I ran motorway lessons and passplus for my students...but you cant force them. Once they have passed its unlikely they want to spend MORE on lessons.
However having motorways/dualcarriageways handy is an issue....for both arguments.
IE: you could pass your test/be trained and never have done over 50 or been on a road with more than a lane for each flow of traffic.
So jumping on the motorway is a HUGE jump. The different rules, signs, the slip road, higher speed and need for more acceleration, careful mirror use, 3 lanes or more plus hard shoulder, have traffic blast passed you at 100mph+.
Its a different ball game for those lads/lasses
