FAA Training Programs

Code of Federal Aviation Regulations 14 CFR Part 61.65(c) details the areas of operation in which training must be received for the issue of an Instrument-Helicopter Rating, and 14 CFR Part 61.65(e) details the minimum training requirements for the issue of a rating. 

A pilot who holds an instrument rating in another category of aircraft can credit the instrument flight time towards the instrument-helicopter rating, and need only complete 15 hours of dual instruction for the rating provided all other requirements are already met.

There is no requirement to take another FAA written knowledge test.
