You are aware there are different forms of training?

The majority of companies cannot afford to give staff and contractors the sort of training that makes them competent in a job. So unless you a competent trainer and the company is prepared to have that person shadow you for a minimum of 3 months, then they won't be competent.

Training somebody in a skill you possess is not creating a competitor. Basic skills knowledge is one thing, you cannot teach experience.

If those type of contracts common? How much would you say the rate should be to ordinary contractors?

Am I the only one thinking about this from another way?!

If the other contract wants to be skilled up talking to them about a B2B arrangement to provide some training, if the relationship works well you have a ironclad substitute if you ever need to call upon one.

What kind of training?

Handover yes, training it's a delivery service that you should be contracted for that propose, and it's more common when the client buys a new product and you are there to give support. Be careful with that.
