Employment based initial teacher training provider

Employment based initial teacher training providers (EBITTs) are responsible for recruiting candidates and assessing and approving applications.

They are given an annual allocation of GTP/RTP/OTTP places by the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA). EBITT providers take responsibility for designing and delivering the training programme. Most EBITT providers are partnerships of bodies such as schools, local authorities and accredited initial teacher training (ITT) providers.

There are about 107 EBITT providers in England. Those who wish to apply for the graduate teacher programme (GTP), the registered teacher programme (RTP) or the overseas trained teacher programme (OTTP) should contact their local EBITT provider.
