    In Scotland, a Modern Apprenticeship is an approved training course, and the apprentice will be regarded as being in full-time education. Claiming through the CMS would leave them to decide whether  your child maintenance payment is correct or not, but wonder if it is possible to just call the CMS and ask the question? 
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.
