Maybe.  According to IRS Publication 17, you are a full-time student if:

 

A full-time student is a student who is enrolled for the number of hours or courses the school considers to be full-time attendance.

 

 A school can be an elementary school; junior or senior high school; college; university; or technical, trade, or mechanical school. However, an on-the-job training course, correspondence school, or school offering courses only through the Internet doesn’t count as a school.

 

Please see IRS Pub. 17 for additional information.

THIS DOESN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION.  dOES THE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM FALL INTO THE TRADE OR TECHNICAL SCHOOL?

What do the people in charge of the apprentice program tell you when you ask them that question?

 Generally, if you're being paid to work, you are not a student.
