Not to hijack a thread, but I've been thinking about doing an advanced riding course, how does Rospa differ from say IAM? I know the Rospa requires repeated testing every xx years, but apart from that I don't know what if any difference there is.My understanding of Rospa was as above though, it's just one test and you get graded at the end depending on your ability.
Not really any difference, IAM you either pass or fail though,

pass IAM and that's it for life, Rospa resit every 3 yrs so have a higher membership rate due to peeps failing or not bothering after 3 yrs
