Articleship

I took 3 months leave for my exams. when i asked about this, my friend  told it should be included in the articleship training. She told thats wat given in the prospectus i.e 18 months of training.  15 months of practical training and 3 months of leave should be included in the articleship training.. Please clear my doubt whether this 3 months of leave should be included in the articleship training.
