If you can;t do it, don't go to the bloody tip and try there.
Took the words right out of my mouth. This is one of the things many simply cannot do!

Each year our school has various visiting groups with a trailer, usually on the back of a Falcon wagon. Watching them try and reverse the trailer to the hall doors to unload gear is hard.... I have had to step in and do it for them several times.

Then, once done, they had no clue on how to apply the brakes, drop down the jockey and unhitch / re-hitch the rig.

So, yes. I think there should be a ticket / extra component to your licence if you want to tow anything over a certain length or weight.
