Early Career Teachers

Our ECTE Training Programme Offers

Research shows that the first few years of teacher development are the most crucial. That’s why our highly supportive programmes aim to develop knowledge, understanding and confidence, supporting ECTs with a range of practical strategies and techniques to help them to thrive in their first years of teaching and beyond.

From September 2025 the Early Career Training Entitlement (ECTE) will replace the ECF as the programme title and the training programmes have been realigned to encompass the statutory framework in the ITTECF.

We have thoroughly interrogated the proposed offers from the accredited providers and developed a range of options that we are confident will best support the schools across the region. 

We are delighted to share our offer three high-quality options for delivering the ECTE, ensuring your early career teachers receive the best possible support and development.
