Information for Early Years Professionals

The Government is introducing the Early Years Teachers (EYT) Programme which will commence in September 2013. This will build on the strengths of the Early Years Professional Status (EYPS) Programme and therefore EYPS will no longer be on offer.

There will be one intake of EYT Programme per year and this will be in September.

Candidates for EYT Programme will need Science GCSE Grade C or above as well as Maths and English.

As soon as further information becomes available we will update this webpage. Please be reassured that the transition from EYPS to EYT will be as smooth as possible.
