I did Young Drivers some 10 years ago. Both classroom and in car sessions is about road rules and good etiquette. If you opted for the MT lessons back then, you would have probably gotten a single extra hour long lesson.

The assumption is that the OP already knows how to drive, just not MT.

As most have said, it doesn't take long to figure it out after the mechanics are described/explained. A few minutes tops to get a theoretical understanding, and 10-15 minutes of practicing the grab point in some empty parking lot.

It takes anywhere from a few weeks to a few months before it all becomes entirely second nature (at which point driving auto will then - for the most part - suck).
