From http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/index/life/employment/rights_to_pay.htm:
"There are some workers who are not covered by the national minimum wage. These are:-
* workers aged under 16
* apprentices aged 18 or under
* apprentices aged 19 and over do not qualify for the national minimum wage for the first year of their apprenticeship. Once they have worked as an apprentice for a year, provided they have reached the age of 19 and are still working for the same employer, they become entitled to the normal minimum wage for their age
* some people living and working within a family such as nannies, and au pairs. Such a worker will not be entitled to the NMW if they live in the family home where they work and they share meals with the family and they do not have to pay towards their accommodation costs or meals
* genuinely self-employed people
I typed in "Apprentice Minimum Wage" into google
Good luck with it though, the time now will pay off I'm sure.
