Agree with you there is easier but not the other way round can sometimes be harder as a counterbalance driver when learning the reach truck often forget to put the reach out.
So reach to counterbalance training.
1st day theory/videos etc + steering practice around obsticles.
2nd day further steering practice + stacking + de-stacking
3rd day further practice theory + practicle test..

sounds about right dos`nt it,just trying to cover myself.
