nothing to worry about, t's just an introduction to vehicle checks and a driving assessment to make sure you are safe to drive a RM van. Mine lasted about 3 hours but we had regular stops along the way where the instructor discussed my driving and pointed out what I was doing well and what wasn't so good. As long as you listen to his advice and don't keep doing the same mistake you should be ok.
Put "changeover" in the forum search box for more info.

Introduce you to vehicle checks then get in van, go for a drive and come back - job done!

As long as your driving isn't awful you'll be fine :)

Done the driving assessment, all went well, my manager wasted no time in throwing me in the deep end, straight out on delivery by myself :) I feel like it went well all in
