Here in Australia we have pre-apprenticeship/pre-vocational courses offered at TAFE (tech colleges), which amounts to a Cert II (the apprenticeship is a Cert IV, a non-type rated license is a Diploma). So basically, the pre-apprenticeship means that you sit roughly half the theory subjects needed to complete the apprenticeship, get hands on experience on the college's aircraft and get access to the industry, as company representatives will actually approach the college to get an idea of who they want to recruit for their next intake.
If such a system exists in the UK, I'd say definitely get your daughter into one of those. Something like
this might be what she needs to do.
Best of luck to her!
