Training Provider Information Statements provide an opportunity for Training Providers to publish information on the NES website regarding their organisation, including contact details for arranging visits and work placements. The statement is intended to help candidates identify their preferences for Training Provider. Training Provider Information Statements have now been reviewed and details of Training Providers involved in the 2024/25 Foundation Training Year are now published on the TPI site which you can access on the link below:
https://nes-tpi.azurewebsites.net/TPinfo.html
Details of Training Providers involved in FTY for training year 2024-25 are also published on Oriel.
Training Providers taking part in this year’s recruitment process have two options:
Option A – to submit a preference list of candidates they would be willing to employ and work with over the training period.
Option B – not submit a preference list of candidates.
Prior to making a decision, we advise all Training Providers to read the Foundation Training Year Recruitment Training Provider Handbook.
Please see below for the Expression of Interest and Training Provider Information Statement (TPIS) deadlines for the 2023 recruitment cycle.
