Dates and deadlines for training providers for the 2023 to 2024 academic year

Deadlines for all training providers
DateWhat happens
11 October 2023 The second Wednesday of October every academic year is called the ‘census date’. If a new trainee starts their course after this date, they will not be included in the ITT census publication. This is why it’s important to add your new trainees as they start their training.
31 October 2023 A senior person from your organisation must sign off your new trainee data on or before this date. This should be a different person to the one who submitted the data. This data will be used for the ITT census publication.
31 January 2024 A senior person from your organisation must sign off your 2022 to 2023 trainee outcomes on or before this date. This should be a different person to the one who submitted the data. Some of this data will be used for the ITT performance profiles publication.
