Our ECTE training offer
What is the Early Career Teacher Entitlement?
The Early Career Teacher Entitlement (ECTE) underpins a statutory entitlement to a fully funded, 2-year package of structured support for teachers in their first teaching posts. This is made up of two branches - training and assessment.
Training
The 2-year Early Career Training Programme (ECTP), based on the Initial Teacher Training and Early Career Framework (ITTECF). The ECTP empowers teachers with evidence-led knowledge and skills for immediate impact, designed around how people really learn with a flexible approach considering each teacher’s unique situation.
Redhill Teaching Hub partners with Education Development Trust (edt) to deliver the ECTP
for our region. Click here to view their programme.
To register your ECT, please visit our Registration Guidance Page.
Assessment
The Appropriate Body Service assures the delivery of statutory entitlements for ECTs and that the support, assessment and guidance procedures in place are fair and appropriate. Redhill Teaching Hub is the Appropriate Body for Gedling, Bassetlaw and Newark & Sherwood.

Funding for the ECTE
The Department for Education fully funds all training, at no cost to schools. All state‑funded schools offering statutory induction receive additional funding to support delivery of the ECTE programme. Registration on the DfE portal and sustained engagement with the programme secure this funding, which schools receive as part of their core funding upon successful completion of the programme.
The funding covers:
-
5% off timetable in the second year of induction for all early career teachers to undertake induction activities including training and mentoring.
-
Funding for mentors to carry out training with early career teachers in the second year of induction – this is based on 20 hours of mentoring across the academic year.
More information about funding for the ECTE can be found on the GOV.UK website or the edt website.
