Dates & Times

We are excited to announce a trial of a new, 3-day a week training format. For the Autumn 2024 term this will replace the usual 4-day a week schedule, with the aim of it becoming permanent.

Training is organised around three 12-week terms each year, with a one-week half-term break. Trainees can enrol at the beginning of any term.

Term dates

  • Autumn 2024: Thursday 19th September until Saturday 14th December; with a one-week half-term break beginning 31st October
  • Spring 2025: Thursday 9th January until Saturday 5th April; with a one-week half-term break beginning 20th February
  • Summer 2025: Thursday 24th April until Saturday 19th July; with a one-week half-term break beginning 5th June
