Hello Phil, I wish you luck with the one-to-one training, but I fear the trainer will not be familiar enough with VoiceOver to understand how to manage iWork. You have to do a lot of interacting and bringing the mouse to the VoiceOver cursor and doing a simulated mouse click.
It all sounds very complicated but it's really quite easy once you get used to it. I use Pages regularly in my work as a translator, and I use Numbers for very simple spreadsheets. I've also used Keynote and it's pretty accessible. Hotspots are very useful in iWork and its advisable to hide as many objects in the window as possible to reduce the clutter.
