Can anyone recommend a car control course? I don't mean pipe smoking advance driver boredom, I mean oversteer skillz, drifting and holding a slide. Must be teaching in your own car , it's for me

Depends.
I've found rallying is the best way of honing your skills when the car is over the limit.
There are a whole host of skills which you'll pick up - drifting is relatively straightforward if it's just power oversteer. Rallying will help you with roll oversteer and lift off oversteer too. Plus handbrake turns, Scandinavian flicks and other techniques.
I would recommend you don't use your own car until you're proficient. The cars I've rallied are properly set up and easier to use.
Try your local rally school - there are a few dotted about.
Car Limits, Andy Walsh, you won’t find better
If you just want to put a car on the lock stops and look out of the passenger window I’ll show you

In your own car? Would your insurance cover that?
Thruxton do skid pan courses in your own car I think. I wouldn’t do drifting on a dry track in your own car unless you take spare tyres to get home
I enjoyed the Mercedes world c63s experience on the oval and straight skid pans, and track, if you’re happy to learn in someone else’s car. Otherwise any big roundabout with runoff will do (joking).
Walshys carlimits stuff is a great way to start if you’re a novice, you’ll learn how to brake, steer, slide and trail brake etc. Good for road driving as much as track.
If you want to step up go for CAT training. Much more of a deep dive depending on what you need, showing you advanced techniques like weight transfer, or race craft and positioning for overtakes or defending etc.
