I wonder which type of helicopter the training was on, though. Island Express had 3 S76 and 3 AS-350. Eurosafety's US training center is in Camarillo, and they offer "advanced recurrent" training for the AS-350 only (full list of types at https://www.eurosafety.us/recurrent-airframe-training ).
I believe the 293 check needs to be accomplished in aircraft class type (I could be wrong).
