    Depends on the type of apprenticeship -

    Approved training should be unpaid and can include:

    - Foundation Apprenticeships or Traineeships in Wales
    - Employability Fund programmes or Get Ready for Work (if started before 1 April 2013) in Scotland
    - United Youth Pilot, Training for Success, Pathways to Success or Collaboration and Innovation Programme in Northern Ireland

    Courses that are part of a job contract are not approved.

    Your child must be accepted for the training before they turn 19.
