A very quick Google found this http://www.krisblundellintensivedrivingcourses.co.uk/trailer-be-training-in-greater-manchester-and-lancashire/?gclid=Cj0KEQiAiNi0BRDaobaq3dKJhrwBEiQAyVThza7nZMzGt7QETg2_4yP-7oUgrWYPr3dEwOh2JesH0OgaAt5V8P8HAQ
Any use? It appears to vary quite a bit

To MM thanks for the prompt reply,well I now know that he was correct in the cost of adding B+E it to his license.It is surprising to me that I had no idea how expensive it is for the younger generation to tow.Where will this leave caravanning in a few years.Thanks again.

Another money making scam for the motorist. Like you I passed my test when the world was black & white in a MKI Escort so I'm not that up to speed on all the rules & regs myself

I have this on the radar aswell. We are just under the requirement for B+E but when/if we up the size of our car we i will need to upgrade my licence. Being as i'm used to towing now i would just do the test. The test alone cant be that much surely?! I'm not sure where/how you do it either?

The test is just under £120 pounds but I'd advise doing some training as its a real driving test and you have to drive like you did on your original driving test "Mmirror signal manoeuvre".
"both hands on the wheel" I was surprised at how many bad habits you actually have to get rid of before you are to test standard.
i did two half days training and the test the day after that cost me £400 all together but I passed with no problems at all.
well worth spending the money to know your safe and legal to tow.

As it is a different technique when driving an automatic compared to a manual, it has to be separate tests.
I disagree. The test is supposed to be testing your ability to tow a caravan/trailer ..... not operate the vehicle. I've already taken & passed a test to operate a manual vehicle.
