NQT Resources | EWC, HWB, CPD and Induction Resources

Once your induction is complete, you are fully qualified to teach in maintained schools in Wales. We can support you in finding permanent or leadership roles as your career develops.

Yes, many NQTs complete induction across multiple schools, especially when working on supply. Just ensure your sessions are logged and verified properly.

You must complete your induction within five years of gaining QTS. If not, you may need to reapply or face restrictions on teaching in maintained schools in Wales.

Yes, daily supply work can count towards your induction in Wales, but you must log your sessions and ensure they are verified with a signed Record of Attendance from the school.

You need to complete 380 teaching sessions. One session equals a half-day of classroom teaching.

Yes, in Wales you can complete your induction through short-term or long-term supply work, as long as the sessions are appropriately recorded and verified. You must ensure you are registered with the EWC and that you submit the Short-Term Supply Notification Form before logging sessions.

Any teaching session where you are delivering lessons to pupils, whether in a long-term post or on daily supply, can count towards your induction. Each half-day of teaching is logged as one session, and you must complete a total of 380 sessions to finish your induction year.

A senior staff member or mentor at the school where the session took place must sign off the Record of Attendance. This is then submitted through your PLP.

In most cases, schools will assign a mentor. If you are on supply, the local authority will appoint an external verifier. At TeacherActive, we also offer additional coaching support through our career coaches.

The PLP is your digital portfolio for tracking your induction. You log your teaching sessions, upload CPD evidence, and complete your induction profile here. It is accessed through your MyEWC account once you’re registered.

You can register online via the EWC website. You’ll need your Teacher Reference Number (TRN), an up-to-date DBS check, and to select the correct registration category (School Teacher). There is an annual fee of £45.

Absolutely. We don’t just help with your first role - we support your growth over time, whether you want to move into leadership, change key stages or explore new settings.

Our My-Progression platform offers free, high-quality CPD. These courses also count toward your induction evidence.

You’re not alone. We encourage open communication and offer support via your consultant, career coach, and access to wellbeing resources through My-Progression.
