Looking to rent somewhere soon but wondered if this was applicable as I'm on a full time 3 year course.
It depends on 2 things.

To show that you do not qualify as an adult for Council Tax, you’ll need a declaration from your employer stating that:
you will not be paid more than £195 a week
the training leads to a qualification accredited by a body
recognised by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation
(Ofqual) or the Scottish Vocational Education Council (SVEC)

An apprentice is never exempt from council tax, you are disregarded (if you meet the qualifying requirements) but the maximum applicable discount is 50%. The Class N exemption for students does not apply to apprentices.
I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.
