Registrations are now open for our April Cohort of ECTs and Mentors.

1. Register ECT with the Appropriate Body using this link: https://generate.ectmanager.com/Login.aspx if you are a new school you will need to fill the ‘Register your School’ blue box, on the right of this document.
2. Register ECT and mentor on the DfE portal https://manage-training-for-early-career-teachers.education.gov.uk/ if you don’t have an account for this you can click ‘request access’ at the bottom and it will guide you through the process of registering.

Change in circumstances and withdrawals from the ECF

There are many times during the school year, when an ECT may leave a school.

Don’t forget to let us know so we can withdraw them from the ECF programme and pause their training until they take up a new post.

In order to confirm a change in circumstance or withdrawal, please email ecf@wpat.uk and include:

• ECT/Mentor name and school with the change or withdrawal reason.
• If a deferral (such as for maternity leave) the expected return date.
• If an ECT is leaving, whether the mentor will continue training or withdraw.

For local questions about the ECF offer from Generate Teaching Hub please contact ecf@wpat.uk.
