ECT Registration

1. There are two separate sign-up processes for AB and for the ECF programme. Unless both are completed by schools, ECTs will not be registered.

2. All ECTs must be registered with an Appropriate Body (AB) in order to complete statutory induction. This is done on ECT Manager.

3. All ECTs must complete a 2-year induction that is based on the Early Career Framework. Registration for the ECF programme is done through the DfE portal.

If you register your ECT with the Arthur Terry TSH, North Birmingham for both AB and for our ECF full induction programme, all of your ECT services will be in one place. This will also simplify the registration process. You will have one point of contact within the TSH team who will be able to respond rapidly to your queries and support you through the registration process on ECT manager and the DfE portal.

AB and ECF Registrations for ECTs starting in your school in January 2025 are open now.

Step 1 – All schools

Time Frame:  ASAP

Please complete the expression of interest form which asks whether you intend to use the Arthur Terry TSH, North Birmingham to provide your Early Career Framework and / or Appropriate Body provision for your ECTs starting in January. Once you have completed this form, the ECF team will be able to signpost you to each stage of the registration process.

Step 2 – Schools with ECTs joining them in January

Time Frame:  ASAP

If this is the first time you are registering an ECT at your school, log onto the DfE portal to check that the correct Induction Tutor is nominated.   This will ensure your Induction Tutor receives the correct information to register your ECTs when the portal opens at the end of June.

Step 3 – Schools with ECTs joining them in January

Attend one of the Arthur Terry TSH ECT Induction Tutor drop-in sessions. This is an optional session but we highly recommend attendance, particularly if this is the first time you are hosting an ECT. The TSH ECT team will be running two sessions:

Monday 18^th November: 3.45 – 4.15.
Tuesday 10^th of December: 3.45 – 4.30.

Zoom meeting link for both dates: https://zoom.us/j/92134618583

Step 4 – Schools with ECTs joining them in January

Time Frame: ASAP

All ECTs must be registered with an Appropriate Body. Once you have the full details of your ECTs, and the names of their mentors, you can register them with us on ECT manager. Please be aware that Local Authorities (including Services for Education) ceased Appropriate Body Services from September 2024 so all ECTs must be transferred to a TSH AB.

Step 5 – Schools with ECTs joining them in January

Time Frame: ASAP

The DfE registration portal is now open for January starters. Please register your ECTs and mentors ASAP to ensure ECTs and mentors have access to the online learning platform in January.

Your ECTs must be registered on both ECT Manager and the DfE portal to be eligible to start their Induction Period.
