It doesn't look like it is a one on one course...

I think I would prefer to go to a proper HGV training school and get 2-3 hours dedicated one on one training.

Why bother, once you have had a few scrapes you soon get the hang if it.

My advice as a Hgv Instructor is go out and practice, quite industrial estate. Follow the kerb on a right hand bend, and follow the white line on a left hand, checking mirrors to see your line.
Then practice reversing with a person watching you.
most important is learn to read the road 300 yards in front.

I have my HGV glass 2 ,when I pickup my new mh ,I'll spend time on an industrial estate practicing

 

[John and Jo]

Well I dive a fiesta and the Swift Bolero at around 8 m with scooter rack, is my first and only MH driving experience. I find it ok but takes me more concentration than a car. Reading the road ahead (and behind on motorways) mainly. Stopping the thing is not like a car.

The best way to learn how to read the road is to get on a motorcycle , looking ahead and being aware of things such as brake lights coming on and road surface conditions has in the past saved my neck on a motorcycle

BIL went on one a few years ago, his opinion was that it was a complete waste of time.

As Gromett says, if you are worried get some proper LGV lessons, we are about to buy a small PVC as our sole vehicle and my wife will be taking some lessons in a 7.5 tonner, for some strange reason she won't let me give her any lessons

Possibly because it was at Morrisons. Try a Tesco or a Sainsbury.
Good luck!

Proper training from an HGV instructor is brilliant. I think most people would be surprised at what you learn...
