No real “break” but plenty of days off you can work out a move. Just might not know the exact dates it will work until it’s short notice.
If you are older in your class, sure. If you are younger expect only short time periods off between Ground/FTD/Sim. I only had two days off between ground and FTD to learn my flows followed by the oral the day after 5 straight FTD's. Talk about cramming! Ugh. Then 3 days off before the Sim. IOE started 5 days after Loft. So I felt stressed until I finished the sim. Several others in my class felt exhausted/stressed as well. Did good though. Meanwhile others in my class had a week or two off between these and thought life was golden and training was easy. lol They tell you what you need to know so don't worry about that. Just bring your A game.
