That's not necessarily true. Costock 'heliport' (9 miles east of East Midlands Airport) is a licensed CAA site but it doesn't appear in the UK AIP.
There is, however, an entry for Great Yarmouth (North Denes) EGSD in the Pooley's Flight Guide.
SAS,
My understanding of the 'training at a licensed site' only applied to ab-initio or initial training. This is due to the requirement for fire cover that you get at a licensed site.
