I expect that the benefits you are referring to are Job Seekers Allowance? Whether or not your boyfriend attends the TGB course will not affect your Tax Credits or Child Allowance.
You should contact Jobcentre Plus on 0800 055 6688 to discuss the issues. I suggest that you obtain a doctor’s note with all the relevant details of their recommendation, and specifically stating that you should not be left on your own. If you give the impression that your boyfriend is keen to go to the training, but circumstances do not allow, they are more likely to be understanding – perhaps rearrange a date to start the training.
I hope this helps, and good luck!
