Ron Haslams school is good and you wont get your racing licence from doing one.

I have heard good stuff about the European Superbike School and the California Superbike School.

You can use one of these days as the 'track school' part of your ACU licence. You also need to do a theory test in Rugby that will cost you £50. ACU Licence is £30, though it does depend on the class, you also need to apply to an affiliated club, another, say £25 for that.

All that is of course little use unless you want to do some racing... or get into the ACU group at trackdays. I would expect the ACU group at trackdays to be very fast on the most part, also expect some pretty aggressive overtaking.

Personally I'd do a few more track days before doing a school. Maybe get a copy of 'The Twist of the Wrist II' and try using some of the techniques in that.
In the end, in my opinion, you need to know where your weaknesses are before you pay lots of money to have them sorted.
However I'm sure it will be good whenever you do it.

Might be worth having a read of Twist of the Wrist 1 first though.
