Ours was 2 hours Ground, one on the aspects of Tailwheel and one on the aircraft and systems.

The aircraft bits covered aircraft specifics, taxiing, take off, climbing, general handling and then circuits to include wheelers and three pointers, short field and crosswind.

Ask to see the relevant documentation and see what they hand out.

A good read ahead of the course would be “The Complete Taildragger.” Author escapes me for the moment.
