It wouldn't be training anymore, so they'd lose their unemployment benefits.
There should be a gentler ramp-up from unemployment benefits to sustainable business, but there isn't so as of today the practical answer to your question is "no, it's not legal".

If self-employed you also don't have to pay national insurance until your profit exceeds a certain level.
