Try European Helicopter Centre (R22/44) @ sandefjord Airport (Torp)
http://www.ehc.no and also Pegasus Flight Training (H269)
http://www.fto.no Organisation based in Skien, Norway. Both these schools offer the training because the type of companies the schools feed are external load companies. i.e they do a lot of sling work.
I would have thought it would be cheaper to take a trip to Canada though. Flight training is way cheaper. Example 1 hour in an AS-350 costs roughly 1000CAN$ .In Norway it costs 8700 NOK. Now to those not fluent in monetary exchange it is like saying £350 versus £780. Now that makes a big difference. So therefore the R22/44, H269 would be a damn sight cheaper. But Canada still wins in the pricings in my opinion.
(I may be out on the Canadian charge here, but i know some schools are doing the 206 @ 900 CAN$ and even if you went up to 1500 CAN$ for your hour, it is still way cheaper than Europe.)
I guess it depends upon the machine and how much training you want to do. If you go to Norway, EHC and Pegasus are the only two CAA registered Flight Schools for training (As far as i know) and if i was to go to Canada, then i would either go to Great Slave Helicopters (H269), up near Edmonton or HTSC(R22) down at Carp Airport just outside Ottawa. It all comes down to the quality of training you are looking for?
Good luck in your search.
