Again, it would appear that certain indiviguals on Prune just want to comment on the negative, i.e. you were lucky blah blah blah
Would that be me perchance???
As I said, this was something I used to do for a living.
MY interpretation of the legislation is that distance learning through an aviation ground school did not count as being a student. In the one case that I DID encounter at my Local Authority, the discount was refused but no appeal was forthcoming.
If you get a discount, fair enough but I would not say it was your entitlement so don't be disappointed if it's refused.
If being positive means not pointing out rules and regulations, not pointing out the pitfalls and problems, then I'm proud to be negative! I don't want people to think they can do this and that with tax etc, when they can't!
Cheers
