Yes, they do. At least all Alpha free skills.  
So you have to pick carefully, because as long as you’re Omega, you don’t see the Alpha restrictions.

You retain all skills you train, whether alpha or omega. But once you revert back to alpha, only the alpha skills are unlocked and usable.

This goes for agents as well, youll no longer be able to use any L4 or above agent, including locator
