Induction can be completed via short term supply teaching work, and there is no time limit on how long you have to complete your Induction after you have gained Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). If you are completing Induction via supply work you are required to complete a minimum of 380 sessions, a full day’s work is classed as 2 sessions. 1 session is defined as a full morning, or afternoon’s teaching as a qualified teacher. Sessions completed as a school Learning Support Assistant/Cover Supervisor cannot count towards induction. All periods of employment which you undertake as a qualified Teacher of one school session or more must count towards your Induction period and must be recorded with the EWC. There is no flexibility regarding this and you, or schools cannot request that a period of employment does not count towards Induction. Short term supply work undertaken prior to September 2012 cannot count towards Induction.
