AB ECT Registration
Registering with Cambridgeshire and Peterborough AB Service:
Step 1 - Register with us
All ECTs must be registered with an Appropriate Body to ensure accurate record of the progress of the ECT induction process. To register new ECTs, there are 2 steps that must be completed:
- You will need to complete, sign and return one of the following documents depending on the criteria set out below:
- Service Level Agreement - applicable if you are a new school to the AB or you are an existing school signing ECT/s up in the first term of a brand new academic year i.e. September).
- Addendum to the CPTSH SLA - applicable if you are an existing school and signing up as part of the Jan/April cohorts where an SLA has already been completed at the beginning of the academic year).
- Register your ECT/s on our ECT Manager system, which allows you to track where your ECT is in their induction, submit assessments and monitor their progress. Please ensure you input your ECT's Teacher Reference Number, their full name and date of birth correctly; this will then get sent to the Teacher Regulation Agency to confirm their induction.
Step 2 - Register your ECTs with the DfE Digital Service
Register your ECTs and mentors on the DfE Portal. Please list Cambridgeshire and Peterborough AB Service as your Appropriate Body, and ensure your Delivery Partner and Lead Provider are listed correctly.
Step 3: Register with your ECF Lead Provider
If you are registering on the DfE Funded route and will be using our Delivery Provider Teach First - please refer to the registration process on our Early Career Framework page. If using a different Delivery Provider due to using accredited materials or Design your own, please ensure you follow up on registration directly with them as needed.
