Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the son's period from 1 September 2009 to 28 February 2010 counts as training for entitlement to a training allowance.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The Matura and the later animal-keeper apprenticeship did not form a continuous course of education; the military service period intervened in a break between two trainings.
Extrahierte Begründung
A training allowance requires ongoing training within the meaning of the family allowance rules. The Matura did not shorten or materially shape the later apprenticeship, which lasted the ordinary three years plus a prior internship. The gap was therefore an interruption ending the prior training, not a mere military-service-related pause in a continuous education.
