COBIS Programme for Early Career Teachers (CPECT)

The CPECT is a programme of professional development and support for Early Career Teachers in international schools, or other teachers who want to further develop their skills.

It can be completed alongside formal ECT induction (for those in an eligible school – DfE policy states that only schools that have had a successful BSO inspection can support formal ECT induction) but is also suitable for teachers who are not undergoing formal induction but wish to develop their practice.

More information on course structure, dates and fees can be found below.  

Bookings for 2025/26 are now open. 

COBIS is delighted to offer Early Career Teachers the opportunity to complete the two-year COBIS Programme for Early Career Teachers (CPECT).  Participants will combine theory into practice through the application of the three R’s – Read, Research and React.

After my PGCE, I felt unsure of my next steps until I discovered the COBIS Early Career Teachers Course. While my PGCE taught me what to do, CPECT showed me how to do it. This course was incredibly helpful, offering practical tips and guidance. Connecting with educators worldwide was enriching, making me feel supported and less alone in the teaching world. The access to experienced lecturers and fellow teachers starting out was invaluable and refreshing.
