Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the post-failure practical internship and school attendance constituted training for family allowance purposes.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The arrangement amounted to training because it involved systematic preparation for a renewed vocational qualification, with more than the required overall training effort.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the regulatory definition of training is not exhaustive. A practical internship can count as training when it is factually necessary for the intended qualification and is combined with regular vocational school attendance, practical work in the field, and exam preparation. The evidence showed an overall training effort exceeding 20 hours per week and a structure comparable to an apprenticeship year.
