It sounds like you're talking about some form of Roadcraft training, rather than handling and skid training. Generally there are two ways into that:- joining a club such as IAM, RoSPA where you will be mentored by another member (cheap, variable quality, occasional) or going to get one-on-one tuition with an experienced Roadcraft instructor (more expensive, more intensive).

It might be a good idea to go and see if you like what you see at one of the open sessions -- the HPC one for Young Drivers is very soon if you're young:-

There's also an AD-UK day coming up soon
