Para 376 in latest version:
P376 A non-EEA citizen is eligible for funding if they have permission from the UK
government to live in the UK (not for educational purposes), and have been
ordinarily resident in the UK for at least the previous three years before the start of
the apprenticeship.
You should probably go and read the Rules then Kelly:
P368 Any individual, or relevant family member, who has applied for an extension or
variation of their current immigration permission in the UK is still treated as if they
have that leave. Keeping this permission applies as long as the application was
made before their current permission expired. Their leave continues until the Home
Office make a decision on their immigration application.
You're denying eligible learners opportunities by not following this.

Residency Query
Created
We have an apprentice applicant who is not a UK/EEA national but has lived in the UK for more than 3 years. He has submitted a residence permit which states he is a PBS Dependant Leave to Remain. However this expired 3 weeks ago but assures us he has applied for renewal. Assuming the renewal gives the same permissions, does he meet the residency eligibility?
