Lancashire Advanced Motorists currently operates from Buckshaw Village, Chorley.  During Q1 2026 we hope to begin running courses from a new, second location at Broughton (off M6 / M55 junction), although this may initially be subject to demand and observer availability.

Beyond this, we plan to introduce further centres in the future, so that we can better serve a more extensive area of Lancashire, and specifically the FY and PR postcodes.

Our centres provide a base for our driving courses in accordance with IAM Roadsmart’s requirements, whilst all of our observers are trained and qualified to a nationally recognised standard (Institute of Motor Industries, IMI).

For more detailed information about how and where our courses run, please see their dedicated sites (using the menu bar above).
