I know how he feels. I had never towed anything besides a tiny u-haul when I purchased my travel trailer. I wanted to take lessons for towing. The only driving schools in the Dallas area were off major interstate highways. One was in Denton which meant taking I-35 and the other was off I-20. All of them want you to bring your own travel trailer. I decided that if I could drive in that traffic, I didn't need lessons.
A question: Why don't some of these driving schools provide junk trailers so people could learn to back up, hitch & un hitch, etc. I would have gladly paid for these lessons. I believe these companies would get a lot more customers if they didn't make their customers bring their own trailers. It makes no sense to me to have their customers risk their lives and the safety of other drivers by having your schools off major interstate highways.
