Year 1 Delivery
We are pleased to be working with local partners for the delivery of Year 1 of the ECF. ECTs and mentors are placed into cohorts based on their Local Authority. Each area has a direct link, who you can contact for confirmation of seminar dates and locations. All September, year 1 seminars take place face-to-face. Due to the smaller size, and larger geography of January and April intakes, most sessions will be online.
