If you're confident and able to consistently hit the turn in and apex lap after lap, you're ready for intermediate. If you're still struggling (not suggesting you are) with where you should be on the track, and not smooth with inputs then more coached time would be good.

Also remember that most instructors/coaches are more than willing to come for some laps to give more advice, even if you're not in a beginner group. You'll just have to ask. Same goes for riding along with them, if my passenger seat is empty, come fill it!

Shoot me a PM about that if you want, I'll make sure it gets brought up before the next event.
