Leeds City College Term Dates for Apprentices

- Start date:Â Most apprentices begin the week commencing 7 September 2026, aligned with the main college term start.
- College closures you must follow:Â All public holidays, staff CPD days (inset days), and Christmas/Easter college shutdowns apply to apprentices too.
- Off-the-job training weeks:Â Your specific off-the-job training days may be scheduled outside half-term breaks. Always check your individual learning plan.
- End date:Â The academic year for apprentices typically runs through July 2027, with the same end-of-year closure on 9 July 2027.
