# Trainee Forms

## Definition of an Trainee

A Trainee is over 18, and is applying and taking one of our courses. This could be Introduction to Digital (ITD) or Introduction to Programming (ITP) course.

## Definition of Enrolled Trainee

An Enrolled Trainee meets the CYF eligibility criteria and agrees to the Trainee terms. In brief,  to be eligible you must be over 18, on a low income, have enough time to do the course, and live close enough to attend class in person. We use a decision model to evaluate this called Rainbird. [Read More about Rainbird.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xyNGdHm2qJL5T3z3iQIk9fO9rzwaTbhG92s-wb0YhT8/edit?usp=sharing)  

Enrolment is per course and expires after 18 months. 

You must be an enrolled trainee to finish ITP and to do all other courses (Piscine, Software Developer Course, Launch Module, tracks, etc.)
