Training for Work (Scotland) childcare help?

I am about to start a Training for Work scheme and wondered if anyone knew if there is any help available to pay for childcare on the days I am training. I am not eligible for JSA but have had to put a claim through in order to go on this course. I asked at the Jobcentre if there is any help with childcare available but no one knew the answer and I can't find any information anywhere telling me. I will struggle to pay for childcare for the duration of the course but it's a fantastic opportunity and it will significantly improve my employment prospects.

Thanks

    Only help would be if you asked the company who are training you.
    You wont get help through tax credits as you are not in paid employment of 16hours plus per week
