    If you have an Early Career Teacher (ECT) starting employment with you, they must:

    1)  be registered with an Appropriate Body

    2)  receive the statutory entitlement to Early Career Framework training

    We are continuing to work with Ambition Institute to deliver our ECF training programme for the 2024-26 cohort of ECTs - ECT Align 2024-26Your ECTs can train with us regardless of who you choose as an Appropriate Body.

    To register your new ECTs with us, please complete the following steps:

    1) Register your Induction Tutor on the DfE Manage training for early career teachers service if not already registered
    2) Register your ECT with an Appropriate Body (find more information here)
    3) Complete this registration form

    4)

    Register your ECT and mentor on the DfE Manage training for early career teachers service

    Please ensure you have all required information before registration (first name, surname, email address, induction start date, teacher reference number (TRN) and date of birth
    5) On the DfE service, match your ECT with their mentor
    6) Ensure myambition@ambition.org.uk is not blocked by your school email server to ensure delegates receive their ‘Welcome email’
    7) All delegates* to create their account on Ambition using the details in their ‘Welcome email’ and complete the Steplab Access Form

    *Induction Tutors and mentors who already have an Ambition account do not need to complete this step

    It is really important that all steps of the process are fully completed in order to ensure that ECTs and mentors are ready to start their programme in September.

    We know that the registration process has lots of steps, so we hope this flowchart helps make the process clearer.
