Bloomin trailer test !!!

[texansunrise]

Please can anyone give me some advice !!

Finally set up at long last with nice 4x4 and IW trailer to finally get my boy out and about and to be totaly independant ( now a lot poorer too!) .. However, this bloomin' trailer test thing is a real head ache..

I am having a lot of trouble finding out any information with regards to trailer lessons and preparing for the test and just general info..

I am getting more confused about what is required so i would be so grateful if any body could enlighten me pls !!

I will be useless at towing and will need all the help i can get ..When you book with an instructor how many hours of training are you looking at ? Months?weeks/days? Also do they put you through the test at the end as included in the course price? I cant find any one my way that does this, so i cant find out about this..im just totaly unsure how the whole thing works.

My partner is a farmer so will find it a doddle and wants to do the test too.. but im unsure if you could book straight in for it or need to have minimum hours training?

Please help !!

Sorry if bit rambly - just off from the phone from DSA and DVLA and feeling dazed and confused and non the clearer
