If you’ve flow tail wheel aircraft before it may be just a case of being checked out on the club aircraft, and so 1 -> 2 hours may be ok.
For me, who’s never sat in a tail wheel aircraft before, I was quite happy to sign up for the standard 5-hour course.
0.5 hours ground handling & practice take offs, e.g. raising the tail before closing the throttle.
1.5 hours local, PLF’s, general handling etc,
3 hours in the circuit, normal approaches, flapless, learning side slipping, short field & cross wind techniques……
