This field is a one character field completed for students on courses that lead to teacher qualifications. The selection will determine the type of the teacher training.

All students

Any student who transfers from an ITT to a non ITT course before the NCTL census date (2nd Wednesday in October) should be be excluded from the census by identifying them during data collection (for further information please see details in the ITT user guide) and/or have their record updated with TTCID = 0 'Not a teacher training course' so that the student is identified as not being on an ITT course. It is important that the same NUMHUS is reported where the student is studying at the same level i.e. UG or PG.

This field is contains a subset of codes applicable to this record from the Course.TTCID field in the Student record.

Code 1 includes PGCE, BEd, first degree with Qualified Teacher Status and courses leading concurrently to a degree and to a diploma in Education.

Code 2 includes courses leading to Further Education Teacher Qualification and to Nursing and Midwifery Teacher Qualification. FE courses will be specifically identified in Student.ITTPHSC code 31 'Further education'.

Code 0 is available for students submitted that are not on an ITT course. When a student has transferred from an ITT course to a non-ITT course at the same institution use code 0 to identify that the student is no longer eligible for funding from the NCTL.

Codes 1 and 8 should only be used for trainees eligible for NCTL funding. Please review the Department of Education website for further information on funding eligibility.

Institutions are not expected to return a record to HESA for students on employment-based routes (e.g. GTP, OTT and RTP). The NCTL collects this data via the Employment Based Routes Data Management System (EBRDMS).

School Direct Training Programme guidance

National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) has provided some guidance for students associated with the School Direct Training Programme:

Code G 'School Direct Training Programme' should be used where the allocation is with a school.

Code H 'School Direct Training Programme (flexible)' should be used as in Code G but when the course is non-standard.

Code L 'School Direct Training Programme (self-funded)' should be used as in Code G but when the allocation is for a Non-Department for Education funded place and the trainee is employed as an unqualified teacher whilst training.

Code M 'School Direct Training Programme (self-funded - flexible)' should be used as in Code L but when the allocation is for a Non-Department for Education funded place and the trainee is employed as an unqualified teacher whilst training and the course is non-standard.

Code N 'School Direct Training Programme (salaried)' should be used where the trainee is in receipt of a salary whilst training.

Code P 'School Direct Training Programme (salaried - flexible)' should be used where the trainee is in receipt of a salary whilst training and the course is non-standard.
