I sense a lot of determination here. good for you! sounds like you are doing everything you can to be safe in your area. I can understand wanting a little practice before taking the course.
You can simulate the harder launch of uphill in regards to clutch/throttle use on flat ground by leaving the bike in second or third gear when coming to a stop and taking off again. Then all you have to do when on uphill start is add proper timing and modulation of your brake release to the uphill starts.
I hold front brake when stopped and starting on uphills.
on sharp turns and U turns, I have found it best for me to be in second gear, and drag rear brake a little to adjust speed. Then if a little throttle is needed it is not overly responsive.
