Is anyone aware if you can pause your ECT at any period? Given the chance of a one off lifetime travel experience and may not get the opportunity again.

Any info would be appreciated or if anyone else has paused and restarted their ECT at a later date it would be great to hear.

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

@TweetcherT @MrTs_NQTs Thank you very much. Have a lovely day

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

@TweetcherT @MrTs_NQTs Ah amazing! Would you be so kind to ask which site she has done through or any key info? The site I am looking at offers call backs but their first available slot is not until mid April. Which is a pain.

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

@MrTs_NQTs Thank you! Yeah that site looks a huge help, have requested a call back. But unfortunately it looks like you’re right about the 3 years undergrad.

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

@MrTs_NQTs Thanks for that response! A huge help, I was told I had to complete the 2 years within 5 years of receiving my QTS!

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

@MrTs_NQTs heard a few different answers? Is there a time frame that you must complete your 2 ECT years in? Thanks

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

@louisegrant21 @MrTs_NQTs Thank you! Will have a look

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

@MrTs_NQTs Curious if anyone has completed ECT/NGT years abroad? If so, do you have any advice/websites to gain further knowledge? #teachabroad #ect

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

@MrTs_NQTs @ThomasBlakemore @JaredCawley At this moment in time it’s just a thought for the future, I’m working in a SEN school and very happy but would love to travel in the near future! Thank you! Will check them both out.

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

@MrTs_NQTs does it impact the ECT progress at all if you are in the January cohort rather than the September cohort? Due to a few things at school it means I was registered late. Thank you

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

@ngeachect @MrTs_NQTs @NqtYsj I am a ECT in my first month at an SEN school. Just followed if you would like to DM me anything 👍

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

@EytSara I’ll be honest, mine was brill today! Staff were spot on with me. Fingers crossed yours are the same! Sure you will smash it

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

First day of teacher training😬 nervous to say the least!!

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

@Livvy_20498 Thanks Liv, hope you’re well!

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

@TraineeTwinkl Thank you!

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

@MissRLIScience Thank you! Was a great day

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

@Lilley_Sam22 @MrN_Primary @MrTs_NQTs @TraineeTwinkl Could I be added to this once it’s available, thank you

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

Starting at an SEN school in September. However, initially I am ‘team teaching’ for the first term as I have minimal experience in this sector. Is there anything that is a ‘must do/must have’ prior to September? Thank you!!

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

At some point I’d love to deliver some sports coaching both in schools and in the holidays. From personal opinions/experiences. What are the main issues with sport/PE in schools currently? Be great to hear everyone’s views

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

@HeadRural @MrTs_NQTs Ah I’m originally from up near skipton! Have you got a link for the job? May be able to share it with some people over that way.

[Joe Finnegan @MrFinneganECT]

Received a job offer for primary sports coaching, also delivering active maths and literacy lessons. If I was to take this opportunity for a year, do you think it could impact the chances of me getting an ECT job next year? @MrTs_NQTs any opinions welcome😅
