Hi Steve

I'm surprised your company doesn't practice autos and rejects; it is really a basic requirement.

Full EOLs in twins is no different to singles, max range still needs min rrpm and range speed, etc and the ability to select and reach a landing spot. You would be surprised how many pilots in wheeled helicopters forget to lower their wheels or simulate blowing their floats if over water. These days I believe most companies won't do full EOLs in the larger twins for economic reasons but should still practise to recovery.

All types of TO and LDG rejects should be practised. Certainly all the guys I've endorsed have done plenty whether on or offshore.
