If my ECT is part time, how long will it take them to complete the induction process?
Arrangements for Part-Time ECTs serving induction on a part-time basis at any point will need to serve the full-time equivalent (FTE) of two full school years (based on a school year of three terms). Therefore, an ECT working part time as a 0.5 FTE will need to serve induction for four school years. It is for the school and appropriate body to decide in each individual case the length of the induction period required which is fair and takes full account of the ECT’s working pattern. In cases where part-time ECTs have completed a period covering but not equivalent to two full school years and can demonstrate that they meet the Teachers’ Standards, they may be able to have their induction period reduced.
