remaining two days are consecutive. We won't expect you to drive non-stop – we regularly stop for breaks to allow time for discussion. This shouldn't be seen as a 'test' or an 'ordeal' – we'll work with you at all times, offering advice and encouragement along the way. Our aim at Cadence is to take your latent skills and coax and cajole them to the surface, creating an enthusiasm for continual improvement.
