How often do cadets get breaks from their course at Sandhurst?

Cadets at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst don't get breaks in the traditional sense of scheduled holidays like university students. Their training is intense and continuous. However, there are periods of less intense activity, and some time off is allowed:

* Weekends: While weekends involve less formal training, they are still busy with personal administration, self-study, and often physical training or other activities. It's not a completely free weekend.

* Leave: Cadets are granted periods of leave throughout the course, typically a few weeks at a time. The exact timing and duration vary, but it's not frequent and is carefully planned around the training schedule.

* Pass: Shorter periods of leave, sometimes just a day or two, may be granted as "passes" depending on performance and circumstances.

In short, while there aren't regular "breaks" like semesters off, cadets do receive leave and shorter periods of reduced intensity to allow for rest and personal time, but these are carefully controlled and integrated into the overall training regime.
