(in S FL - OPF, then HWO).
My course was 5 hours. I found that was usually enough to sign the
endorsement and make me comfortable renting the plane to the student
for solo practice.
The first hour was basically aircraft familiarization (for many
students, this was their first exposure to tandem seating and a stick
as well).
Second and third hours were nothing but full-stall landings.
Fourth hour introduced and practiced wheel landings.
Fifth hour flexible as needed.
A lot depended on how the student was originally taught landing. If
their normal landing was full stall, or close to it, things would go
reasonably well and most of the work was teaching them to use their
feet. If they had been taught to land fast, it was more of a struggle
getting them to hold the plane off until the stick was ALL THE WAY
back, and then hold it there after landing.
All in all, tailwheel training and ability is a GOOD THING!
