Absolute novice - most suitable trackday?
Someone I know has just bought herself a Monster and is very keen to go on a trackday to improve her riding skills.
My own view is that a "traditional" trackday would be too much, even in novices, but seem to recall RIDE magazine used to run what they called "track based training". Anything like this still happen?
No Limits usually run a couple of 'Novice Only' days through the year atSnetterton as the circuit is pretty easy to learn, has lefts and rights and is therefore a reasonable starting point for track riding.
The groups are slow novice, medium novice and fast novice - based on your assesment of your speed as a road rider - and the aim is that there are no would-be racers or nutters out there to put off the new track riders.

The trackday company that you were with on Wednesday do novice only days where everyone must be on their first ever trackday. Three groups graded and assessed all day with very high number of instructors.
It's not about the particular company or track, it's about how the day is run - heavy policing, loads of instructors, friendly a and safe.
