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. It sets out what all early career teachers should learn about, and learn how to do, during the first 2 years of their careers. The high-quality, fully funded training is linked to the best available research evidence and delivered online and face to face by the Hub and through the specially designed edt training portal.

Funding for the ECTE
The Department for Education is funding all training at no cost to schools. From September 2021, schools need to provide all new teachers with developmental support and training over 2 years. All state funded schools offering statutory induction receive additional funding to deliver the ECTE. Careful registration on the DfE portal will secure this funding which schools will receive as part of their core funding on 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.
No other profession is as important to the fate of the next generation or is as uniquely rewarding as teaching.
