As far as i know, its mandatory to train on a helicopter, which is capable to do touchdown autorotations. For this reason in Germany the federal police and the armed forces are not using the EC 135 as initial training helicopter. As mentioned by other collegues, the 135 is also too complex for basic training. If money is not the limiting factor, a light turbine like the 120, B 206 etc. would be fine.

Info for whirlybird:
the glasscockpit in the 135 is not standard, its an option.
