All the time I was training and SFH from Cambridge I did practice engine failures, with power recovery above 500' agl and practice forced landings/ EOL to the ground. Once in autorotation the most important part to learn and practice is within the last 100' or so before landing, so unless it is taught AND practiced regularly to the ground, how could any pilot really be considered fully current?
This would have to be more important for us SFH/private types who might get in the cockpit less than twice a month.

And if anyone wants the practice, see Liam at Cambridge... he loves them
