How to register for the ECT Programme

How to register

If you are registering ECTs and Mentors starting their induction and are in Cohort 5 (2025), they will be enrolled on the NEW Early Career Teacher Programme (ECTP). Please note, if you are registering ECTs and Mentors who are in previous Cohorts (2024 and 2023) and are part way through their induction they will be enrolled in the existing Early Career Framework (ECF) Programme.  

To register your ECTs and their Mentors for the Teach West London UCL ECT programmes, you will need to: 

Step 1: Complete this online form, giving confirmation that you wish your school to work with Teach West London and follow the UCL ECT Programmes.

Step 2: Register your ECTs and Mentors on the Department for Education portal / manage training for ECTs here. Your Head Teacher or Induction Lead will have been provided access to the online portal by the DfE.  

• Please note: Head teachers and the nominated Induction Lead for your school should have a login to the DfE portal. If you do not have access, please email the DfE on: continuing-professional-development@digital.education.gov.uk providing your school‘s name and URN to request a login. 

The ITTECF and ECF are not assessment tools and does not replace a school’s chosen Appropriate Body assessment process. Click here to find out more about the Teach West London Appropriate Body Service.
