First-year Mentors, who started their training in April 2025.

For our April 2024 cohort, training sessions will revisit the 2 Blocks you have recently completed. This is because this training is designed for our large September 2025 cohort. Attendance at this training will help to reinforce knowledge, and offer you a better opportunity for peer to peer support and networking than if we were to run small/online April 24 training sessions.

Mentors starting in January 2025 should complete the 3-hour induction package available via the link below which takes you to the EDT Online Learning Platform. We would advise that this training is completed as soon as possible, to enable you to best support your ECT.
