Banksman

Does anyone know of any courses that just cover basic banksman duties for lorries reversing in a yard? All I seem able to find is Banksman/Slinger courses, which aren't really want we need. A quick look on the HSE website turns up
"If you do use banksmen, make sure they are trained to carry out their duties safely. There must be a safe system of work that ensures the Banksman and driver are using standard signals, so that they are easily understood, and that the driver knows to stop the vehicle immediately if the Banksman disappears from view."
So really, if such a thing exists, I'm just after a really basic course that covers the standard signals and the relevant safety points.
Thanks!
