Child benefits and school leavers

[Tanxx76]

Had a child benefit letter come through door to fill in and am lost .
It asks " is this a non advanced education , is this a approved training course " .
Well my sons going to college to do a Game design course so what do i tick ?.
Tired of waiting around on phone to ask HMRC.. up to now been listening to the HMRC tune for 40 mins .
Cant be just who dont know what to tick or not on these letters

What level is the course? Anything from HNC onwards isn’t approved.

Leave 3 am gussing here though and only going by what's written on my sons introduction pack

Further adulation courses similar to a levels, Btec etc are covered. Is it a full time course? Just write in the name of the course and what qualification he’ll end up with

Level 3 is non-advanced, you'll continue to be eligible for CB.

So I tick the none further education box and add the course name ?
Been driving me mad these letters haha

Course lasts 2 years . Just reading more in introduction pack . So dont make things easy calling g so e courses and some higher education ect

A level equivalent is FE. Uni equivalent is HE.

If your DS' course is Lvel 3, then that is A level equivalent, so 'non advanved' FE.

So the box to tick is 'non advanced education'.

Thanks all . Like i said cant just be me who's miffed by the tick boxes .
When you check the web sites not all collage courses ect are listed and getting through to HMRC is such a head ache ether by phone or email .
Much appreciated help .

I completed this form yesterday online on Gov.uk. There was box to type in the type of course and the level (eg Btec level 3). It was really straight forward and took about 2 minutes.

Actually getting into my Gov.uk account took ages! I know its because it has to be secure, but wow!

So understand the frustration hence i thought would be better talking to a person on phone about it . What happened to good old talking .. could i just not have called them when my son left school or wrote a letter . Nope now you have to submit this that and other and hope you have some hair left or dont need to re dye your hair after screaming at the login procedures to everything
