Default Driver development courses

Hey fellas, I'm seriously considering signing up for some form of driver training course. So far, i've searched and found a couple like these:

MIRA driver training -> Driver_Training
Don Palmer 'car control' -> Don Palmer: Car Control Courses
Prodrive 'Arrive and Drive' -> ARRIVE & DRIVE
Cadence -> Cadence Driver Development - Master Drivers Course

Do you guys have any recommendation? MIRA seems really good and thorough and i like it as they provide cars (fwd and rwd) and all necessary equipment. It's pricey though but i guess for a reason.

I'm looking for a course that:

Provides cars (preferably both fwd & rwd)
Provides certification
And at a reasonable price (around 1000-1500 pounds?)

P.S. I'm not looking for a sports car "experience" day but a complete driver training course.

Cheers!

Don palmer is the daddy but you use your own car as there's not a lot of point in finding and going over the limit in control in someone else's car IMHO

I agree with that.

I had the pleasure of a couple of days with Don at MIRA - so best of both worlds

Where in the country are you & how far will you travel ?

I'm from another part of the world actually! Singapore to be exact. So thats about over 6000 miles.

I really want a course that covers everything about vehicle control (which includes inducing and maintaing powerslides, high speed control, wet condition control etc)
