I second what Billy ( and others ) have said. The reversing is around a cone into a bay, it isn't hard. The driving steady and with some forethought is what counts. It is like an advanced driving test, maybe. I had 6 hours training, you might say 8 if you include the assessment lesson, which gave the firm a insight of how many hours training I would need. It also familiarises you with your test vehicle and trailer, and reversing it, and driving it with weight on ( has to be half a ton, by law now). As it happened, I was a right mess on my first day. Mostly from my truck breaking down when I got there after taking half an hour to start, and a little from me recovering from what was supposed to be a chilled out night out the previous Friday. Still, on the morning of my test I was in better shape and not stressed and it wasn't hard work. Stick to the speed limits, look for changes in speed marked on the road. If it is 30mph, do not go 31mph.. Above all else, you have 12 minutes to reverse the trailer and it is not a race. Do it on tickover or not far off, as showing off will likely attract a bad mood from them and this will likely reflect how they let the hour go by.
