I have never done anything near a track before, and when I explained to my bike mechanic that I wanted to keep doing new things on a bike to improve, but wasn't tempted by a track day itself, he sold this to me. Probably helps that he's the chief instructor at the circuit
But it's somewhere between passing your test and doing a track day. If the thought of doing a full on track day doesn't appeal/is intimidating, this will ease you in. If you know you want to do a track day but don't want to make a complete tit of yourself - or even if you've done loads before (indeed loads of people there were seasoned track day riders) then you'll also get lots out of the day.
A theory session on a concept of riding, a 20 minute track session to put it into practice, a debrief and repeat. Nearly two hours of track time, hours of debriefing with really helpful instructors and a chunk of theory. The best thing about the theory was they did one thing at a time, so you could try to apply just one new thing each time you went out.
A group was 15 people put together due to riding experience, then within that further split down into groups of 5 with an instructor each. So you got a lot of time with your instructor and they saw your progression (and challenges) through the day.
I went from session one wondering what the bloody hell I'd let myself in for and wondering how I was going to complete the day to really enjoying myself in the final few sessions.
As there's only 15 people on the track at any one time there was loads of space to do the speed you wanted to do. Some were quick, some were slower, I myself didn't feel pressured to go faster than I felt comfortable with at any point.
Cost for the day was £175, which considering the track time and access to instructors I thought was exceptionally good value.

Happy to answer any questions on my experience if anyone was interested in the 2022 sessions when they're advertised!
