Registering an ECT
The DfE have announced that from September 2025, the ECF Programme will be renamed the Early Career Training Programme (ECTP) as part of a broader Early Career Teacher Entitlement (ECTE). The ECTP will bring together the frameworks for Initial Teacher Training and Early Career Teachers (ITTECF).
The ECTE replaces the term ECF based training and induction. The ECTE includes the training programme (ECTP) as well as the statutory elements of induction.
Registering ECTs and Mentors
ECTs need to be registered before or as soon as they start at your school. The Induction Tutor has to complete two steps to register an ECT for the ECTE. From the 16th June onwards your school will receive an invite from the DfE to register.
Register with the DfE
ECTs and Mentors must be registered with the DfE’s online Manage Early Career Teachers Service (known as the DfE Portal). This will open for September registrations in late June 2025.
