No, but I (as probably many others as well) are usually better prepaired for an emergency than for a two-engines operational go-around. The emergencies get trained hands-on twice per year in the simulator and/or on checkrides in the plane. A real go-around ocuurs (in my typical flying) once every two or three years only. If, statistically, I am handling pilot every second time that means that I fly a real go-around once every five years. So these procedures should be designed as safe as possible because few pilots are really current in actually flying them.
