Flight crew of an atx training flight in a british hawker, HS125-700 caused a potential conflict during training maneuvers when they made a steep turn not expected by departure controller. In addition, they overshot assigned altitude after given a 'hard altitude' by ATC.

Narrative:
Training flight/check ride with chief pilot. I was demonstrating steep turns but under IFR control. Conditions VFR. Completed a right 360 degree turn then a left. The controller was not expecting a left turn. We caused a traffic conflict. When vectored back on course we were given an altitude of 10000 ft. We climbed through our altitude by 500 ft before recognizing error. We were previously given a 'block' altitude but that clearance was amended with the traffic conflict. We were still thinking 'block' altitudes. Contributing factor: flying VFR maneuvers while on IFR flight plan and having a non standard clearance.

Narrative: TRAINING FLT/CHK RIDE WITH CHIEF PLT. I WAS DEMONSTRATING STEEP TURNS BUT UNDER IFR CTL. CONDITIONS VFR. COMPLETED A R 360 DEG TURN THEN A L. THE CTLR WAS NOT EXPECTING A L TURN. WE CAUSED A TFC CONFLICT. WHEN VECTORED BACK ON COURSE WE WERE GIVEN AN ALT OF 10000 FT. WE CLBED THROUGH OUR ALT BY 500 FT BEFORE RECOGNIZING ERROR. WE WERE PREVIOUSLY GIVEN A 'BLOCK' ALT BUT THAT CLRNC WAS AMENDED WITH THE TFC CONFLICT. WE WERE STILL THINKING 'BLOCK' ALTS. CONTRIBUTING FACTOR: FLYING VFR MANEUVERS WHILE ON IFR FLT PLAN AND HAVING A NON STANDARD CLRNC.
