One very cool thing about the diploma is that at the end of the trimester after completing all these modules, you'll be qualified and ready to work in these particular areas if you can manage to find a salon to take you on. It will also be really beneficial to you in future to start working in the industry as fast as you can...and I shall tell you why!
The mentioned academic calendar can be found here.
I've been receiving beauty industry job notifications for a few weeks now to get a feel for what I'll be looking at once I'm qualified. I have to say it's a bit disheartening because about 99% of advertised positions I've come across ask that you have 2 years experience in the industry as a requirement of the job. It makes me worry that unless I graduate top of the school, it's going to be tough getting a start in the industry. So I think if you can manage to find a casual position, even just volunteering your services in a real salon it is going to count toward your overall years of experience when the time comes to look for a full time job.
As I said before, all the schools have student salons where you can use your skills on real paying clients, but I'm not sure how employers consider this experience. I guess you've just got to go out of your way to be the best at school and get some good references and commendations from your teachers.
On another subject, I'm not sure yet exactly what the uniform looks like. I'll be being fitted at orientation day this Friday and will probably receive it on my first day which is next Tuesday the 29th of January.

You needn't bother being a jerk or spammer because you will just be wasting the usage of your muscles typing it out because it will be swiftly removed :)
