This course allows any student without previous experience in aerial navigation to obtain the following titles:

Private Pilot Licence PPL
Commercial Pilot Licence CPL
Instrument Flight Qualification R22
Multi-engine Aircraft Qualification AS-350 series
I think they are full of crap. What is an "Instrument Flight Qualification R22" supposed to be? They are suggesting an Instrument Rating while probably they are only talking about the regular hours flying under the hood that are required. AFAIK there is no more single engine IFR in EASA land. The worlds first "ME AS-350" has been pointed out already.
There is a couple more red flags on their homepage. They are aiming at the unexperienced that are full of hear-say and are trying appear to check all the boxes by shady terminology.

This Will answer most of your questions. Study carefully and if you still want to become a helicopter pilot, look for a better school than the one you mentioned. Get to know as many people in the business as you can before making your choice. That would be my advice.
