    We are a federated school, where should we register our ECT?

    Please register your ECT at the school where they will be working.
     
    Our mentor cannot see their ECT
    The Coordinator needs to manually assign the mentor to the ECT on Steplab. Coordinators can find guidance on how to do this in the Support area of Steplab. 
     
    How do we change one of our mentors?
    If you need to change mentor, please email us at ECT.Align@hants.gov.uk so that we are able to update our records. To register the replacement mentor with Ambition, please add them to the DfE Manage training for early career teachers portal. The DfE will then share this information directly with Ambition. Once registered and onboarded, the new mentor will be allocated to all upcoming events. Your Coordinator will also need to assign the new mentor to the ECT. Please also update the record on ECT Manager.
     
    I can’t attend my allocated event.
