NQT Information

N.B. A suite of online workshops continues to be available to Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs) via the NIPT online learning platform. There are four Primary workshops, four Post Primary workshops and three Cross-Sectoral workshops available. 

Please note that only NQTs who are fully qualified can register for the NIPT Workshop Programme. Students who have to sit repeat exams are not eligible to attend the Workshop Programme until all examinations are passed and they have applied for registration with The Teaching Council. 

Important Information for NQTs Regarding their Registration Requirements for the Teaching Council

• An NIPT workshop is a requirement for NQTs in schools who are completing Probation (Primary) or PQE (Post Primary).
• Workshops are not a requirement for NQTs engaging in the Droichead process.
• However, NQTs participating in Droichead can count this workshop as an Additional Professional Learning Activity, with the agreement of their Professional Support Team in school.
• If you are teaching in a school with 24 or more classroom teachers (Primary), or more than 700 pupils (Post Primary) or in a SEN Setting, your only route of Induction is via the Droichead process.
