I think it's more a case of Jaune mentioned wanting to learn to fight, but treated it kind of like a kid wanting to learn guitar or something; started learning, got a bit bored and moved onto other things. He just didn't think about it again and his parents were happy to let him drop it if he wanted, so didn't bring it up again.

Then he hit Beacon age and realised "Oh...wait, shit, I wanted to do that!" Instant regret on his part so he got the transcripts. Then his parents went "yeah, we provided some training, he'll be fine. If he fails, he'll just come home" when he turned around and told them he was going to Beacon.
