We’re pleased to announce that we will be partnering with Ambition Institute for another year to deliver our Early Career Training programme (ECTP) that builds on the thinking behind the Initial Teacher Training and Early Career Framework (ITTECF).
Programme starts September 2025
Ambition is an experienced provider of ECT training, working with over 53,000 early career teachers and mentors since 2021. They are committed to helping schools tackle educational disadvantage and do so by offering evidence-informed programmes that are backed by teachers and school leaders across the UK.
Why this programme?
The ECT programme is an induction course tailored to the needs of early career teachers, using an evidence-informed, bite-sized curriculum. It equips your teachers with the knowledge they need to make a real impact over the course of their careers.
