Yes, depending on the course you will have time off. You can use it to deepen your practice, prepare for the exam, relax or explore surrounding areas. On top of that there are also breaks during the day for meals, self-study, and rest. A sample of the daily schedule is there on each course page on this website, which will give you a good idea of how the day runs.
