ECF - September Cohort
ECT Training Face to Face sessions.
The ECT framework we deliver mirrors the UK framework provided by Best Practice (with additional elements to ensure cultural sensitivity), who are approved providers of the ECT framework by the DfE in the UK.
Upon returning to the UK, participants would be required to complete a final assessment module at their new school, a process that would be facilitated by Best Practice. There is no timeframe for this, ensuring flexibility for our participants. In the eventuality that an additional assessment is required in the UK, it is essential to note that this is a significantly shortened process of between 6-11 weeks, in comparison to the full induction training of 24 months.
The DfE’s guidelines clarify that any reduction in the 2-year induction period, based on previous training or experience, is subject to the discretion of the headteacher and the appropriate body. This applies universally, irrespective of where the ECT received their training.
