* A college-based student is one who enrols at a college without commitment to any particular firm and the college is responsible for arranging his industrial training.
An industry-based student is one who is recruited by a firm which is responsible for the whole of the students' industrial training: the firm may, or may not, require the student to apply for a L.E.A. grant to cover his periods of academic study.
