I believe there is another circumstance where training may take place under a Permit to Fly.
It would seem that there is no direct restriction on the use of a Permit aircraft for training as such. However, the constraint is indirect in that the Permit Conditions normally exclude flight for the purposes of public transport or aerial work.
Aerial Work is defined (ANO) as
"any purpose (other than public transport) for which an aircraft is flown if valuable consideration is given or promised in respect of the flight or the purpose of the flight."
Thus training may take place, in compliance with the Conditions of the Permit to Fly, provided that no "valuable consideration" (as above) is given for the instruction.
