child tax credit student what age does it stop

Hi my dd is 18 and is just finishing her Alevels which she is expecting to pass . She already has her G.C.S.E and 4 As levels . She has ech plan and has been advised to do a collage course B. tech level 2 and 3 to gain her more independence in learning on her own she currently has a teaching assistant who sits with her each lesson .

Where do I stand from a child tax credit point of view I have just had my award notice and it tells me that in August my payments will change as my daughter course has ended . Do I tell them she has signed up and been accepeted on to this new course or does it not count as she is now 18 .

Many thanks xxx
