I don't know of any ATO offering the training.
Meanwhile, glider pilots wanting to fly TMGs have the same option as has existed for years: NPPL SLMG.
Thanks for the answer. Maybe that wasn't clear enough, but I did the training for the TMG class rating with an ATO and passed the skills test. I was able to add the TMG class rating to my PPL, but I wasn't able to add it to my SPL, for the reasons stated.

Thus I'm wondering whether it's now possible to add the initial TMG class rating after passing the skills test to an CAA-issuede EASA SPL.
