Not sure if they offer training in those areas, but Helicopter Services at White Waltham (formerly Wycombe) conduct operations such as load lifting, aerial filming etc. Leon and team have a lot of experience; if they can't provide the training themselves for any reason, I would think they'd be able to point you in the direction of someone who can.

Just what I was going to suggest..... But Canada would be a good place to try otherwise.

I will be using my 505 for load lifting etc training. Just finished the Bell training in Dallas . Even more respect for what an amazing machine the 505 is after 50 autos to the ground in every phase of flight ... stuck pedals etc . It is a very robust and powerful machine !! I will post more about it later but to anyone who hasn’t done the course with Bell .... if you get a chance do it . It’s pretty full on work in classroom , Sim and Helicopters but every auto goes to the ground .... even the ones you completely mess up !!
