Your School Year Is Divided into School Terms and Holidays at The National School of Aesthetics
Our school terms and holidays usually mirror traditional school holidays. We operate on a term system, and we’ve listed the dates these terms start and finish below.
Please note that term starting finishing dates are not necessarily the days your programme may start or finish.
