I have been training with the Flinks drive building methods for some time now and am considering next steps: toward bite work.
I am preparing a 2.5 yr old female Beauceron for a B.H. at end of this month and hope to continue to participate in a club some 2 hours away. I train mostly on my own, and for various reasons if I get anywhere near a Sch. 1 as an outcome it will be a major triumph.
nevertheless, I find the methods very good for my dogs and make for enjoyable training and obedience.
How do "Preparing Your Dog for the Helper" (Flinks) and "The First Steps of Bite Training" fit together in the progression?
Is there substantial overlap or are they complementary?

The video's work together fairly well, in my opinion. The "Preparing Your Dog for the Helper" goes over what you can do as a handler by yourself to help develop your dog's grip and prey drive, and this will be a big part of your training due to the distance you have to go to club.
I did these steps with both my male GSD and Mal and it's payed off well with good full grips. Well worth the time you put into this type of training, for sure!
