The instructor could tell by the way the car stopped that I was still "threshold braking" even though the ABS was working, which reduces the efficiency of the ABS. Next time he told me to press as hard as I could on the brakes, I did and the car stopped well short of the mark, probably 5 metres earlier than in the first test.
After every break we did another swerve and stop exercise and everytime I needed two goes at it to get the braking right. Since then I have had to exercise the reactions for real and I'm pleased to say that it worked, I now stamp very hard on the brake pedal in an emergency stop.

SOOOOO dangerous this training.
Not all cars have all this technology and to do so in cars not fitted with this sort of technology is a disaster in the making.
Brake stomping is the worst thing one can do
Seriously I'd be asking for a refund and do a proper training course in all sorts of different cars abs and TC and non abs and nonTC
